Matrix Methods of Structural Analysis

Specifications

Book Description

Matrix Methods of Structural Analysis is a document available in a portable document format (PDF) that discusses matrix methods of structural analysis for linearly elastic framed structures. It begins with a basis of matrix analysis of structures and then moves on to a process to build a force-displacement relation for a given structure by making use of flexibility and stiffness coefficients. The remainder of the chapter is devoted to discussing the study of framed structures utilizing methods of flexibility, stiffness, and direct stiffness. The appendix contains a number of straightforward MATLAB programs that can be used to do structural analysis.
