Question :
The concepts presented in Truss analysis using stiffness method will be extended and applied to the analysis of the BEAMS.
a) Derive the global member stiffness matrix for Beams. Show your steps for the application of the Stiffness method for Beam
analysis.
ANSWER A
Consider the equation of the deformation of a 3e degree polynomial whose coefficients are indeterminate constants in generalized coordinates
:
HOOKE'S LAW : σ = E * ε
Then becames :
We know that the moment of inertia with respect to the Z axis is given by this formula :
ANSWER B
Example 1
We knowthat :
