Matrix Structural Analysis (Introduction)

Detailed overview of Matrix Structural Analysis (Introduction).

Stiffness Method

The Stiffness Method (Displacement Method) is the basis for most computer analysis software. Global system equation: $[K] \{D\} = \{F\}$ Where:

• $[K]$ is the global stiffness matrix.
• $\{D\}$ is the displacement vector.
• $\{F\}$ is the force vector.
