Basic concepts of matrix methods of structural analysis

Degree of static indeterminacy: To solve the statically indeterminate structure apart from equilibrium equations. We need additional computability equations. These numbers of additional equations is called degree of static inderminacy. Degree of kinematic indeterminacy: In kinematically indeterminate structure, the number of unknown displacement components is greater than the number of compatibility equations. For these structures, additional equations. For these structures, additional equations based on equilibrium must be written in order to obtain a sufficient number of equations for the determinations of all the unknown displacement components. The number of these additional equations necessary for the determination of all the independent displacements components is known as the degree of kinematic indeterminacy. Force method: Determine the degree of static indeterminacy. Release the redundant care should be taken in selecting the internal and external redundant so that the released structure is statically determinate, stable and as simple as possible. Co-ordinates 1, 2 ,. . . . .n are assigned internal as well as external. The net displacement at a co-ordinates in the actual structure is evidently the sum of the displacement caused by the applied loads and displacement due to the redundant in the released structure.

These equations represents compatibility equations, is sufficient for the determination of all the redundant.

Determine the degree of freedom of the beam. This is called kinematic indeterminacy. Assign co-ordinates to each degree of freedom. Lock all the joints so that each span behaves like a fixed ended beam. Calculate fixed end moments due to applied loads, as well as yielding of supports. These represents and respectively. Compute the forces (moment) at coordinates by adding moments. where Develop the stiffness matrix. Next let the supports and joints be unlocked permitting displacements at the co-ordinates. These displacements require at coordinates. Let the external forces at co-ordinates, then the condition of equilibrium of the structure may be expressed by the equations.
