Numerical methods
Disadvantages:
• bulky calculations (not for hand calculations);
• structural members should have some certain
number of unknown nodal forces and nodal
displacements; for complex members such as curved
beams and arbitrary solids this requires some
discretization, so no analytical solution is possible.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF MATRIX METHODS

Advantages:
• very formalized and computer-friendly;
• versatile, suitable for large problems;
• applicable for both statically determinate and
indeterminate problems.

Classification

Stiffness matrices
for members
Transformed
stiffness matrices
Stiffness matrices are
composed according to
member models
Stiffness matrices are
transformed from local to global
coordinates
Final equation
F = K � Z
Stress-strain state
of structure
Unknown displacements and
reaction forces are calculated
Stiffness matrices of separate
members are assembled into a
single stiffness matrix K
STIFFNESS MATRIX OF STRUCTURAL MEMBER
5
Stiffness matrix (K) gives the relation between vectors
of nodal forces (F) and nodal displacements (Z):

ASSEMBLY OF STIFFNESS MATRICES
7
To assemble stiffness matrices of separate members
into a single matrix for the whole structure, we should
simply add terms for corresponding displacements.
Physically, this procedure represent the usage of
compatibility and equilibrium equations.
Let’s consider a system of two rods:

TRANSFORMATION MATRIX
12
Transformation matrix is used to transform nodal
displacements and forces from local to global
coordinate system (CS) and vice versa:
Transformation matrix is always orthogonal, thus, the
inverse matrix is equal to transposed matrix:

T T−−−− ====
F T F Z T Z= ⋅ = ⋅= ⋅ = ⋅= ⋅ = ⋅= ⋅ = ⋅
The transformation from local CS to global CS:
T TF T F Z T Z= ⋅ = ⋅= ⋅ = ⋅= ⋅ = ⋅= ⋅ = ⋅
For simplest member (rod) we get:

TRANSFORMATION MATRIX

To transform the stiffness matrix from local CS to
global CS, the following formula is used:
EXAMPLE FOR A TRUSS
15
The truss has three members, thus 6 degrees of
freedom. The stiffness matrix will be 6x6.
