Types of framed structures, deformations in framed structures, compatibility equations, relation between flexibility and stiffness matrices, equivalent and combined joint loads are main topics tackled in this chapterĬhapter three includes an introduction to fundamentals of the stiffness method, advantages of the stiffness method in comparison with the flexibility method, stiffness of prismatic members (truss, beam, and frame).Ĭhapter four introduces the analysis of structures by the stiffness method including the formalization of the stiffness method, and steps of the analysis process. By the end of chapter one, additional problems are let to the student to proceed to solve.Ĭhapter two includes an introduction to the advantages of stiffness method compared to other methods of structural analysis. More solved examples are then given to consolidating the understanding of kinematic stability. Kinematic stability is introduced through a set of worked examples covering a wide spectrum of structures (plates, bars, frames, and trusses) with various supporting conditions (hinges, rollers, fixed and internal conditions). The book’s content is divided into six chapters and two appendices Ĭhapter one includes types of supports, equilibrium equations, and theory of kinematic stability. A deep explanation of main theoretical basics is followed by worked examples. The major feature pertains to its problem-solving approach to touch student learning capacities. The present book offers a set of distinguishing features in comparison with other books. The stiffness method is tackled in almost all textbooks dealing with structure theories.
