Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes in great detail the Matrix Methods of Structural Analysis used extensively for the analysis of skeletal or framed structures. The book gives complete coverage to the subject starting from the basics. It is organized in four parts: • Part 1 contains basic knowledge required to understand the subject i.e. Matrix operations, Methods for solving equations and concepts of flexibility matrix and stiffness matrix methods. • Part 2 deals with the applications of stiffness and flexibility matrix methods using system approach. By taking simple examples, the steps involved in both the methods are discussed and it is concluded why stiffness matrix method is more suitable for analysis of skeletal structures. • Part 3 covers the Stiffness matrix (displacement) method with member approach (direct Stiffness method) which is extensively used in the analysis of framed structures. It gives the details of the method, the steps involved in the method and its application to plane truss, space truss, beams, plane and space frames and grids. • Part 4 includes a unified computer program written in FORTRAN/C for the analysis of framed structure. The development of computer program, explanation of various subroutines, input output formats with examples is given in this section. An accompanying CD with the book contains source code, explanation of INPUT/OUTPUT and test examples. Though, the concepts have been presented in quite general form so that the book serves as a learning aid for students with different educational backgrounds as well as the practicing engineers, the primary objective is to present the subject matter in a simple manner so that the book can serve as a basic learning tool for undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil engineering.

This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divided into 12 chapters, Matrix Methods for Advanced Structural Analysis begins with an introduction to the analysis of structures (fundamental concepts and basic steps of structural analysis, primary structural members and their modeling, brief historical overview of methods of static analysis, programming principles, and suggestions for the rational use of computer programs). This is followed by the principal steps of the Direct Stiffness Method including plane trusses, plane framed structures, space trusses, and space framed structures. The case of plane or space framed structure, including possible rigid elements at their beam ends (rigid joints) is discussed in detail. Other topics discussed in this reference include the procedure for analyzing beams with internal releases (partial connection of beam elements) and elastic hinges, as well as the alternative handling of internal releases by modifying the element stiffness matrix. Furthermore, the Method of Substructures is demonstrated for the solution of large-scale models in terms of the associated number of degrees of freedom. The principal steps of the Direct Stiffness Method are presented for plane and space trusses, as well as plane and space framed structures The handling of beams with internal releases and elastic hinges The method of substructures for large-scale structures A computer code (basic steps and source files) based on MATLAB® software for the analysis of beam-like structures

Download or read book Non Linear Static and Cyclic Analysis of Steel Frames with Semi Rigid Connections written by Siu-Lai Chan and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-05-19 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the discussion and studies of simple and efficient numerical procedures for large deflection and elasto-plastic analysis of steel frames under static and dynamic loading. In chapter 1, the basic fundamental behaviour and philosophy for design of structural steel is discussed, emphasising different modes of buckling and the inter-relationship between different types of analysis. In addition to this, different levels of refinement for non-linear analysis are described. An introduction is also given to the well-known P-&dgr; and P-&Dgr; effects. Chapter 2 presents the basic matrix method of analysis and gives several examples of linear analysis of semi-rigid pointed frames. It is evident from this that one must have a good understanding of first-order linear analysis before handling a second-order non-linear analysis. In chapter 3, the linearized bifurcation and second-order large deflection are compared and the detailed procedure for a second-order analysis based on the Newton-Raphson scheme is described. Chapter 4 introduces various solution schemes for tracing of post-buckling equilibrium paths and the Minimum Residual Displacement control method with arc-length load step control is employed for the post-buckling analysis of two and three dimensional structures. Chapter 5 addresses the non-linear behaviour and modelling of semi-rigid connections while several numerical functions for description of moment versus rotation curves of typical connection types are introduced. The scope of the work in chapter 6 covers semi-rigid connections and material yielding to the static analysis of steel frames. Chapter 7 studies the cyclic response of steel frames with semi-rigid joints and elastic material characteristics. In the last chapter the combined effects of semi-rigid connections and plastic hinges on steel frames under time-dependent loads are studied using a simple springs-in-series model. For computational effectiveness and efficiency, the concentrated plastic hinge concept is used throughout these studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matrix Methods of Structural Analysis presents how concepts and notations of matrix algebra can be applied to arriving at general systematic approach to structure analysis. The book describes the use of matrix notation in structural analysis as being theoretically both compact and precise, but also, quite general. The text also presents, from the practical point of view, matrix notation as providing a systematic approach to the analysis of structures related to computer programming. Matrix algebraic methods are useful in repeated calculations where manual work becomes tedious. The Gaus-Seidel method and linear programming are two methods to use in solving simultaneous equations. The book then describes the notation for loads and displacements, on sign conventions, stiffness and flexibility matrices, and equilibrium and compatibility conditions. The text discusses the formulation of the equilibrium method using connection matrices and an alternative method. The book evaluates the compatibility method as programmed in a computer; and it discusses the analysis of a pin-jointed truss and of a rigid-jointed truss. The book presents some problems when using computers for analyzing structures, such as decision strategy, accuracy, and checks conducted on handling large matrices. The text also analyzes structures that behave in a non-linear manner. The book is suitable for structural engineers, physicist, civil engineers, and students of architectural design.

This book was released on 2023-05-27 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The structural analysis deals with the determination of the response of the structure subjected to loads. The rapid development of computers and the need for complex and lightweight structures led to the development of the matrix method of structural analysis. The readers of this book should be familiar with consistent deformation and slope deflection methods of structural analysis. The systematic development of these methods to suit computer applications gave rise to Matrix Method of Structural Analysis. The development of consistent deformation method led to Flexibility Matrix Method, while the development of slope deflection method led to Stiffness Matrix Method. The book deals with the subject in four chapters starting from the Introduction; Flexibility Matrix Method: Element Approach; Stiffness Matrix Method: Element Approach; and Computer Programming Preliminaries. One Appendix Matrix Algebra Review is also given at the end of the book. This book will be a useful reading for students of civil engineering.

Download or read book Simplified Nonlinear Analysis of Large Space trusses and Space frames Using Explicitly Derived Tangent Stiffnesses and Accounting for Local Buckling written by Kunihiro Kondoh and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simplified finite element methods for finite deformation, post-buckling analysis of large space trusses and space frames are presented. Arbitrarily large rigid translations and rigid rotations of each member are accounted for. Each 3-D truss member is assumed to withstand an axial force, while each 3-D frame member is assumed to withstand two bending moments, a twisting moment, and transverse and axial forces at each node. The influence of local (member) buckling on global instability is systematically examined. For both 3-D truss and frame members, explicit tangent stiffness matrices are derived. By 'explicit;' it is meant that no element-wise basis functions are assumed and that no element-wise numerical integrations are involved. These explicit tangent stiffness matrices are very simply evaluated at any point in the load deformation history of a space truss, or space frame, undergoing large deformations, as well as in the post-buckled region of behavior of these structures. An arc-length method is implemented to trace the post-buckling behavior of these large space structures. A large number of examples are included to: (1) bring out the economy as well as accuracy of the simplified method developed; (2) indicate the effectiveness of the present method in creating reduced-order models of large space structures; and (3) delineate the process whereby the overall behavior of the structure can be vastly improved by controlling the deformation of individual members through active or passive mechanisms. Keywords: Reduced order model; Simplified nonlinear analysis; Finite deformations; Finite rotations; Semi-tangential rotations; Exact tangent stiffness matrix; LSS (Large Space Structure) control; Arc-length method.
