Unit 06 Matrix structural analysis

Setup of a procedure (set of instructions carried out by a digital computer) for the solution of: • 2D structures composed by beams and columns, with internal and external constraints, made of beams with cross sections symmetrical respect to the vertical plane, lying in the same plane • loaded by: • concentrated forces applied in the vertical plane, couples with moment axis perpendicular to vertical plane, applied on nodes • concentrated or distributed forces contained on vertical plane, applied along the beams • and made of linear elastic materials.
