 Stiffness Method
Structural Analysis
Method of Analysis
• Equilibrium is satisfied when the reactive forces hold
the structure at rest.
• Compatibility is satisfied when various segments of the
structure fit together without intentional breaks or
overlaps.
• Force displacement relationship depends upon the way
on which material behaves. Since our material is elastic
or we are developing the equations for elastic limit of
our structure.

Structural Analysis
Force Method (History)
• Originally Developed
• James Clerk Maxwell in 1864

Otto Mohr Heinrich


Muller
• First method of analysis for Statically Indeterminate Breslau

structures.
• Since compatibility forms the basis of this method
hence it is also known as compatibility method or
method of consistent deformations or displacements.
Structural Analysis
Force Method
• This method includes at first writing force-
displacement relationship and then satisfying the
equilibrium requirements for the structure.
• The unknowns in the equations are displacements.
• Once displacements are obtained, the forces are
determined from force-displacement and
compatibility equations.

Force Method
General Procedure for vertical force as redundant
• Consider the beam shown in figure (a)
• There are four unknown reactions.
• The beam has DOI=4-3 = 1°
• In order to analyze this structure principle of
superposition will be used as follows.
• Choose one of the unknown reaction as redundant
and temporarily remove its effect from the beam to
make it Statically determinate structure as shown
in figure-(b) and termed as “Primary structure”.

General Procedure for vertical force as redundant
• When the support is removed at joint B, it will
cause deflection “ΔB” or δBB
• On the other hand when the redundant force
“By” is applied as shown in fig-(c) it will cause
upward deflection “Δ’BB” i.e. deflection at joint
“B” due to redundant force at “B”.

General Procedure for vertical force as redundant
• Using figures “b” and “c”, the compatibility condition at support “B”
can be written as follows

0 = −Δ𝐵𝐵 + Δ 𝐵𝐵

• Where Δ 𝐵𝐵 = 𝑓𝐵𝐵 ∗ 𝐵𝑦
• The first equation can be modified as follows
0 = −Δ𝐵𝐵 + 𝑓𝐵𝐵 ∗ 𝐵𝑦
Where fBB is a measure of deflection per unit force obtained using
figure – d using unit force method.

Δ = 𝑓𝐵𝐵 ∗ 𝐵𝑦 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝐵𝑦 = 1 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝐹𝑖𝑔𝑢𝑟𝑒 − 𝑑
𝐵𝐵

Therefore 𝑓𝐵𝐵 = Δ 𝐵𝐵
• Hence the unknown force will be obtained using above equation in the
following form.
Δ𝐵𝐵 𝐿 𝑀𝑚 𝑑𝑥 𝐿 𝑚2 𝑑𝑥
• 𝐵𝑦 = where Δ𝐵𝐵 = ‫׬‬0 & 𝑓𝐵𝐵 = ‫׬‬0

termed as “Primary structure”.

General Procedure for Moment as redundant
• When the fixed support is removed at joint A, it will cause
rotation under load “P” as “θA”
• On the other hand when the redundant force “MA” is
applied as shown in fig-(c) it will cause CCW rotation
“θ’AA” i.e. rotation at joint “A” due to redundant moment at
“A”.

Force Method
General Procedure for Moment as redundant
• Using figures “b” and “c”, the compatibility condition at
support “B” can be written as follows

0 = +θ𝐵𝐵 + θ 𝐵𝐵
• Where θ′𝐴𝐴 = α𝐴𝐴𝑀𝐴

• The first equation can be modified as follows


• 0 = θ𝐵𝐵 + α𝐴𝐴𝑀𝐴
• Where αBB is a measure of angular displacement per unit
moment obtained using figure – d using unit force method.
• Hence the unknown force will be obtained using above
equation in the following form.
θ𝐵𝐵
• 𝑀𝐴 = −
α𝐵𝐵

Structural Analysis
Force Method
• When Maxwell developed the force method of analysis, he also published a
theorem that relates the flexibility coefficients of any two points on an elastic
structure—be it a truss, a beam, or a frame.
• This theorem is referred to as the theorem of reciprocal displacements and may
be stated as follows: The displacement of a point B on a structure due to a unit
load acting at point A is equal to the displacement of point A when the unit load
is acting at point B, that is

𝑓𝐵𝐴 = 𝑓𝐴𝐵
• Similarly for rotations αBA= αAB
