    Stiffness Method Beam

    Uploaded by

    Taha Gargoum
    This document provides an overview of the stiffness method for analyzing beams and trusses. It discusses identifying members and nodes, developing member and global stiffness matrices, and assembling the matrices to solve for displacements and reactions. An example problem is presented to demonstrate determining support reactions for a beam using the stiffness method. The general steps involve subdividing the beam, assigning degrees of freedom to nodes, developing element stiffness matrices, assembling the matrices, and solving the resulting system of equations.

    STIFFNESS METHOD: BEAM ANALYSIS
    General Procedure of Analysis
    Member and Node Identification
    • Subdividing beam into finite elements
    • Generally, each element must be free from load and have prismatic cross-section
    • Nodes are located at:
    a) supports or at where elements connect
    b) where external force is applied
    c) where cross-sectional area changes
    d) where vertical or rotational displacement is to be determined
    For example:
    2 4 6 8
    1 3 5 7
    1 2 3 4
    1 2 3
    STIFFNESS METHOD: TRUSS ANALYSIS
    General Procedure of Analysis
    Global and Member Coordinates
    • There is no need for matrix transformation because the x’ and x axes are
    parallel for beams

    Kinematic Indeterminacy
    • Each node has two degrees of freedom:
    a) Vertical displacement
    b) Rotational displacement
    STIFFNESS METHOD: BEAM ANALYSIS
    Beam-Member Stiffness Matrix
    Considering member 1 from the same beam example, its k is :

    2 1 4 3

    3
    STIFFNESS METHOD: BEAM ANALYSIS
    Beam-Structure Stiffness Matrix
    • When k for all members have been formed, assembling them in sequent
    (according to the numbering of degree of freedom) will result in K for the
    whole beam
    • When two or more members are connected at one node, all element in k
    of the corresponding members are added together and placed in the
    correct row and column in K
    • The summing of all the elements means adding up all of the resistances
    of the node
    STIFFNESS METHOD: BEAM ANALYSIS
    Example
    Determine the reactions at the supports for the beam below:

    2 4 6
    5
    1 3 5
    1 2
    kN 3

    1 2

    2 2

    STIFFNESS METHOD: BEAM ANALYSIS
    Example

    2 1 4 3 4 3 6 5
    2 4
    1 3
    4 6
    3 5

    Eliminating multipliers to 0 (highlighted areas) gives:


    0 = EI (2 D1 + D3 )
    0 = EI (D1 + 4D3 + D5 - 1.5D6)
    0 = EI (D3 + 2 D5 – 1.5 D6)
    -5 = EI (-1.5D3 – 1.5D5 + 1.5 D6)
