Banded Symmetric Matrices and Bandwidth
The coefficient matrix (stiffness matrix) for the linear equations
in structural analysis is always symmetric and banded
The skyline
An Envelope begins with the first
nonzero coefficient in each column
of the stiffness matrix.
Only the coefficients between the main
diagonal and the skyline are stored.

Banded Symmetric Matrices and Bandwidth
nb = nd(m + 1)
m = 4 - 1 = 3 and nd = 2, nb = 2(3 + 1) = 8.
6
The Execution Time (Primarily, Equation-Solving Time)
A function of the number of equations to be solved
Without using Banded Storage of Global Stiffness Matrix K,
the Execution Time is Proportional to (1/3)n3.
n = the Number of Equations to be Solved.
Using Banded Storage of K,
The Execution Time is Proportional to n(nb)2.
The Ratio of Time of Execution without Banded Storage to
that using Banded Storage is (1/3)(n/nb)2.
For the Plane Truss Example, the Ratio (1/3)(24/8)2 = 3.
Therefore, it takes about Three Times as long to execute the
Solution of the Example Truss if Banded Storage is not used.
