‘The first edition of this book was written 20 years ago, but our aims remain the same:
to place proper emphasis on the methods of matrix structural analysis used in cutrent
practice and to provide the groundwork for forthcoming practice and allied, more
advanced subject matter. The present edition accounts for changes in practice that
have taken place in the intervening years, and it incorporates advances in the art of
analysis we regard as suitable for application now and of increasing importance to
practitioners in the years just ahead
‘Among the major changes from the first edition is the addition of chapters on the
nonlinear analysis of framed structures, treatment of the solution of nonlinear prob-
lems, and packaging of a compact disk containing the computer program, MASTAN2.
‘The major reductions include the deletion of Chapter 7 on the flexibility method,
Section 10.7 on the transfer matrix method, and Chapter 12 on the finite clement
‘method. The entire text and illustrative examples have also been edited extensively,
‘and several chapters have been repositioned. These changes deserve some explanation.
‘The reduction in coverage of the flexibility method was presaged by a comment in
the preface to the first edition: “It is hardly used in practice.” Although the method is
advantageous in certain circumstances and we believed it might receive greater atten:
tion if cast in a moce efficient form, such has not been the case. Therefore, the de-
velopment of flexibility method equations of global analysis has been deleted. But
extensive coverage of the flexibility approach to the determination of clement force-
displacement relationships has been retained because of the value that it has in many
tances. Elimination of the global flexibility method formulation also led to recon
sideration of the chapter oa the equations of statics and kinematies (Chapter 6 of the
first edition) which was in large measure preparation for the identification of redundant
forces in the flexibility method. That material has been deleted also. The other dele-
tions—-material oa the transfer matrix method and the general finite clement concept—
‘wore made in the interest in retaining a reasonably wieldy volume.
“The additions represent some departures from the spirit of the frst edition. In that
edition’s preface it was noted that, in concentrating on the direct stiffness method, we
were dealing with an accredited, widely practiced procedure, whercas an earlier gen-
eration of texts frequently dealt with subject matter that was not fully crystallized.
Nonlinear structural analysis has a long history and itis the subject of a number of
books and some highly sophisticated computer programs, but it can hardly be called
“erystallized.”" Many of its features are ad hoc—in the good sense of the term—and
are in need of reduction to more routine procedures through further research and
‘generalization, Others may always require the expertise of specialists in analysis, as,
‘opposed to the design engineer who has many additional concerns. Nevertheless, itis
believed to be timely, and indeed necessary, to include an introduction to nonlinear
analysis in a text on tho analysis of framed structures, particularly those of the civil
engineering variety. Techniques for its practical application are at hand, and there is,
a growing awareness of their place in design.
‘Similarly in the fist edition we decided to exclude computer programs, citing in its
preface their rapid obsolescence and the widespread availability of commercial pro-
grams such as STRUDL. Advances ia all areas of computer technology aver the pastMi Preface to the Second Badition
twenty years have changed tht. Particularly relevant to our subject isthe capacity for
packaging structural analysis programs of significant power in an interactive graphic~
PSpposted medium suitable for running on readily available personal computers The
computer is Bota substitite for mastery ofthe subject matter, but in the ability forthe
{eer to control the terms of the analysis and to picture the results that itmow provides,
itean be an invaluable eid to understanding the theory and appreciating the physical
gnificance of the outcome. We believe these pedagogical advantages outweigh the /
navitabilty of obsolescence and are therefore packaging with every copy of the text |
MASTAN2!, an interactive graphies program with provisions for geometric aad ma-
terial nonlinear analysis, as well 8& conventional linear elastic anlysis. MASTAN2 is
based on MATLAB", a premicr software package for numerie computing and data {
analysis.
“Also, whereas we used SI units exclusively inthe fst edition, in this one many of
the examples and problems-particulary those of a nonlinear natuce that have strong,
Jimplications for design-—are ia Imperial units. We do this because the SI system has
rer teen fully asimilated in practice, and we believe that appreciation of the physical
Significance ofthe results is essential to their understanding,
‘us aims forthe present edition are explained further inthe following discussion of
‘the motivation and salient features ofthe respective chapters:
“Three purposes are served by Chapter i, the introduction, iss, we present # concise
sketch of the development ofthe subject. One intent of this history is to emphasize
thet computerized structural analysis methods ate merely one part of a continuing
process that extends back more than 150 years, Second, the role that computerized
TTructural analysis bas played in the design of existing structures is outined. Finally,
the computer capabilities themselves are tied to the programs written for structural
fnalyis, Particular altention is given to the development and use of interactive com:
puter graphics.
‘Chapters 2-5 represent closely allied subject matter related primarily to the direet
stiffness method. Chapter 2 serves to define terminology, coordinate systems, and the
host fandamtental notions of structural behavior, but itelo contain two developments
ot great generality. The first i the basic character of elemental relations in the form
of aiffnets and fesbiity and theistransformabilty from one to another and even to
Shernative formats. The second is the fundamental idea of direct stifiness analysis,
described here by means ofthe simplest structural element.
"A more forial treatment is given to direct stiffness analysis in Chapter 3 and, con-
sequently itis possible (o examine more closely the implications for large-scale prac-
tical computation. The later include considerations such a8 the characteristics ofthe
igebraie equations that are to bé formed and solved. Ia Chapters 4 and 5 the emain-
ing tools needed forthe linear elastic stifiess analysis of complete frames are estab-
ished, The stifiness matrix ofa rather general space-frame clement is formulated and |
then applied, in illustrative examples, toa variety of specic situations
“Two comments on Chapters 2-5 are appropriate, The frst is that, except for some
‘editing ofthe text and modification of the examples and problems, they are identical
to the same chapters of the first edition. The second is that this intial development of
the subject features the basic physical conditions of structural analysis: equilibriam,
compatibility, and the mechanical properties of the material. Reliance on work and
cnergy concepts is kept to a minimum. Our feeling is that it is preferable to help the
