Topic: Direct flexibility method numerical problems
 FORMATION OF STRUCTURE FLEXIBILITY MATRIX
USING ELEMENT APPROACH

(a) Division of structure into elements.

(b) Formation of element flexibility matrix for all elements.

(c) Formation of composite flexibility matrix by combining all elements

flexibility matrices.

(d) Formation of force transformation matrix.

(e) Formation of structure flexibility matrix.

 Δu = F11 W + F12 Wu ----------- 4
[ Wu ] = - [ F22 ]-1 [ F21 ] [ Wk ] _________ 6

Substituting values of Wu from 6 into 4

F11 - F12 F22-1 _________ 7
Δu = W

w = B2 wu

w = B 1 Wk + B 2 ----------- 10

Convert the UDL into point loads and moments.

Remove the redundant constraint at “D” and

apply redundant forces R1, R2, R3.
