METHOD OF ANALYSIS
FORCE (FLEXIBILITY) METHODS DISPLACEMENT (STIFFNESS) METHODS
FORCE METHOD
Small structures with few redundants Used to derive the member force-deformation relations to develop the displacement method
DISPLACEMENT METHOD
More systematic Can be easily implemented on computers
a. draw a diagram of the primary structure with only the external loading applied to it. b. draw a diagram of the primary structure with only the unit value of the redundant applied to it. Write the compatibility equation by setting the algebraic sum of the deflection of the primary structure at the location of the redundant due to the external loading and the equal to the given displacement (or rotation) of the redundant support of the actual indeterminate structure. (the algebraic sum of deflections due to the external loading and the redundant can be simply set equal to zero). Compute the deflection of the primary structure at the location of the redundant due to the external loading and due to the unit value of the redundant.
Once the reactions have been evaluated, the other response characteristics of the indeterminate structure can be determined. Either through equilibrium or by superposition of the responses of the primary structure due to external loading and due to the redundant.
