Structural Analysis CE 309

The document discusses developing a flexibility matrix for a beam with two degrees of freedom. It provides the steps to calculate the flexibility matrix, which relates displacements at different points on the beam to applied forces. The flexibility matrix for the given beam with two degrees of freedom is provided as a 2x2 matrix containing terms involving the beam's length (L), moment of inertia (EI), and other constants. The flexibility matrix allows analyzing the beam using matrix methods.
