AIM: To analyze the beam using Flexibility Matrix Method in Excel
Non-Prismatic Beam W

The above diagram can be rewritten as:

l/2 l/2
Step 1: Defining the element co-ordinates
1 2 3 4
𝛿 𝛿 𝛿 𝛿
l/2 l/2
Element 1 Element 2
l/3EI l/6EI l/6EI l/12EI
Step 2: Developing Augmented Flexibility Matrix
[𝛂]= 1 0
0 2
𝛂
for Element 1
𝛂
[ 1] = l/3EI −l/6EI
−l/6EI l/3EI
𝛂
for Element 2
[ 1] = l/6EI −l/12EI
−l/12EI l/6EI
𝛂
so,
[𝛂]= l/12EI 4 -2 0 0
-2 4 0 0

Step 3: for b W=F

we have,
[a]= [ bT ] x [𝛂] x [b]
when,
W= 1
l= 13 m
EI = 1
so,

∴ [ a ] = 68.65625
