Matrix methods in structural analysis are used for analyzing statically indeterminate structures, with specific formulas for determining the degree of statically indeterminacy for beams, frames, and trusses. Key assumptions include neglecting small deformations due to shear forces and specific internal forces depending on the type of frame. The document also outlines the symbols used for external and internal forces and displacements in beams, frames, and trusses.

Matrix Methods in Structural Analysis

These methods are used to analyze the statically


indeterminate structures.
Degree of Statically Indeterminacy (is)
Beams
Is= r – 3
r= reactions
Frames
Is= 3 m + r – 3j
m= number of members
r= reactions
j = number of joints
Trusses
Is = m + r – 2 j
m= number of members
r = reactions
Is=0 determinate
>0 indeterminate
<0 unstable
Degree of Freedom (D.O.F):

D.O.F=2 D.O.F=1 D.O.F=0


r =1 r =2 r=3
Assumptions
1/ Deformations due to the shear force
are very small and can be neglected
( 𝛿𝑦 = 0).
2/ member forces (internal forces ) are
axial force ,shear force and moments at
their ends.𝑅
𝑦1

𝑅𝑋1 𝑅𝑋2

𝑅𝑦2
𝑀1 𝑀2
3/ The shear forces can be calculated from
moments , they are independent unknowns
so they can be neglected (R y =0) .
4/ the axial force are neglected in case of
the rigged frames (beams and frames ) in
the almost methods(R X = 0) .
5/ the moments forces are neglected in case
of pinned frame ( trusses )(M=0).
Node:
it means that the ends of the members in
addition to any point in which there is
a concentrated load (moment or force) for
the rigged frames.
it means any connection in case of the
pinned frames .
