Presentation On Matrix Method For Structure Analysis
Presentation On Matrix Method For Structure Analysis
The “direct method” has been chosen in this paper to analyze the
geometrical nonlinear behavior of a structure.
[ks]=[k₀]+[k₁]+[k₂]
Since [k₁] and [k₂] are function of unknown displacement, a straight
iteration procedure is used to solve above equation for the displacement
[Df] corresponding to a given load[Fa].
VALIDATION TEST
To check the competency of the present method, the Wiliam’s frame has
been used as a validation test. The result of the presented method in this
paper compared by the result of common finite element procedures and
the analytical solution by wiliam’s frame.
SUMMARY OF STRENGTH
The coordinate system used in the paper is defined in Fig. 1, together with
the definition for the positive directions of nodal forces and displacements.
The state vector which is a combination of the force vector
F={NxQyQzMxMyMz }and displacement vector = {uvwuxuyuz }is given by
S = {Nx Qy Qz Mx My Mz u v w ux uy uz }T
TRANSFER OF STATE FACTOR
The strain-displacement relation for a three-dimensional 3D member is
given by
Where, γxy and γxz = shear strains in the x-y plane and x-z plane,
respectively; kx = rate of the change of twist; and ky and kz = curvatures in
the x-y plane and x-z plane, respectively.
The force-strain relation for a 3D member is given by
where EA, GA /μ , and GJ = axial stiffness, the shear stiffness, and the
torsional stiffness
Consider a beam with its centroidal axis coinciding with the x axis of the
local coordinate system and with its left end located at the origin.
Where,
f = {qx qy qz mx my mz 0 0 0 0 0 0 }T
The same positive directions are used for the distributed forces & moments
solving above equation we get
Here the author has compared the transfer matrix method with virtual work
method, but has not compared to the software result. With the help of the
software result we can compare results precisely.
FURTHER RESEARCH
For further research on this topic we can compare result of transfer matrix
method to software result.
Furthermore, we can check that transfer matrix method is effective for
other structural member.
