Structural Analysis-3
Basic concepts of superposition, flexibility, and work and strain energy, analysis of statically indeterminate structures such as trusses, beams, arches, and frames. Topics include determination of element stiffness matrix, transformation of coordinates, structure stiffness matrix and load vector, boundary conditions, and introduction to finite element method.
