Transfor disaceents fro oca co-ordinate syste to goba co-ordinate syste. 4. Transfor forces fro oca to goba co-ordinate syste. 5. Transfor eber stiffness atrix fro oca to goba co-ordinate syste. 6. Assebe eber stiffness atrices to obtain the goba stiffness atrix. 7. Anayse ane trss by the direct stiffness atrix. 4. Introdction An introdction to the stiffness ethod was gien in the reios chater. The basic rincies inoed in the anaysis of beas, trsses were discssed. The robes were soed with hand cotation by the direct aication of the basic rincies. The rocedre discssed in the reios chater thogh enightening are not sitabe for coter rograing. It is necessary to kee hand cotation to a ini whie ieenting this rocedre on the coter. In this chater a fora aroach has been discssed which ay be readiy rograed on a coter. In this esson the direct stiffness ethod as aied to anar trss strctre is discssed. Pane trsses are ade of short thin ebers interconnected at hinges to for triangated atterns. A hinge connection can ony transit forces fro one eber to another eber bt not the oent. For anaysis rose, the trss is oaded at the joints. Hence, a trss eber is sbjected to ony axia forces and the forces reain constant aong the ength of the eber. The forces in the eber at its two ends st be of the sae agnitde bt act in the oosite directions for eqiibri as shown in Fig. 4.. Version CE IIT, Kharagr
Now consider a trss eber haing cross sectiona area A, Yong s ods of ateria E, and ength of the eber. et the eber be sbjected to axia tensie force F as shown in Fig. 4.. Under the action of constant axia force F, aied at each end, the eber gets eongated by as shown in Fig. 4.. The eongation ay be cacated by (ide esson, ode ). F (4.) Now the force-disaceent reation for the trss eber ay be written as, F (4.) Version CE IIT, Kharagr
F k (4.3) where k is the stiffness of the trss eber and is defined as the force reqired for nit deforation of the strctre. The aboe reation (4.3) is tre aong the centroida axis of the trss eber. Bt in reaity there are any ebers in a trss. For exae consider a aner trss shown in Fig. 4.3. For each eber of the trss we cod write one eqation of the tye F kaong its axia direction (which is caed as oca co-ordinate syste). Each eber has different oca co ordinate syste. To anayse the aner trss shown in Fig. 4.3, it is reqired to write force-disaceent reation for the coete trss in a co ordinate syste coon to a ebers. Sch a co-ordinate syste is referred to as goba co ordinate syste. 4. oca and Goba Co-ordinate Syste oads and disaceents are ector qantities and hence a roer coordinate syste is reqired to secify their correct sense of direction. Consider a anar trss as shown in Fig. 4.4. In this trss each node is identified by a nber and each eber is identified by a nber encosed in a circe. The disaceents and oads acting on the trss are defined with resect to goba co-ordinate syste xyz. The sae co ordinate syste is sed to define each of the oads and disaceents of a oads. In a goba co-ordinate syste, each node of a aner trss can hae ony two disaceents: one aong x -axis and another aong y - axis. The trss shown in figre has eight disaceents. Each disaceent Version CE IIT, Kharagr
(degree of freedo) in a trss is shown by a nber in the figre at the joint. The direction of the disaceents is shown by an arrow at the node. Howeer ot of eight disaceents, fie are nknown. The disaceents indicated by nbers 6,7 and 8 are zero de to sort conditions. The disaceents denoted by nbers -5 are known as nconstrained degrees of freedo of the trss and disaceents denoted by 6-8 reresent constrained degrees of freedo. In this corse, nknown disaceents are denoted by ower nbers and the known disaceents are denoted by higher code nbers. To anayse the trss shown in Fig. 4.4, the strctra stiffness atrix K need to be eaated for the gien trss. This ay be achieed by sitaby adding a the eber stiffness atrices k', which is sed to exress the force-disaceent reation of the eber in oca co-ordinate syste. Since a ebers are oriented at different directions, it is reqired to transfor eber disaceents and forces fro the oca co-ordinate syste to goba co-ordinate syste so that a goba oad-disaceent reation ay be written for the coete trss. 4.3 Meber Stiffness Matrix Consider a eber of the trss as shown in Fig. 4.5a in oca co-ordinate syste x' y'. As the oads are aied aong the centroida axis, ony ossibe disaceents wi be aong x' -axis. et the ' and ' be the disaceents of trss ebers in oca co-ordinate syste i.e. aong x' -axis. Here sbscrit refers to node of the trss eber and sbscrit refers to node of the trss eber. Gie disaceent ' at node of the eber in the ositie x' direction, keeing a other disaceents to zero. This disaceent in trn Version CE IIT, Kharagr
indces a coressie force of agnitde ' in the eber. Ths, q ' ' and q' ' (4.4a) ( e as it acts in the e direction for eqiibri). Siiary by giing ositie disaceents of ' at end of the eber, tensie force of agnitde ' is indced in the eber. Ths, q" ' and q " ' (4.4b) Now the forces deeoed at the ends of the eber when both the disaceents are iosed at nodes and resectiey ay be obtained by ethod of serosition. Ths (ide Fig. 4.5d) (4.5a) ' ' ' ' ' ' (4.5b) Or we can write Version CE IIT, Kharagr

This wi generate the first con of stiffness atrix. Siiary the second con of stiffness atrix is obtained by giing nit disaceent at and hoding disaceent at node to zero and cacating the forces deeoed at both ends. 4.4 Transforation fro oca to Goba Co-ordinate Syste.

Ths,, and, are the noda disaceents at nodes and resectiey aong x - and y - directions. et the trss eber be incined to x axis by θ as shown in figre. It is obsered fro the figre that ' is eqa to the rojection of on x' axis s rojection of on x' -axis. Ths, (ide Fig. 4.7) This ay be written as cosθ + (4.8a) ' cosθ + (4.8b) ' ' ' cosθ cosθ (4.9) Introdcing direction cosines cosθ ; ; the aboe eqation is written as Version CE IIT, Kharagr

Referring to fig. 4.9c, the reation between and, ay be written as, ' ' cosθ (4.a) ' (4.b) Siiary referring to Fig. 4.9d, yieds 3 ' cosθ (4.c) 4 ' (4.d) Now the reation between forces in the goba and oca co-ordinate syste ay be written as 3 4 cosθ ' cosθ ' (4.3) T { } [ T ] { ' } (4.4) where atrix { } stands for goba coonents of force and atrix{ ' } are the coonents of forces in the oca co-ordinate syste. The serscrit T stands for the transose of the atrix. The eqation (4.4) transfors the forces in the oca co-ordinate syste to the forces in goba co-ordinate syste. This is accoished by force transforation atrix[ T ] T. Force transforation atrix is the transose of disaceent transforation atrix.

We obtained the eber stiffness atrix in the goba co-ordinates by transforing the eber stiffness atrix in the oca co-ordinates. The eber stiffness atrix in goba co-ordinates can aso be deried fro basic rincies in a direct ethod. Now gie a nit disaceent aong x -direction at node of the trss eber. De to this nit disaceent (see Fig. 4.) the eber ength gets changed in the axia direction by an aont eqa to Δ cos θ.

Siiary for eber, the nodes and are referred by nodes 3 and 4 in the trss. The eber stiffness atrix is of the order 4 4. Howeer the trss has six ossibe disaceents and hence trss stiffness atrix is of the order 6 6. Now it is reqired to t eeents of the eber stiffness atrix of the entire trss. The stiffness atrix of the entire trss is known as assebed stiffness atrix. It is aso known as strctre stiffness atrix; as oera stiffness atrix. Ths, it is cear that by agebraicay adding the aboe two stiffness atrix we get goba stiffness atrix. For exae the eeent k of the eber stiffness atrix of eber st go to ocation ( 3, 3) in the goba stiffness atrix. Siiary k st go to ocation ( 3, 3) in the goba stiffness atrix.
