 Matrix Analysis of Structures
Why it is important to study the Matrix Analysis of Structures?
❑ In most design offices today, the analysis of framed structures is routinely
performed on computers, using software based on the matrix methods of
structural analysis
❑ It is therefore essential that structural engineers understand the basic principles of
matrix analysis
❑ To develop their own computer programs and/or properly use commercially
available software—and appreciate the physical significance of the analytical
results.

Course Objective
❑ To present the theory and computer implementation of matrix methods for the
analysis of framed structures in static equilibrium

 Analysis and Design of Structures
Structural Structural
Analysis Design
❑ The process of predicting the performance ❑ The process to find out the safe, durable
of a given structure under a prescribed and economical specifications of the
loading condition structure to carry loads of structure during
the life period of the structure is known as
❑ Involves its study from the viewpoint of its
structural design
strength, stiffness, stability, and vibration
and response of all elements ❑ Involves its study from the viewpoint of its
serviceability, safety, and durability
❑ Response means to find out support
reactions, shear forces, bending moment, ❑ It is process to find out geometry, size and
torsion, deflection, stress, strains etc. shape of all the members of structure
❑ The geometry is assumed to find out ❑ For given loading, geometry is checked,
reactions assured and ascertained
❑ There is only one specific solution, once ❑ There can be many possible solutions, with
system is frozen variation in materials and its properties

 Constitutive Relations
❑ Describe the relationships between the stresses and strains of a structure in
accordance with the stress-strain properties of the structural material
❑ Provide the link between the equilibrium equations and compatibility conditions
that is necessary to establish the load-deformation relationships for a structure
or a member

For an indeterminate structure

It becomes necessary to satisfy simultaneously the three types of fundamental
relationships (i.e., equilibrium, compatibility, and constitutive relations) to
determine the structural response

Matrix methods of structural analysis are usually formulated

by direct application of the three fundamental relationships

 Local Coordinate System
Local Coordinate System
It is defined for each member of the structure for the convenience of deriving the
basic member force-displacement relationships 𝑌

The origin of the local xyz coordinate system for a 3 4
member may be arbitrarily located at one of the
ends of the member in its undeformed state, with
the x-axis directed along the member’s centroidal
axis in the undeformed state. The positive direction 3 4
of the y-axis is defined so that the coordinate
system is right-handed, with the local z axis pointing
in the positive direction of the global Z axis. 𝑥3 𝑦1 𝑥6 𝑥4

Definition
It is the minimum number of independent displacement quantities that are
required to specify the configuration or position of a system at any time
