Hence for each member, connected with two nodes, has six degrees of freedom. Hence the size
of local Stiffness Matrix for each of the members will be 6 x 6. Local stiffness matrix is
considering the local axes system (X-axis is along the direction of the member). [KL]

To write the complete stiffness matrix of the whole frame, the local stiffness
matrices of each element are to be brought on the same platform. Hence
we need to transform them in Global reference. This is accomplished using
the Transformation Matrix. [T]

 To transform Local stiffness matrix of each element into Global
reference you need to carry out the Following Matrix operations:
[KG] = [TT].[KL].[T]

EL
 Once the Global stiffness matrix of each element is obtained,

PT
each of these matrices can be assembled to obtain Global
stiffness matrix of the frame. Thus the Force-displacement

N
relationship in global reference is:
{FG} = [KG].{dG}
12 X 1 12 X 12 12 X 1
 For the given frame, the size of the Global Stiffness matrix (KG) is 12 X 12.
Sizes of {FG} is 12 X 1 and {dG} is 12 X 1. On substitution of boundary
conditions (All six displacement components for nodes 1 and 4 are zero as
those are fixed ends), the size of the Global stiffness matrix will be 6 X 6.
So the displacement components, which are to be evaluated are: 4,5,6 for

EL
Node-2 and 7,8,9 for Node-3. Displacement components 1,2,3 for Node-1
and 10,11,12 for Node-4 are zero.
