MSA is used not only to derive formulations for truss, beam, and frame elements, but also to develop the overarching framework of matrix analysis. FEM builds on this foundation with numerical approximation techniques for solving boundary value problems in steady-state heat and linear elasticity. This intensive, code-centric approach actively prepares the student or practitioner to critically assess the performance of commercial analysis packages and explore advanced literature on the subject.įocused on coding, the text guides the reader from first principles to explicit algorithms. Readership: Advanced undergraduate and graduate students in civil engineering and mechanical engineering. We have used the truss element to demonstrate both how to derive a typical element stiffness equation and how to set up a general structural analysis.
