Why Matrix Structural Analysis?

In most Civil engineering curriculum, students are required to take courses in: Statics, Strength of Materials, Basic Structural Analysis. This last course is a fundamental one which introduces basic structural analysis (determination of reactions, deections, and internal forces) of both statically determinate and indeterminate structures. Also Energy methods are introduced, and most if not all examples are two dimensional. Since the emphasis is on hand solution, very seldom are three dimensional structures analyzed. The methods covered, for the most part lend themselves for back of the envelope solutions and not necessarily for computer implementation. Those students who want to pursue a specialization in structural engineering/mechanics, do take more advanced courses such as Matrix Structural Analysis and/or Finite Element Analysis. Matrix Structural Analysis, or Advanced Structural Analysis, or Introduction to Structural Engineering Finite Element, builds on the introductory analysis course to focus on those methods which lend themselves to computer implementation. In doing so, we will place equal emphasis on both two and three dimensional structures, and develop a thorough understanding of computer aided analysis of structures. This is essential, as in practice most, if not all, structural analysis are done by the computer and it is imperative that as structural engineers you understand what is inside those black boxes, develop enough self assurance to be capable of opening them and modify them to perform certain specic tasks, and most importantly to understand their limitations. With the recently placed emphasis on the nite element method in most graduate schools, many students have been tempted to skip a course such as this one and rush into a nite element one. Hence it is important that you understand the connection and role of those two courses. The Finite Element Method addresses the analysis of two or three dimensional continuum. As such, the primary unknowns is u the nodal displacements, and internal forces are usually

INTRODUCTION

restricted to stress . The only analogous one dimensional structure is the truss. Whereas two and three dimensional continuum are essential in civil engineering to model structures such as dams, shells, and foundation, the majority of Civil engineering structures are constituted by rod one-dimensional elements such as beams, girders, or columns. For those elements, displacements and internal forces are somehow more complex than those encountered in continuum nite elements. Hence, contrarily to continuum nite element where displacement is mostly synonymous with translation, in one dimensional elements, and depending on the type of structure, generalized displacements may include translation, and/or exural and/or torsional rotation. Similarly, internal forces are not stresses, but rather axial and shear forces, and/or exural or torsional moments. Those concepts are far more relevant in the analysis/design of most civil engineering structures. Hence, Matrix Structural Analysis, is truly a bridge course between introductory analysis and nite element courses. The element stiness matrix [k] will rst be derived using methods introduced in basic structural analysis, and later using energy based concepts. This later approach is the one exclusively used in the nite element method.

An important component of this course is computer programing. Once the theory and the algorithms are thoroughly explained, you will be expected to program them in either Fortran (preferably 90) or C (sorry, but no Basic) on the computer of your choice. The program (typically about 3,500 lines) will perform the analysis of 2 and 3 dimensional truss and frame structures, and many students have subsequently used it in their professional activities.
10

There will be one computer assignment in which you will be expected to perform simple symbolic manipulations using Mathematica. For those of you unfamiliar with the Bechtel Laboratory, there will be a special session to introduce you to the operation of Unix on Sun workstations.

Structural design must satisfy: 1. Strength ( < f ) 2. Stiness (small deformations) 3. Stability (buckling, cracking)

Structural analysis must satisfy 1. Statics (equilibrium) 2. Mechanics (stress-strain or force displacement relations) 3. Kinematics (compatibility of displacement)

Structural Idealization

15 Prior to analysis, a structure must be idealized for a suitable mathematical representation. Since it is practically impossible (and most often unnecessary) to model every single detail, assumptions must be made. Hence, structural idealization is as much an art as a science. Some of the questions confronting the analyst include:

1. Two dimensional versus three dimensional; Should we model a single bay of a building, or the entire structure? 2. Frame or truss, can we neglect exural stiness? 3. Rigid or semi-rigid connections (most important in steel structures) 4. Rigid supports or elastic foundations (are the foundations over solid rock, or over clay which may consolidate over time) 5. Include or not secondary members (such as diagonal braces in a three dimensional analysis). 6. Include or not axial deformation (can we neglect the axial stiness of a beam in a building?) 7. Cross sectional properties (what is the moment of inertia of a reinforced concrete beam?) 8. Neglect or not haunches (those are usually present in zones of high negative moments) 9. Linear or nonlinear analysis (linear analysis can not predict the peak or failure load, and will underestimate the deformations). 10. Small or large deformations (In the analysis of a high rise building subjected to wind load, the moments should be amplied by the product of the axial load times the lateral deformation, P eects). 11. Time dependent eects (such as creep, which is extremely important in prestressed concrete, or cable stayed concrete bridges). 12. Partial collapse or local yielding (would the failure of a single element trigger the failure of the entire structure?). 13. Load static or dynamic (when should a dynamic analysis be performed?). 14. Wind load (the lateral drift of a high rise building subjected to wind load, is often the major limitation to higher structures). 15. Thermal load (can induce large displacements, specially when a thermal gradient is present.). 16. Secondary stresses (caused by welding. Present in most statically indeterminate structures).

1.3 Structural Idealization

Structural Discretization

16 Once a structure has been idealized, it must be discretized to lend itself for a mathematical representation which will be analyzed by a computer program. This discretization should uniquely dene each node, and member. 17 The node is characterized by its nodal id (node number), coordinates, boundary conditions, and load (this one is often dened separately), Table 1.1. Note that in this case we have two

Table 1.1: Example of Nodal Denition nodal coordinates, and three degrees of freedom (to be dened later) per node. Furthermore, a 0 and a 1 indicate unknown or known displacement. Known displacements can be zero (restrained) or non-zero (as caused by foundation settlement). The element is characterized by the nodes which it connects, and its group number, Table 1.2.

Group Number 1 2 2

Table 1.2: Example of Element Denition

19 Group number will then dene both element type, and elastic/geometric properties. The last one is a pointer to a separate array, Table 1.3. In this example element 1 has element code 1 (such as beam element), while element 2 has a code 2 (such as a truss element). Material group 1 would have dierent elastic/geometric properties than material group 2.

From the analysis, we rst obtain the nodal displacements, and then the element internal forces. Those internal forces vary according to the element type. For a two dimensional frame, those are the axial and shear forces, and moment at each node.
20 21

Hence, the need to dene two coordinate systems (one for the entire structure, and one for Matrix Structural Analysis

Coordinate Systems

We should dierentiate between 2 coordinate systems:

Global: to describe the structure nodal coordinates. This system can be arbitrarily selected provided it is a Right Hand Side (RHS) one, and we will associate with it upper case axis labels, X, Y, Z, Fig. 1.1 or 1,2,3 (running indeces within a computer program). Local: system is associated with each element and is used to describe the element internal forces. We will associate with it lower case axis labels, x, y, z (or 1,2,3), Fig. 1.2.
23 The x-axis is assumed to be along the member, and the direction is chosen such that it points from the 1st node to the 2nd node, Fig. 1.2. 24

Two dimensional structures will be dened in the X-Y plane.

1.3.3

Sign Convention

25 The sign convention in structural analysis is completely dierent than the one previously adopted in structural analysis/design, Fig. 1.3 (where we focused mostly on exure and dened a positive moment as one causing tension below. This would be awkward to program!). 26 In matrix structural analysis the sign convention adopted is consistent with the prevailing coordinate system. Hence, we dene a positive moment as one which is counter-clockwise, Fig. 1.3 27

Fig. 1.4 illustrates the sign convention associated with each type of element.

28 Fig. 1.4 also shows the geometric (upper left) and elastic material (upper right) properties associated with each type of element.

Degrees of Freedom

A degree of freedom (d.o.f.) is an independent generalized nodal displacement of a node.

The displacements must be linearly independent and thus not related to each other. For example, a roller support on an inclined plane would have three displacements (rotation , and two translations u and v), however since the two displacements are kinematically constrained, we only have two independent displacements, Fig. 1.5.
31 We note that we have been referring to generalized displacements, because we want this term to include translations as well as rotations. Depending on the type of structure, there may be none, one or more than one such displacement. It is unfortunate that in most introductory courses in structural analysis, too much emphasis has been placed on two dimensional structures, and not enough on either three dimensional ones, or two dimensional ones with torsion.

In most cases, there is the same number of d.o.f in local coordinates as in the global coordinate system. One notable exception is the truss element. In local coordinate we can only have one axial deformation, whereas in global coordinates there are two or three translations in 2D and 3D respectively for each node.
32 33 Hence, it is essential that we understand the degrees of freedom which can be associated with the various types of structures made up of one dimensional rod elements, Table 1.4.

Local: d.o.f. for a given element: Start with the rst node, number the local d.o.f. in the same order as the subscripts of the relevant local coordinate system, and repeat for the second node. Global: d.o.f. for the entire structure: Starting with the 1st node, number all the unrestrained global d.o.f.s, and then move to the next one until all global d.o.f have been numbered, Fig. 1.6.

ELEMENT STIFFNESS MATRIX

Introduction

In this chapter, we shall derive the element stiness matrix [k] of various one dimensional elements. Only after this important step is well understood, we could expand the theory and introduce the structure stiness matrix [K] in its global coordinate system.
2

As will be seen later, there are two fundamentally dierent approaches to derive the stiness matrix of one dimensional element. The rst one, which will be used in this chapter, is based on classical methods of structural analysis (such as moment area or virtual force method). Thus, in deriving the element stiness matrix, we will be reviewing concepts earlier seen. The other approach, based on energy consideration through the use of assumed shape functions, will be examined in chapter 11. This second approach, exclusively used in the nite element method, will also be extended to two and three dimensional continuum elements.

2.2

Inuence Coecients

4 In structural analysis an inuence coecient Cij can be dened as the eect on d.o.f. i due to a unit action at d.o.f. j for an individual element or a whole structure. Examples of Inuence Coecients are shown in Table 2.1. 5

It should be recalled that inuence lines are associated with the analysis of structures subjected to moving loads (such as bridges), and that the exibility and stiness coecients are components of matrices used in structural analysis.

Flexibility Matrix (Review)

Considering the simply supported beam shown in Fig. 2.1, and using the local coordinate system, we have 1 d11 d12 p1 = (2.1) 2 d21 d22 p2

Using the virtual work, or more specically, the virtual force method to analyze this problem, (more about energy methods in Chapter 9), we have:
l

(2.2)

M where M , EIz , P and are the virtual internal force, real internal displacement, virtual external load, and real external displacement respectively. Here, both the external virtual force and moment are usualy taken as unity.

Stiness Coecients

In the exibility method, we have applied a unit force at a time and determined all the induced displacements in the statically determinate structure. In the stiness method, we 1. Constrain all the degrees of freedom 2. Apply a unit displacement at each d.o.f. (while restraining all others to be zero) 3. Determine the reactions associated with all the d.o.f. {p} = [k]{} (2.8)

11 Hence kij will correspond to the reaction at dof i due to a unit deformation (translation or rotation) at dof j, Fig. 2.2. 12 The actual stiness coecients are shown in Fig. 2.3 for truss, beam, and grid elements in terms of elastic and geometric properties. 13

In the next sections, we shall derive those stiness coecients.

Applying the boundary conditions at x = 0 v = 1 v = v1 C1 = EI1 C2 = EIv1 (2.14)

Since equilibrium of forces and moments must be satised, we have: V1 + V2 = 0 M1 V1 L + M2 = 0 V2 = V1 (2.16)

or V1 =

Since torsional eects are seldom covered in basic structural analysis, and students may have forgotten the derivation of the basic equations from the Strength of Material course, we shall briey review them. 25 Assuming a linear elastic material, and a linear strain (and thus stress) distribution along the radius of a circular cross section subjected to torsional load, Fig. 2.5 we have:

Shear Deformation

30 In general, shear deformations are quite small. However, for beams with low span to depth ratio, those deformations can not be neglected.

Considering an innitesimal element subjected to shear, Fig. 2.6 and for linear elastic material, the shear strain (assuming small displacement, i.e. tan ) is given by

where dvs is the slope of the beam neutral axis from the horizontal while the vertical sections dx remain undeformed, G is the shear modulus, the shear stress, and vs the shear induced displacement.
32 In a beam cross section, the shear stress is not constant. For example for rectangular sections, it varies parabolically, and in I sections, the ange shear components can be neglected.

where V is the shear force, Q is the rst moment (or static moment) about the neutral axis of the portion of the cross-sectional area which is outside of the section where the shear stress is Victor Saouma Matrix Structural Analysis

The preceding equation can be simplied as = V As (2.32)

where As is the eective cross section for shear (which is the ratio of the cross sectional area to the area shear factor)
34 Let us derive the expression of As for rectangular sections. The exact expression for the shear stress is VQ (2.33) = Ib where Q is the moment of the area from the external bers to y with respect to the neutral axis; For a rectangular section, this yields

Combining Eq. 2.31 and 2.32 we obtain V dvs = dx GAs (2.36)

Assuming V to be constant, we integrate vs = V x + C1 GAs (2.37)

Next, we shall consider the eect of shear deformations on both translations and rotations

Eect on Translation Due to a unit vertical translation, the end shear force is obtained from Eq. 2.21 and setting v1 = 1 and 1 = 2 = v2 = 0, or V = 12EIz . At x = 0 we have, Fig. L3 2.7 VL vs = GAs 12EIz V = vs = (2.41) 3 L 12EI = GAs L2 Hence, the shear deformation has increased the total translation from 1 to 1 + . Similar arguments apply to the translation at the other end.

Figure 2.7: Eect of Flexure and Shear Deformation on Translation at One End Eect on Rotation Considering the beam shown in Fig. 2.8, even when a rotation 1 is applied, an internal shear force is induced, and this in turn is going to give rise to shear deformations (translation) which must be accounted for. The shear force is obtained from Eq. 2.21 and setting 1 = 1 and 2 = v1 = v2 = 0, or V = 6EIz . As before L2 vs = V = =

in other words, the shear deformation has moved the end of the beam (which was supposed to have zero translation) by 0.5L.

Putting it All Together, [k]

39 Using basic structural analysis methods we have derived various force displacement relations for axial, exural, torsional and shear imposed displacements. At this point, and keeping in mind the denition of degrees of freedom, we seek to assemble the individual element stiness matrices [k]. We shall start with the simplest one, the truss element, then consider the beam, 2D frame, grid, and nally the 3D frame element.

In each case, a table will cross-reference the force displacement relations, and then the element stiness matrix will be accordingly dened.

45 If shear deformations are present, we need to alter the stiness matrix given in Eq. 2.45 in the following manner

1. Due to translation, we must divide (or normalize) the coecients of the rst and third columns of the stiness matrix by 1 + so that the net translation at both ends is unity. 2. Due to rotation and the eect of shear deformation (a) The forces induced at the ends due to a unit rotation at end 1 (second column) neglecting shear deformations are V1 = V2 = M1 = M2 = 6EI L2 4EI L 2EI L (2.46-a) (2.46-b) (2.46-c)

(b) There is a net positive translation of 0.5L at end 1 when we applied a unit rotation (this parasitic translation is caused by the shear deformation) but no additional forces are induced. Victor Saouma Matrix Structural Analysis

(c) When we apply a unit rotation, all other displacements should be zero. Hence, we should counteract this parasitic shear deformation by an equal and opposite one.

Remarks on Element Stiness Matrices

Singularity: All the derived stiness matrices are singular, that is there is at least one row and one column which is a linear combination of others. For example in the beam element, row 4 = row 1; and L times row 2 is equal to the sum of row 3 and 6. This singularity (not present in the exibility matrix) is caused by the linear relations introduced by the equilibrium equations which are embedded in the formulation. Symmetry: All matrices are symmetric due to Maxwell-Bettis reciprocal theorem, and the stiness exibility relation.

Introduction

In the previous chapter we have rst derived displacement force relations for dierent types of rod elements, and then used those relations to dene element stiness matrices in local coordinates. In this chapter, we seek to perform similar operations, but for an orthogonal structure in global coordinates. In the previous chapter our starting point was basic displacement-force relations resulting in element stiness matrices [k].

4 In this chapter, our starting point are those same element stiness matrices [k], and our objective is to determine the structure stiness matrix [K], which when inverted, would yield the nodal displacements. 5 6

The element stiness matrices were derived for fully restrained elements.

This chapter will be restricted to orthogonal structures, and generalization will be discussed later. The stiness matrices will be restricted to the unrestrained degrees of freedom. From these examples, the interrelationships between structure stiness matrix, nodal displacements, and xed end actions will become apparent. Then the method will be generalized in chapter 5 to describe an algorithm which can automate the assembly of the structure global stiness matrix in terms of the one of its individual elements.

The Stiness Method

As a vehicle for the introduction to the stiness method let us consider the problem in Fig 3.1-a, and recognize that there are only two unknown displacements, or more precisely, two global d.o.f: 1 and 2 . If we were to analyse this problem by the force (or exibility) method, then 1. We make the structure statically determinate by removing arbitrarily two reactions (as long as the structure remains stable), and the beam is now statically determinate. 2. Assuming that we remove the two roller supports, then we determine the corresponding deections due to the actual laod (B and C ). 3. Apply a unit load at point B, and then C, and compute the deections fij at note i due to a unit force at node j. 4. Write the compatibility of displacement equation fBB fBC fCB fCC RB RC 1 2 = 0 0 (3.1)

5. Invert the matrix, and solve for the reactions

We will analyze this simple problem by the stiness method. 1. The rst step consists in making it kinematically determinate (as opposed to statically determinate in the exibility method). Kinematically determinate in this case simply means restraining all the d.o.f. and thus prevent joint rotation, Fig 3.1-b. 2. We then determine the xed end actions caused by the element load, and sum them for each d.o.f., Fig 3.1-c: FEM1 and FEM2 . 3. In the third step, we will apply a unit displacement (rotation in this case) at each degree of freedom at a time, and in each case we shall determine the reaction forces, K11 , K21 , and K12 , K22 respectively. Note that we use [K], rather than k since those are forces in the global coordinate system, Fig 3.1-d. Again note that we are focusing only on the reaction forces corresponding to a global degree of freedom. Hence, we are not attempting to determine the reaction at node A. 4. Finally, we write the equation of equilibrium at each node: M1 M2 = FEM1 FEM2 + K11 K12 K21 K22 1 2 (3.2)

11 Note that the FEM being on the right hand side, they are detemined as the reactions to the applied load. Strictly speaking, it is a load which should appear on the left hand side of the equation, and are the nodal equivalent loads to the element load (more about this later). 12 As with the element stiness matrix, each entry in the global stiness matrix Kij , corresponds to the internal force along d.o.f. i due to a unit displacement (generalized) along d.o.f. j (both in global coordinate systems).

Examples

Example 3-1: Beam Considering the previous problem, Fig. 3.1-a, let P1 = 2P , M = P L, P2 = P , and P3 = P , Solve for the displacements. Solution: 1. Using the previously dened sign convention: FEM1 = PL P1 L P2 L 2P L P L + = + = 8 8 8 8 8

AB BC 2. If it takes 4EI (k44 ) to rotate AB (Eq. 2.45) and 4EI (k22 ) to rotate BC, it will take a L L total force of 8EI to simultaneously rotate AB and BC, (Note that a rigid joint is assumed). L 3. Hence, K11 which is the sum of the rotational stinesses at global d.o.f. 1. will be equal to BC K11 = 8EI ; similarly, K21 = 2EI (k42 ) . L L BC 4. If we now rotate dof 2 by a unit angle, then we will have K22 = 4EI (k22 ) and K12 = 2EI L L BC (k42 ) . 5. The equilibrium relation can thus be written as:

11. This simple example calls for the following observations: 1. Node A has contributions from element AB only, while node B has contributions from both AB and BC. 12. We observe that pAB = pBC eventhough they both correspond to a shear force at 3 1 node B, the dierence betweeen them is equal to the reaction at B. Similarly, pAB = pBC 4 2 due to the externally applied moment at node B. 2. From this analysis, we can draw the complete free body diagram, Fig. 3.1-e and then the shear and moment diagrams which is what the Engineer is most interested in for design purposes.

On the basis of these two illustrative examples we note that the global structure equilibrium equation can be written as {P} = {FEA} + [K]{} (3.29) where [K] is the global structure stiness matrix (in terms of the unrestrained d.o.f.) {P} the vector containing both the nodal load and the nodal equivalent load caused by element loading, {} is the vector of generalized nodal displacements.
14 Whereas the preceding two examples were quite simple to analyze, we seek to generalize the method to handle any arbitrary structure. As such, some of the questions which arise are:

1. How do we determine the element stiness matrix in global coordinate systems, [Ke ], from the element stiness matrix in local coordinate system [ke ]? 2. How to assemble the structure [KS ] from each element [KE ]? 3. How to determine the {FEA} or the nodal equivalent load for an element load? 4. How to determine the local nodal displacements from the global ones? 5. How do we compute reactions in the restrained d.o.f? 6. How can we determine the internal element forces (P , V , M , and T )? 7. How do we account for temperature, initial displacements or prestrain? Those questions, and others, will be addressed in the next chapters which will outline the general algorithm for the direct stiness method.

2 D cases
2D Frame, and Grid Element

20 The vector rotation matrix [] is identical for both 2D frame and grid elements, Fig. 4.3, and 4.4 respectively.

From Eq. 4.10 the vector rotation matrix is dened in terms of 9 direction cosines of 9 dierent angles. However for the 2D case, we will note that four angles are interrelated (lxX , lxY , lyX , lyY ) and can all be expressed in terms of a single one , where is the direction of the local x axis (along the member from the rst to the second node) with respect to the global X axis. The remaining 5 terms are related to another angle, , which is between the Z axis and the x-y plane. This angle is zero because we select an orthogonal right handed coordinate system. Thus, the rotation matrix can be written as:
21

lxX [] = lyX lzX

lxY lyY lzY

lxZ cos cos( ) 0 cos sin 0 2 lyZ = cos( 2 + ) cos 0 = sin cos 0 (4.28) lzZ 0 0 1 0 0 1

and we observe that the angles are dened from the second subscript to the rst, and that counterclockwise angles are positive. Victor Saouma Matrix Structural Analysis

then recalling the denition of the direction cosines it should be apparent that the evaluation of the rst row, only, is quite simple. However evaluation of the other two is more complex.
26 This generalized transformation from X, Y, Z to x, y, z was accomplished in one step in the two dimensional case, but intermediary ones will have to be dened in the 3D case.

Starting with a reference (X1 , Y1 , Z1 ) coordinate system which corresponds to the global coordinate system, we can dene another one, X2 , Y2 , Z2 , such that X2 is aligned along the element, Fig. ??.
28 In the 2D case this was accomplished through one single rotation , and all other angles where dened in terms of it. 29 In the 3D case, it will take a minimum of two rotations and , and possibly a third one (dierent than the one in 2D) to achieve this transformation.

We can start with the rst row of the transformation matrix which corresponds to the direction cosines of the reference axis (X1 , Y1 , Z1 ) with respect to X2 . This will dene the rst row of the vector rotation matrix []:

Note that this does not uniquely dene the new coordinate system. This will be done in two ways: a simple and a general one. 4.2.2.1 Simple 3D Case

32 We start by looking at a simplied case, Fig. 4.6, one in which Z2 is assumed to be horizontal in the X1 Z1 plane, this will also dene Y2 . We note that there will be no ambiguity unless the member is vertical. 33

This transformation can be used if: 1. The principal axis of the cross section lie in the horizontal and vertical plane (i.e the web of an I Beam in the vertical plane). 2. If the member has 2 axis of symmetry in the cross section and same moment of inertia about each one of them (i.e circular or square cross section).

The last two rows of Eq. 4.32 can be determined through two successive rotations (assuming that (X1 , Y1 , Z1 and X2 , Y2 , Z2 are originally coincident):

Introduction

The direct stiness method, covered in Advanced Structural Analysis is briey reviewed in this lecture. A slightly dierent algorithm will be used for the assembly of the global stiness matrix.

Preliminaries: First we shall 1. Identify type of structure (Plane stress/strain/Axisymmetric/Plate/Shell/3D) and determine the (a) Number of spatial coordinates (1D, 2D, or 3D) (b) Number of degree of freedom per node (c) Number of material properties 2. Determine the global unrestrained degree of freedom equation numbers for each node, to be stored in the [ID] matrix. Analysis : 1. For each element, determine (a) Vector LM relating local to global degree of freedoms. (b) Element stiness matrix [Ke ]. This may require a numerical integration 2. Assemble the structure stiness matrix [KS ] of unconstrained degree of freedoms. 3. Decompose [KS ] into [KS ] = [L][L]T where [L] is a lower triangle matrix1 . 4. For traction, body forces, determine the nodal equivalent load. 5. Assemble load vector {P}

6. Backsubstitute and obtain nodal displacements 7. For each element, determine strain and stresses. 8. For each restrained degree of freedom compute its reaction from # of elem. [Ki ]{} {R} = i=1 Some of the prescribed steps are further discussed in the next sections.

[ID] Matrix

Because of the boundary condition restraints, the total structure number of active degrees of freedom (i.e unconstrained) will be less than the number of nodes times the number of degrees of freedom per node.

5 To obtain the global degree of freedom for a given node, we need to dene an [ID] matrix such that:

ID has dimensions l k where l is the number of degree of freedom per node, and k is the number of nodes). ID matrix is initialized to zero. 1. At input stage read ID(idof,inod) of each degree of freedom for every node such that: ID(idof, inod) = 0 1 if unrestrained d.o.f. if restrained d.o.f. (5.1)

2. After all the node boundary conditions have been read, assign incrementally equation numbers (a) First to all the active dof (b) Then to the other (restrained) dof. (c) Multiply by -1 all the passive dof. Note that the total number of dof will be equal to the number of nodes times the number of dof/node NEQA. 3. The largest positive global degree of freedom number will be equal to NEQ (Number Of Equations), which is the size of the square matrix which will have to be decomposed.

Assembly of Global Stiness Matrix

8 As for the element stiness matrix, the global stiness matrix [K] is such that Kij is the force in degree of freedom i caused by a unit displacement at degree of freedom j.

For each Kij term, we shall add the contribution of all the elements which can connect degree of freedom i to degree of freedom j, assuming that those forces are readily available from the individual element stiness matrices written in global coordinate system.
10

Kij is non-zero if and only if degree of freedom i and degree of freedom j are connected by an element or share a node.
11 12 There are usually more than one element connected to a dof. Hence, individual element stiness matrices terms must be added up.

STIFFNESS METHOD; Part II

13 Because each term of all the element stiness matrices must nd its position inside the global stiness matrix [K], it is found computationally most eective to initialize the global stiness matrix [KS ]N EQAN EQA to zero, and then loop through all the elements, and then through e each entry of the respective element stiness matrix Kij .

e The assignment of the element stiness matrix term Kij (note that e, i, and j are all known since we are looping on e from 1 to the number of elements, and then looping on the rows and S columns of the element stiness matrix i, j) into the global stiness matrix Kkl is made through the LM vector (note that it is k and l which must be determined).
15 Since the global stiness matrix is also symmetric, we would need to only assemble one side of it, usually the upper one. 16 17

Contrarily to Matrix Structural Analysis, we will assemble the full augmented stiness matrix. The algorithm for this assembly is illustrated in Fig. 5.2.

Example 5-1: Global Stiness Matrix Assembly Assemble the global stiness matrix in terms of element 2 and 3 of the example problem shown in Fig. 5.1.

From this example problem, we note that: 1. Many entries in the global stiness matrix are left as zero, because they correspond to unconnected degrees of freedom (such as K4,6 ). 2. All entries in the element stiness matrix do nd a storage space in the global stiness matrix.

Skyline Storage of Global Stiness Matrix, MAXA Vector

The stiness matrix of a structure will be a square matrix of dimension NEQxNEQ.

20 We rst observe that the matrix is symmetric, thus only the upper half needs to be stored. Furthermore, we observe that this matrix has a certain bandwidth, BW, dened as | Kij Kii |max , when Kij = 0, Fig. 5.3. 21 Thus, we could as a rst space saving solution store the global stiness matrix inside a rectangular matrix of length NEQ and width BW, which can be obtained from the LM vector (largest dierence of terms of LM for all the elements).

It is evident that numbering of nodes is extremely important as it controls the size of the bandwidth, and hence the storage requirement, Fig. 5.4. In this context, we observe that the stiness matrix really has a variable bandwidth, or variable skyline. Hence if we want to store only those entries below the skyline inside a vector rather than a matrix for maximum storage eciency, then we shall dene a vector MAXA which provides the address of the diagonal terms.

Thus, to locate an element within the stiness matrix, we use the following formula: Kij = MAXA(j) + (j i) if i j (since we are storing only the upper half).
24

(5.4)

Using this formula, we will have: K58 = MAXA(8) + (8 5) = 18 + 3 = 21 K42 = MAXA(4) + (4 2) = 6 + 2 = 8 (5.5) (5.6)

25 We should note that the total number of non-zero entries inside the global stiness matrix is always the same, irrespective of our numbering scheme. However by properly numbering the nodes, we can minimize the number of zero terms2 which would fall below the skyline and which storage would be ineective. 2 As we shall see later, all the terms below the skyline (including the zeros) must be stored. Following matrix decomposition, all zero terms outside the skyline terms remain zero, and all others are altered.

Augmented Stiness Matrix

Previous exposure to the Direct Stiness Method is assumed.

27 We can conceptually partition the global stiness matrix into two groups with respective subscript u over u where the displacements are known (zero or otherwise), and t where the tractions are known. Pt Ktt Ktu t ? = Ru ? Kut Kuu u

The rst equation enables the calculation of the unknown displacements on t t = K1 (Pt Ktu u ) tt (5.7)

The second equation enables the calculation of the reactions on u Rt = Kut t + Kuu u (5.8)

30 For internal book-keeping purpose, since we are assembling the augmented stiness matrix, we proceed in two stages:

1. First number all the unrestrained degrees of freedom, i.e. those on t . 2. Then number all the degrees of freedom with known displacements, on u , and multiply by -1.

Let us simplfy the operation by designating the element stiness matrices in global coordinates as follows: 4 4 A11 5 A21 6 A31 1 A41 2 A51 3 A61

K (1) =

5 A12 A22 A32 A42 A52 A62 2 B12 B22 B32 B42 B52 B62

(5.13-a)

K (2) =

1 1 B11 2 B21 3 B31 7 B41 8 B51 9 B61

(5.13-b)

We note that for each element we have shown the corresponding LM vector. Now, we assemble the global stiness matrix
K=

B16 B26 B36 0 0 0 B46 B56 B66

(5.14)

We note that some terms are equal to zero because we do not have a connection between the corresponding degrees of freedom (i.e. node 1 is not connected to node 3). Example 5-4: Analysis of a Frame with MATLAB The simple frame shown in Fig. 5.8 is to be analysed by the direct stiness method. Assume: E = 200, 000 MPa, A = 6, 000 mm2 , and I = 200 106 mm4 . The complete MATLAB solution is shown below along with the results.

Assembly

Since a skyline solver will be used, we rst need to determine the appropriate pointers which will enable us to eciently store the global stiness matrix ({MAXA}). This is accomplished as follows, Fig. 5.11: 1. Determine the maximum height of the skyline for each column of the global stiness matrix by rst assigning a very large number to each row of {MAXA}, and then looping through each element, and for each one: (a) Determine the lowest associated global degree of freedom number (from the {LM} vectors) (b) Compare this height with the one currently associated with those degree of freedom stored in the element {LM}; if lower overwrite 2. Determine the total height of each skyline (i.e. each column) by determining the dierence between MAXA (IEQ) (Skyline elevation), and IEQ (BottomLine). Overwrite MAXA with this height. 3. Determine the total length of the vector storing the compacted structure global stiness matrix by summing up the height of each skyline 4. Assign to MAXA(NEQ+1) this total length +1. 5. Loop backward from the last column to the rst, and for each one determine the address of the diagonal term from MAXA(IEQ) = MAXA(IEQ + 1) MAXA(IEQ) Once the MAXA vector has been determine, then term K(i, j) in the square matrix, would be stored in KK(MAXA(j)+j-i) (assuming j > i) in the compacted form of {K}.

The assembly of the global stiness matrix is next described, Fig. 5.12: 1. Initialize the vector storing the compacted stiness matrix to zero. 2. Loop through each element, e, and for each element: (a) Retrieve its stiness matrix (in local coordinates) [ke ], and direction cosines. (b) Determine the rotation matrix [] of the element. (c) Compute the element stiness matrix in global coordinates from [bK e ] = []T [ke ][]. (d) Dene the {LM} array of the element (e) Loop through each row and column of the element stiness matrix, and for those degree of freedom not equal to zero, add the contributions of the element to the structures stiness matrix (note that we assemble only the upper half). K S [LM (i), LM (j)] = K S [LM (i), LM (j)] + K e [i, j] (5.15)

Decomposition

38 Decompose the global stiness matrix. Since the matrix is both symmetric and positive denite, the matrix can be decomposed using Choleskys method into: [K] = [L][L]T . Should a division by zero occur, or an attempt to extract the square root of a negative number happen, then this would be an indication that either the global stiness matrix is not properly assembled, or that there are not enough restraint to prevent rigid body translation or rotation of the structure.

5.7.5
39

Load

Once the stiness matrix has been decomposed, than the main program should loop through each load case and, Fig. 5.13 1. Initialize the load vector (of length NEQ) to zero. 2. Read number of loaded nodes. For each loaded node store the non-zero values inside the load vector (using the [ID] matrix for determining storage location). 3. Loop on all loaded elements: (a) Read element number, and load value (b) Compute the xed end actions and rotate them from local to global coordinates. (c) Using the LM vector, add the xed end actions to the nodal load vector (unless the corresponding equation number is zero, ie. restrained degree of freedom). (d) Store the xed end actions for future use.

5.7.6
40

Backsubstitution

Backsubstitution is achieved by multiplying the decomposed stiness matrix with the load vector. The resulting vector stores the nodal displacements, in global coordinate system, corresponding to the unrestrained degree of freedom.

Internal Forces and Reactions

The internal forces for each element, and reactions at each restrained degree of freedom, are determined by, Fig. 5.15 1. Initialize reactions to zero 2. For each element retrieve: (a) nodal coordinates Victor Saouma Matrix Structural Analysis

Computer Implementation with MATLAB

42 You will be required, as part of your term project, to write a simple MATLAB (or whatever other language you choose) program for the analysis of two dimensional frames with nodal load and initial displacement, as well as element load. 43 To facilitate the task, your instructor has taken the liberty of taking a program written by Mr. Dean Frank (as part of his term project with this instructor in the Advanced Structural Analysis course, Fall 1995), modied it with the aid of Mr. Pawel Smolarki, and is making available most, but not all of it to you. Hence, you will be expected to rst familiarize yourself with the code made available to you, and then complete it by essentially lling up the missing parts.

5.8.1

Program Input

From Dean Franks Users Manual

44 It is essential that the structure be idealized such that it can be discretized. This discretization should dene each node and element uniquely. In order to decrease the required amount of computer storage and computation it is best to number the nodes in a manner that minimizes the numerical separation of the node numbers on each element. For instance, an element connecting nodes 1 and 4, could be better dened by nodes 1 and 2, and so on. As it was noted previously, the user is required to have a decent understanding of structural analysis and structural mechanics. As such, it will be necessary for the user to generate or modify an input le input.m using the following directions. Open the le called input.m and set the existing variables in the le to the appropriate values. The input le has additional helpful directions given as comments for each variable. After setting the variables to the correct values, be sure to save the le. Please note that the program is case-sensitive.

45 In order for the program to be run, the user must supply the required data by setting certain variables in the le called indat.m equal to the appropriate values. All the user has to do is open the text le called indat.txt, ll in the required values and save the le as indat.m in a directory within MATABs path. There are helpful hints within this le. It is especially important that the user keep track of units for all of the variables in the input data le. All of the units MUST be consistent. It is suggested that one always use the same units for all problems. For example, always use kips and inches, or kilonewtons and millimeters.

5.8.1.1

Input Variable Descriptions

A brief description of each of the variables to be used in the input le is given below: npoin This variable should be set equal to the number of nodes that comprise the structure. A node is dened as any point where two or more elements are joined. nelem This variable should be set equal to the number of elements in the structure. Elements are the members which span between nodes. istrtp This variable should be set equal to the type of structure. There are six types of structures which this program will analyze: beams, 2-D trusses, 2-D frames, grids, 3-D trusses, and 3-D frames. Set this to 1 for beams, 2 for 2D-trusses, 3 for 2D- frames, 4 for grids, 5 for 3D-trusses, and 6 for 3D-frames. An error will occur if it is not set to a number between 1 and 6. Note only istrp=3 was kept. nload This variable should be set equal to the number of dierent load cases to be analyzed. A load case is a specic manner in which the structure is loaded. ID (matrix) The ID matrix contains information concerning the boundary conditions for each node. The number of rows in the matrix correspond with the number of nodes in the structure and the number of columns corresponds with the number of degrees of freedom for each node for that type of structure type. The matrix is composed of ones and zeros. A one indicates that the degree of freedom is restrained and a zero means it is unrestrained. nodecoor (matrix) This matrix contains the coordinates (in the global coordinate system) of the nodes in the structure. The rows correspond with the node number and the columns correspond with the global coordinates x, y, and z, respectively. It is important to always include all three coordinates for each node even if the structure is only two- dimensional. In the case of a two-dimensional structure, the z-coordinate would be equal to zero. lnods (matrix) This matrix contains the nodal connectivity information. The rows correspond with the element number and the columns correspond with the node numbers which the element is connected from and to, respectively. E,A,Iy (arrays) These are the material and cross-sectional properties for the elements. They are arrays with the number of terms equal to the number of elements in the structure. The index number of each term corresponds with the element number. For example, the value of A(3) is the area of element 3, and so on. E is the modulus of elasticity, A is the cross-sectional area, Iy is the moment of inertia about the y axes Pnods This is an array of nodal loads in global degrees of freedom. Only put in the loads in the global degrees of freedom and if there is no load in a particular degree of freedom, then Victor Saouma Matrix Structural Analysis

Draft

STIFFNESS METHOD; Part II

put a zero in its place. The index number corresponds with the global degree of freedom. Pelem This an array of element loads, or loads which are applied between nodes. Only one load between elements can be analyzed. If there are more than one element loads on the structure, the equivalent nodal load can be added to the nodal loads. The index number corresponds with the element number. If there is not a load on a particular member, put a zero in its place. These should be in local coordinates. a This is an array of distances from the left end of an element to the element load. The index number corresponds to the element number. If there is not a load on a particular member, put a zero in its place. This should be in local coordinates. w This is an array of distributed loads on the structure. The index number corresponds with the element number. If there is not a load on a particular member, put a zero in its place. This should be in local coordinates dispflag Set this variable to 1 if there are initial displacements and 0 if there are none. initial displ This is an array of initial displacements in all structural degrees of freedom. This means that you must enter in values for all structure degrees of freedom, not just those restrained. For example, if the structure is a 2D truss with 3 members and 3 node, there would be 6 structural degrees of freedom, etc. If there are no initial displacements, then set the values equal to zero. angle This is an array of angles which the x-axis has possibly been rotated. This angle is taken as positive if the element has been rotated towards the z-axis. The index number corresponds to the element number. drawflag Set this variable equal to 1 if you want the program to draw the structure and 0 if you do not. 5.8.1.2 Sample Input Data File

EQUATIONS OF STATICS and KINEMATICS

Note: This section is largely based on chapter 6 of Mc-Guire and Gallagher, Matrix Structural Analysis, John Wiley
1

Having developed the stiness method in great details, and prior to the introduction of energy based methods (which will culminate with the nite element formulation), we ought to revisit the exibility method. This will be done by rst introducing some basic statics and kinematics relationship. Those relations will eventually enable us not only to formulate the exibility/stiness relation, but also other by-products such as algorithms for: 1) the extraction of a statically determinate structure from a statically indeterminate one; 2) checking prior to analysis whether a structure is kinematically unstable; 3) providing an alternative method of assembling the global stiness matrix.

6.1

Statics Matrix [B]

3 The statics matrix [B] relates the vector of all the structures {P} nodal forces in global coordinates to all the unknown forces (element internal forces in their local coordinate system and structures external reactions) {F}, through equilibrium relationships and is dened as:

{P} [B] {F}

(6.1)

4 [B] would have as many rows as the total number of independent equations of equilibrium; and as many columns as independent internal forces. This is reminiscent of the equilibrium matrix obtained in analyzing trusses by the method of joints. 5

Depending on the type of structure, the internal element forces, and the equilibrium forces will vary according to Table 6.1. As with the exibility method, there is more than one combination

Example 6-1: Statically Determinate Truss Statics Matrix Considering the truss shown in Fig. 6.1, it has 8 unknown forces (4 internal member forces and 4 external reactions), and 8 equations of equilibrium (2 at each of the 4 nodes). Assuming all the element forces to be tensile, and the reactions as shown in the gure, the equilibrium equations are: Node Node 1 Node 2 Node 3 Node 4 FX = 0 Px1 +F3 C Rx1 = 0

We observe that the matrix [B] is totally independent of the external load, and once inverted can be used for multiple load cases with minimal computational eorts.

Example 6-2: Beam Statics Matrix Considering the beam shown in Fig. 6.2, we have 3 elements, each with 2 unknowns (v and m) plus two unknown reactions, for a total of 8 unknowns. To solve for those unknowns we have 2 equations of equilibrium at each of the 4 nodes. Note that in this problem we have selected as primary unknowns the shear and moment at the right end of each element. The left components can be recovered from equilibrium. From equilibrium we thus have:

For the case of a statically indeterminate structure, Eq. 6.1 can be generalized as: {P}2n1 = [ [B0 ]2n2n [Bx ]2nr ] F0 Fx (6.6)
(2n+r)1

where [B0 ] is a square matrix, {F0 } the vector of unknown internal element forces or external reactions, and {Fx } the vector of unknown redundant internal forces or reactions.
8

Hence, we can determine {F0 } from {F0 } = [B0 ]1 {P} [B0 ]1 [Bx ] {Fx } = [C1 ]2n2n {P} [C2 ]2nr {Fx } (6.7) (6.8)

Selecting the fth element force as the redundant force, and with r = 1, we write Eq. 6.6

Note, that this equation is not sucient to solve for the unknown forces, as {Fx } must be obtained through force displacement relations ([D] or [K]).

Identication of Redundant Forces

10 Whereas the identication of redundant forces was done by mere inspection of the structure in hand based analysis of structure, this identication process can be automated. 11

Starting with {P}2n1 = [B]2n(2n+r) {F}(2n+r)1 [B]2n(2n+r) {F}2n+r1 [I]2n2n {P}2n1 = {0} B I
2n(4n+r)

F P

= {0}

(6.14)

where

B I

corresponds to the augmented matrix.

12 If we apply a Gauss-Jordan elimination process to the augmented matrix, Eq. 6.14 is then transformed into:

I2n2n C22nr or:

C12n2n

F0 x P 4n+r1

= {0}

(6.15)

{F0 }2n1 = [C1 ]2n2n {P}2n1 + [C2 ]2nr {Fx }r1

(6.16)

which is identical to Eq. 6.8; As before, Fx are the redundant forces and their solution obviously would depend on the elastic element properties.

Example 6-4: Selection of Redundant Forces Revisiting the statically determined truss of Example 1, but with the addition of a fth element, the truss would now be statically indeterminate to the rst degree. The equation of

6.1.2

Kinematic Instability

13 Kinematic instability results from a structure with inadequate restraint in which rigid body motion can occur.

For example in Fig. 6.4, there is no adequate restraint for the frame against displacement in the horizontal direction, and the truss may rotate with respect to point O. Kinematic instability will result in a matrix which is singular, and decomposition of this matrix will result in a division by zero causing a computer program to crash. Hence, it is often desirable for large structures to determine a priori whether a structure is kinematically instable before the analysis is performed.
14 15 Conditions for static determinacy and instability can be stated as a function of the rank of [B]. If [B] has n rows (corresponding to the number of equilibrium equations), u columns (corresponding to the number of internal forces and reactions), and is of rank r, then conditions of kinematic instability are summarized in Table 6.2 16 Note that kinematic instability is not always synonymous with structure collapse. In some cases equilibrium will be recovered only after geometry would have been completely altered (such as with a exible cable structures) and equations of equilibrium would have to be completely rewritten with the new geometry.

Contrarily to the rotation matrix introduced earlier and which transforms the displacements from global to local coordinate for one single element, the kinematics matrix applies to the entire structure.
19

It can be easily shown that for trusses: e = (u2 u1 ) cos + (v2 v1 ) sin (6.25)

where is the angle between the element and the X axis. whereas for exural members: v21 = v2 v1 z1 L z21 = z2 z1 (6.26) (6.27)

Statics-Kinematics Matrix Relationship

20 Having dened both the statics [B] and kinematics [A] matrices, it is intuitive that those two matrices must be related. In this section we seek to determine this relationship for both the statically determinate and statically indeterminate cases.

Alternatively, the internal work is given by: Wint = 1 F {} 2 {} = [A] {} Wint = 1 F [A] {} 2 (6.31)

Equating the external to the internal work Wext = Wint we obtain: 1 1 F [B]T {} = F [A] {} 2 2 [B]T = [A] (6.32) (6.33)

6.3.2

Statically Indeterminate

24 Whereas in the preceding case we used Eq. 6.1 for [B], for the most general case of statically indeterminate structures we can start from Eq. 6.6 and write:

{P} = [ B0 Bx ]

F0 Fx

(6.34)

where Fx correspond to the redundant forces. The external work will then be Wext = 1 2 F0 Fx [B0 ]t [Bx ]t {} (6.35)

Again, we can generalize Eq. 6.24 and write 0 x = A0 Ax {} (6.36)

where {0 } and {x } are relative displacements corresponding to {F0 } and {Fx } respectively.
26

Consequently the internal work would be given by: Wint = 1 2 F0 Fx [A0 ] [Ax ] {} (6.37)

As before, equating the external to the internal work Wext = Wint and simplifying, we obtain: [B0 ]T [Bx ]

= [A0 ] = [Ax ]

Kinematic Relations through Inverse of Statics Matrix

28 We now seek to derive some additional relations between the displacements through the inverse of the statics matrix. Those relations will be used later in the exibility methods, and have no immediate applications. 29

6.5 Congruent Transformation Approach to [K]

617

Combining this equation with [B0 ]1 = [C1 ] from Eq. 6.41, and with Eq. 6.40 we obtain {} = [C1 ]t {0 } Similarly, we can revisit Eq. 6.36 and write {x } = [Ax ] {} (6.43) (6.42)

When the previous equation is combined with the rightmost side of Eq. 6.40 and 6.39 we obtain {x } = [Bx ]t [B0 ]1 {0 }
32

(6.44)

Thus, with [B0 ]1 [Bx ] = [C2 ] from Eq. 6.41 {x } = [C2 ]t {0 } (6.45)

This equation relates the unknown relative displacements to the relative known ones.

6.5

Congruent Transformation Approach to [K]

Note: This section is largely based on section 3.3 of Gallagher, Finite Element Analysys, Prentice Hall.
33 For an arbitrary structure composed of n elements, we can dene the unconnected nodal load and displacement vectors in global coordinate as

where {Pi } and {i } are the nodal load and displacements arrays of element i. The size of each submatrix (or more precisely of each subarray) is equal to the total number of d.o.f. in global coordinate for element i.
34 Similarly, we can dene the unconnected (or unassembled) global stiness matrix of the structure as [Ke ]:

EQUATIONS OF STATICS and KINEMATICS

35 Note that all other terms of this matrix are equal to zero, and that there is no intersection between the various submatrices. Hence, this matrix does not reect the connectivity among all the elements.

We recall the following relations (Eq. 6.1, 6.24, and 6.33 respectively) {} = [A]{} {P} = [B]{F} [B]

(6.50) (6.51) (6.52)

We now combine those matrices with the denition of the stiness matrix: {P} = [B]{F} [A]T {F} = [K]{} {P} = [K]{} [K] = [A]T [Ke ][A] {F} = [Ke ]{} T {} = [A]{} [B] = [A] (6.53)

37 Thus, we have just dened a congruent transformation on the unconnected global stiness matrix written in terms of [Ke ] to obtain the structure stiness matrix. We shall note that:

1. If [Ke ] is expressed in global coordinates, then [A] is a boolean matrix. 2. If [Ke ] is in local coordinates, then [A] must include transformation from element to global coordinate systems, and is no longer boolean. 3. [K] accounts for the B.C. as those terms associated with the restrained d.o.f. are not included. 4. Note the similarity between the direct stiness method: [K] = congruent transformation approach: [K] = [A]T [Ke ][A]. []T [k][] and the

Congruent approach appears to be less ecient than the direct stiness method as both [Ke ] and [A] are larger than [K].

5 We recall from Sect. 6.1.1 that we can automatically identify the redundant forces [Fx ] and rewrite Eq. 7.4 as: 0 de [0] F0 00 = (7.5) Fx x [0] de xx

where [de ] and [de ] correspond to the unassembled global exibility matrix, and {F0 } and xx 00 {Fx } are the corresponding forces. Next we must relate the redundant and nonredundant forces (which together constitute the unknown element forces and reactions) to the externally applied load {P}. Hence we recall from Eq. 6.16: (7.6) {F0 } = [C1 ] {P} + [C2 ] {Fx }
6

which can be rewritten (for convenience:) as: F0 Fx

C1 C2 0 I

P Fx

(7.7)

From Eq. 6.42 we had: {} = [C1 ]t {0 } and from Eq. 6.45: {x } = [C2 ]t {0 } which lead to t p C1 0 0 = (7.8) t 0 C2 I x where the subscript p in {p } has been added to emphasize that we are referring only to the global displacements corresponding to {P}.
8

Finally we substitute Eq. 7.7 into Eq. 7.5 and the results into Eq. 7.8 to obtain: p 0 =

Solution of Redundant Forces

10 We can solve for the redundant forces (recall that in the exibility method, redundant forces are the primary unknowns as opposed to displacements in the stiness method) by solving the lower partition of Eq. 7.10:

{Fx } = [Dxx ]1 [Dxp ] {P}

(7.14)

7.2.2
11

Solution of Internal Forces and Reactions

The internal forces and reactions can in turn be obtained through Eq. 6.16: {F0 } = [C1 ] {P} + [C2 ] {Fx } (7.15)

which is combined with Eq. 7.14 to yield: {F0 } = [C1 ] [C2 ] [Dxx ]1 [Dxp ] {P} (7.16)

7.2.3

Solution of Joint Displacements

Joint displacements are in turn obtained by considering the top partition of Eq. 7.10: {p } = [Dpp ] [Dpx ] [Dxx ]1 [Dxp ] {P}

Example 7-1: Flexibility Method Solve for the internal forces and displacements of joint 2 of the truss in example 6.1.1. Let H = 0.75L and assign area A to members 3 and 5, and 0.5A to members 1, 2, and 4. Let f5 be the redundant force, and use the [C1 ] and [C2 ] matrices previously derived.

Stiness Flexibility Relations

13 Having introduced both the stiness and exibility methods, we shall rigorously consider the relationship among the two matrices [k] and [d] at the structure level. 14

Let us generalize the stiness relation by partitioning it into two groups: 1) subscript s for

From Stiness to Flexibility

To obtain [d] the structure must be supported in a stable and statically determinate way, as for the beam in Fig. 7.1. for which we would have: {f } = {s } = {Pf } = {Ps } = 1 2 v1 v2 M1 M2 V1 V2 (7.27) (7.28) (7.29) (7.30)

Since {s } = {0} the above equation reduces to: Pf Ps and we would have: {Pf } = [kf f ] {f } [d] = [kf f ]1 (7.32) (7.33) = kf f ksf {f } (7.31)

[kf f ]: From Eq. 7.26, [k] was subdivided into free and supported d.o.f.s, and we have shown that [kf f ] = [d]1 , or {Pf } = [kf f ] {f } but we still have to determine [kf s ], [ksf ], and [kss ].
17

[ksf ]: Since [d] is obtained for a stable statically determinate structure, we have: {Ps } = [B] {Pf } {Ps } = [B] [kf f ]{f } [ksf ] [ksf ] = [B] [d]1 (7.38) (7.36) (7.37)

Equating Wext to Wint and combining with Ps = f [ksf ]T from Eq. 7.26 with {s } = {0} (zero support displacements) we obtain: [kf s ] = [ksf ]T = [d]1 [B]T Victor Saouma (7.40) Matrix Structural Analysis (7.39)

In summary we have: [k] = [d]1 [d]1 [B]T [B][d]1 [B][d]1 [B]T (7.45)

A very important observation, is that the stiness matrix is obviously singular, since the second row is linearly dependent on the rst one (through [B]) and thus, its determinent is equal to zero.

Compatibility Equation

If ij = 1 (ui,j + uj,i ) then we have six dierential equations (in 3D the strain tensor has a 2 total of 9 terms, but due to symmetry, there are 6 independent ones) for determining (upon integration) three unknowns displacements ui . Hence the system is overdetermined, and there must be some linear relations between the strains. It can be shown (through appropriate successive dierentiation of Eq. ??) that the compatibility relation for strain reduces to:
15

2 jj 2 jk 2 ij 2 ik + = 0. xj xj xi xk xi xj xj xk

15 We note that the Functional and the corresponding Euler Equations, Eq. 9.1 and 9.14, or Eq. 9.15 and 9.16 describe the same problem.

The Euler equations usually correspond to the governing dierential equation and are referred to as the strong form (or classical form).
16 17 The functional is referred to as the weak form (or generalized solution). This classication stems from the fact that equilibrium is enforced in an average sense over the body (and the eld variable is dierentiated m times in the weak form, and 2m times in the strong form). 18 It can be shown that in the principle of virtual displacements, the Euler equations are the equilibrium equations, whereas in the principle of virtual forces, they are the compatibility equations. 19 Euler equations are dierential equations which can not always be solved by exact methods. An alternative method consists in bypassing the Euler equations and go directly to the variational statement of the problem to the solution of the Euler equations. 20 Finite Element formulation are based on the weak form, whereas the formulation of Finite Dierences are based on the strong form. 21

Essential (or Forced, or geometric) boundary conditions, involve derivatives of order zero (the eld variable itself) through m-1. Trial displacement functions are explicitely required to satisfy this B.C. Mathematically, this corresponds to Dirichlet boundary-value problems. Nonessential (or Natural, or static) boundary conditions, involve derivatives of order m and up. This B.C. is implied by the satisfaction of the variational statement but not explicitly stated in the functional itself. Mathematically, this corresponds to Neuman boundary-value problems.

Energy is a quantity representing the ability or capacity to perform work.

The change in energy is proportional to the amount of work performed. Since only the change of energy is involved, any datum can be used as a basis for measure of energy. Hence energy is neither created nor consumed.
30

The rst law of thermodynamics states The time-rate of change of the total energy (i.e., sum of the kinetic energy and the internal energy) is equal to the sum of the rate of work done by the external forces and the change of heat content per unit time:
d dt (K

+ U ) = We + H

(9.31)

where K is the kinetic energy, U the internal strain energy, W the external work, and H the heat input to the system.
31 For an adiabatic system (no heat exchange) and if loads are applied in a quasi static manner (no kinetic energy), the above relation simplies to:

We = U

Path Independence of External Work

48 In this section we seek to prove that the total work performed in going from state A to B is independent of the path. 49

In 2D the dierential expression of the work is given by dW = Fx dx + Fy dy (9.52)

From calculus, a necessary and sucient condition for dW to be an exact dierential is that Fy Fx = y x (9.53)

51 If the force were to move along a closed contour (or from A to B and then back to A along any arbitrary path), corresponding to , then from Greens theorem (Eq. 5.3) we have

Principle of Virtual Work and Complementary Virtual Work

The principles of Virtual Work and Complementary Virtual Work relate force systems which satisfy the requirements of equilibrium, and deformation systems which satisfy the requirement of compatibility: 1. In any application the force system could either be the actual set of external loads dp or some virtual force system which happens to satisfy the condition of equilibrium p. This set of external forces will induce internal actual forces d or internal hypothetical forces compatible with the externally applied load. 2. Similarly the deformation could consist of either the actual joint deections du and compatible internal deformations d of the structure, or some hypothetical external and internal deformation u and which satisfy the conditions of compatibility.

Thus we may have 4 possible combinations, Table 9.2: where: d corresponds to the actual, and (with an overbar) to the hypothetical values. This table calls for the following observations

It is simpler to use than the third as a internal force distribution compatible with the assumed virtual force can be easily obtained for statically determinate structures. This approach will yield exact solutions for staticaally determinate structures. 2. The third approach is favoured for kinematically indeterminate problems or in conjunction with approximate solution. It requires a proper guess of a displacement shape and is the basis of the stifness method.

The essential boundary conditions are expressed as ui = u on u (9.118)

Those two equations are rewritten as ij ui,j = 0 ui u = 0 (9.119-a) (9.119-b)

To obtain the Euler equations for the general form of the potential energy variational principle the volume integrals dening the virtual strain energy U in Equation 9.169 must be integrated by parts in order to convert the variation of the strains (Lu) into a variation of the displacements u. Integration by parts of these integrals using Greens theorem (Kreyszig 1988) yields (Lu)T D d =

Rayleigh-Ritz Method

Continous systems have innite number of degrees of freedom, those are the displacements at every point within the structure. Their behavior can be described by the Euler Equation, or the partial dierential equation of equilibrium. However, only the simplest problems have an exact solution which (satises equilibrium, and the boundary conditions).

An approximate method of solution is the Rayleigh-Ritz method which is based on the principle of virtual displacements. In this method we approximate the displacement eld by a function

should satisfy three conditions

1. Be continous. 2. Must be admissible, i.e. satisfy the essential boundary conditions (the natural boundary conditions are included already in the variational statement. However, if also satisfy them, then better results are achieved). 3. Must be independent and complete (which means that the exact displacement and their derivatives that appear in can be arbitrary matched if enough terms are used. Furthermore, lowest order terms must also beincluded). In general is a polynomial or trigonometric function. We determine the parameters cj by requiring that the principle of virtual work for arbitrary i variations cj . or i

Thus we obtain a total of 3n linearly independent simultaneous equations. From these displacements, we can then determine strains and stresses (or internal forces). Hence we have replaced a problem with an innite number of d.o.f by one with a nite number. Some general observations 1. cj can either be a set of coecients with no physical meanings, or variables associated i with nodal generalized displacements (such as deection or displacement). 2. If the coordinate functions satisfy the above requirements, then the solution converges to the exact one if n increases. 3. For increasing values of n, the previously computed coecients remain unchanged. 4. Since the strains are computed from the approximate displacements, strains and stresses are generally less accurate than the displacements. 5. The equilibrium equations of the problem are satised only in the energy sense = 0 and not in the dierential equation sense (i.e. in the weak form but not in the strong one). Therefore the displacements obtained from the approximation generaly do not satisfy the equations of equilibrium. 6. Since the continuous system is approximated by a nite number of coordinates (or d.o.f.), then the approximate system is stier than the actual one, and the displacements obtained from the Ritz method converge to the exact ones from below.

Example 9-8: Uniformly Loaded Simply Supported Beam; Polynomial Approximation

For the uniformly loaded beam shown in Fig. 9.13 let us assume a solution given by the following innite series: v = a1 x(L x) + a2 x2 (L x)2 + . . . for this particular solution, let us retain only the rst term: v = a1 x(L x) We observe that: 1. Contrarily to the previous example problem the geometric B.C. are immediately satised at both x = 0 and x = L.
2. We can keep v in terms of a1 and take a1 = 0 (If we had left v in terms of a1 and a2 we should then take both a1 = 0, and a2 = 0 ).

but since the variation Pi is arbitrary, then each factor within the parenthesis must be equal to zero. Thus Wi (9.223) = k Pk which is Castiglianos second theorem: If the complementary strain energy of a body is expressed in terms of forces then the rst partial derivative of the strain energy with respect to any one of the forces, is equal to the corresponding displacement at the point where the force is located.

Example 9-11: Cantilivered beam Solve for the displacement of the tip of a cantiliver loaded by a point load. Solution: dx, and for a point load, the external work EI is We = P thus the potential energy of the system is From Eq. 9.43, the strain energy is U =

Distributed Loads

Castiglianos theorem can easily be applied to problems in which the structure is subjected to point load or moments, and we seek the deection under these loads.

However when a structure is subjected to say a uniform load, and we wish to determine the deection at a point where no point load is applied, then we must introduce a ctitious corresponding force R and then write the complementary strain energy interms of R and the applied load.

Comparison of Alternate Approximate Solutions

While we were able to assess the accuracy of our approximate solutions with respect to the exact one, (already known), in general this is not possible. (i.e., If an exact solution is known, there is no need for an approximate one). Thus the question is, given two or more alternate approximate solutions which one is the best? This can be determined by evaluating the potential energy of each approximate solution and identify the lowest one. Example 9-13: Comparison of MPE Solutions

Introduction

Application of the Principle of Virtual Displacement requires an assumed displacement eld. This displacement eld can be approximated by interpolation functions written in terms of: 1. Unknown polynomial coecients, most appropriate for continuous systems, and the RayleighRitz method (10.1) y = a1 + a2 x + a3 x2 + a4 x3 A major drawback of this approach, is that the coecients have no physical meaning. 2. Unknown nodal deformations, most appropriate for discrete systems and Potential Energy based formulations (10.2) y = = N1 1 + N2 2 + . . . + Nn n For simple problems both Eqn. 10.1 and Eqn. 10.2 can readily provide the exact solutions of d4 q the governing dierential equation (such as dxy = EI for exure), but for more complex ones, 4 one must use an approximate one.

N can be derived on the bases of: (a) Assumed deformation state dened in terms of polynomial series. (b) Interpolation function (Lagrangian or Hermitian).
30 We shall distinguish between two classes of problems, those involving displacements only, and those involving displacement and their derivatives.

The rst class requires only continuity of displacement, and will be referred to as C 0 problems (truss, torsion), whereas the second one requires continuity of slopes and will be referred to as C 1 problems.

Axial/Torsional

With reference to Fig. 10.1 we start with: = N1 1 + N2 2 x = N1 x1 + N2 x2 (10.4) (10.5)

Since we have 2 d.o.fs, we will assume a linear deformation state u = a1 x + a2 (10.6)

where u can be either or , and the B.C.s are given by: u = u1 at x = 0, and u = u2 at x = L. Thus we have: u1 = a2 Victor Saouma (10.7) Matrix Structural Analysis

u2 u1 L L = u1

Substituting and rearranging those expressions into Eq. 10.6 we obtain u = ( u2 u1 )x + u1 L L x x u2 = (1 ) u1 + L L

C 0 : Lagrangian Interpolation Functions

In our earlier approach, the shape functions were obtained by: 1. Assumption of a polynomial function: = p {a} 2. Application of the boundary conditions {} = [L]{a} 3. Inversion of [L] 4. And nally [N] = [p][L]1

By following these operations, we have in eect dened the Lagrangian Interpolation Functions for problems with C 0 interelement continuity (i.e continuity of displacement only).

56 The Lagrangian interpolation denes the coecients ([N] in our case) of a polynomial series representation of a function in terms of values dened at discrete points (nodes in our case). For points along a line this would yield: m+1 (xxj ) j=1,j=i m+1 (xi xj ) j=1,j=i

Ni =

If expanded, the preceding equation would yield: N1 = N2 = Nm+1 = (x x2 )(x x3 ) (x xm+1 ) (x1 x2 )(x1 x3 ) (x1 xm+1 ) (x x1 )(x x3 ) (x xm+1 ) (x2 x1 )(x2 x3 ) (x2 xm+1 ) (x x1 )(x x2 ) (x xm ) (xm+1 x1 )(xm+1 x2 ) (xm+1 xm )

(10.39)

For the axial member, m = 1, x1 = 0, and x2 = L, the above equations will result in: = x x x (x L) 1 + 2 = (1 ) 1 + 2 L L L L

which is identical to Eq. 10.12. 10.3.1.1

Constant Strain Quadrilateral Element

Next we consider a quadrilateral element, Fig. 10.5 with bi-linear displacement eld (in both x and y).
60 Using the Lagrangian interpolation function of Eq. 10.38, and starting with the u displacement, we perform two interpolations: the rst one along the bottom edge (1-2) and along the top one (4-3). 61

From Eq. 10.38 with m = 1 we obtain: u12 = = x2 x x1 x u1 + u2 x2 x1 x1 x2 ax x+a u1 + u2 2a 2a

(10.41)

64 One can easily check that at each node i the corresponding Ni is equal to 1, and all others to zero, and that at any point N1 + N2 + N3 + N4 = 1. Hence, the displacement eld will be given by: u1 v 1 u2 v u N1 0 N2 0 N3 0 N4 0 2 = (10.44) v 0 N1 0 N2 0 N3 0 N4 u3 v3 u 4 v4

The displacement at any point inside an element can be written in terms of the shape functions N and the nodal displacements {} (x) = N(x) {} The strain is then dened as: (x) = [B(x)]{} (11.2) where [B] is the matrix which relates joint displacements to strain eld and is clearly expressed in terms of derivatives of N.

12.1 Introduction

27 Having rst introduced the method of virtual displacements in Chapter 9, than the shape functions [N] (Chapter 10) which relate internal to external nodal displacements, than the basic equations of elasticity (Chapter 8) which dened the [D] matrix, and nally having applied the virtual displacement method to nite element in chapter 11, we now revisit some one dimensional element whose stiness matrix was earlier derived, and derive the stiness matrices of additional two dimensional nite elements.

Strong Form

Column buckling theory originated with Leonhard Euler in 1744.

An initially straight member is concentrically loaded, and all bers remain elastic until buckling occur.
29 For buckling to occur, it must be assumed that the column is slightly bent as shown in Fig. 13.1. Note, in reality no column is either perfectly straight, and in all cases a minor imperfection

P x and y are x principal axes

Slightly bent position L

Figure 13.1: Euler Column is present.

13.1.1

Lower Order Dierential Equation

30 At any location x along the column, the imperfection in the column compounded by the concentric load P , gives rise to a moment

Mz = P y

(13.1)

Draft
132 Note that the value of y is irrelevant.
31

GEOMETRIC NONLINEARITY

Recalling that (13.2)

Mz d2 y = 2 dx EI upon substitution, we obtain the following dierential equation P d2 y y=0 2 dx EI

(13.3)

Letting k2 =

P EI ,

the solution to this second-order linear dierential equation is y = A sin kx B cos kx (13.4)

The two constants are determined by applying the boundary conditions 1. y = 0 at x = 0, thus B = 0 2. y = 0 at x = L, thus A sin kL = 0 (13.5)

34 This last equation can be satised if: 1) A = 0, that is there is no deection; 2) kL = 0, that is no applied load; or 3) kL = n (13.6)

Thus buckling will occur if

P EI

n 2 L

or P = n2 2 EI L2

The fundamental buckling mode, i.e. a single curvature deection, will occur for n = 1; Thus Euler critical load for a pinned column is
35

Pcr =

2 EI L2

(13.7)

The corresponding critical stress is cr = 2 E

Higher Order Dierential Equation

38 In the preceding approach, the buckling loads were obtained for a column with specied boundary conditons. A second order dierential equation, valid specically for the member being analyzed was used. 39 In the next approach, we derive a single fourth order equation which will be applicable to any column regardelss of the boundary conditions.

Considering a beam-column subjected to axial and shear forces as well as a moment, Fig. dv 13.2, taking the moment about i for the beam segment and assuming the angle dx between the axis of the beam and the horizontal axis is small, leads to

dM (dx)2 dV dx + w + V + dx 2 dx

Neglecting the terms in dx2 which are small, and then dierentiating each term with respect to x, we obtain d2 v dV d2 M P 2 =0 (13.10) dx2 dx dx
41 42

However, considering equilibrium in the y direction gives dV = w dx (13.11)

From beam theory, neglecting axial and shear deformations, we have M = EI d2 v dx2 (13.12)

44 Substituting Eq. 13.11 and 13.12 into 13.10, and assuming a beam of uniform cross section, we obtain d4 v d2 v (13.13) EI 4 P 2 = w dx dx

P Introdcing k2 = EI , the general solution of this fourth order dierential equation to any set of boundary conditions is
45

v = C1 sin kx + C2 cos kx + C3 x + C4
46

(13.14)

If we consider again the stability of a hinged-hinged column, the boundary conditions are v = 0, v,xx = 0 at x = 0 v = 0, v,xx = 0 at x = L (13.15)

substitution of the two conditions at x = 0 leads to C2 = C4 = 0. From the remaining conditions, we obtain C1 sin kL + C3 L = 0 C1 k sin kl = 0
2

(13.16-a) (13.16-b)

these relations are satised either if C1 = C3 = 0 or if sin kl = C3 = 0. The rst alternative leads to the trivial solution of equilibrium at all loads, and the second to kL = n for n = 1, 2, 3 . For n = 1, the critical load is Pcr = 2 EI L2 (13.17)

which was derived earlier using the lower order dierential equation.
47 Next we consider a column with one end xed (at x = 0), and one end hinged (at x = L). The boundary conditions are

v = 0, v,xx = 0 at x = 0 v = 0, v,x = 0 at x = L These boundary conditions will yield C2 = C4 = 0, and sin kL kL cos kL = 0 tan kL = kL

(13.18)

(13.19)

But since cos kL can not possibly be equal to zero, the preceding equation can be reduced to (13.20)

which is a transcendental algebraic equation and can only be solved numerically. We are essentially looking at the intersection of y = x and y = tan x, Fig. 13.3 and the smallest P positive root is kL = 4.4934, since k2 = EI , the smallest critical load is Pcr = (4.4934)2 2 EI = EI L2 (0.699L)2 (13.21)

Note that if we were to solve for x such that v,xx = 0 (i.e. an inection point), then x = 0.699L.
48 We observe that in using the higher order dierential equation, we can account for both natural and essential boundary conditions.

where the element stiness matrix is expressed in terms of both the elastic and geometric components) k = ke + kg In a global formulation,we would have K = Ke + Kg (13.45) (13.44)

We assume that conservative loading is applied, that is the direction of the load does not follow the deected direction of the member upon which it acts.

13.3

Elastic Instability

68 In elastic instability, the intensity of the axial load system to cause buckling is yet unknown, the incremental stiness matrix must rst be numerically evaluated using an arbitrary chosen load intensity (since Kg is itself a function of P ). 69 For buckling to occur, the intensity of the axial load system must be times the initially arbitrarily chosen intensity of the force. Note that for a structure, the initial distribution of P must be obtained from a linear elastic analysis. Hence, the buckling load, P is given by

P = P

(13.46)

70 Since the geometric stiness matrix is proportional to the internal forces at the start, it follows that (13.47) Kg = K g

where K corresponds to the geometric stiness matrix for unit values of the applied loading g ( = 1).
71

The elastic stiness matrix Ke remains a constant, hence we can write (Ke + K )v P = 0 g

The displacements are in turn given by v = (Ke + K )1 P g

and for the displacements to tend toward innity, then |Ke + K | = 0 g Victor Saouma (13.48) Matrix Structural Analysis

|K1 Ke + I| = 0 g

(13.49)

73 Alternatively, it can simply be argued that there is no unique solution (bifurcation condition) to v.

The lowest value of , crit will give the buckling load for the structure and the buckling loads will be given by
74

Pcrit = crit P

(13.50)

The corresponding deformed shape is directly obtained from the corresponding eigenvector.

Geometric Non-Linearity

76 From Eq. 13.44 it is evident that since kg depends on the magnitude of Px , which itself may be an unknown in a framework, then we do have a geometrically non-linear problem.

Example 13-3: Eect of Axial Load on Flexural Deformation Determine the midspan displacement and member end forces for the beam-column shown below in terms of Px ; The concentrated force is 50kN applied at midspan, E=2 109 kN/m2 and I=2 103 m4 .

Solution: Using two elements for the beam column, the only degrees of freedom are the deection and rotation at midspan (we neglect the axial deformation). Victor Saouma Matrix Structural Analysis

Solution:

13.4 Geometric Non-Linearity

1323

In the following solution, we will rst determine the axial forces based on the elastic stiness matrix only. Then, on the basis of those axial forces, we shall determine the geometric stiness matrix, and solve for the displacements. Because of the non-linearity of the problem, we may have to iterate in order to reach convergence. Following each analysis, we shall recompute the geometric stiness matrix on the basis of the axial loads detemined from the previous iteration. Note that convergence will be reached only for stable problems. If the method fails to converge, it implies possible biurcation which could be caused by elastic displacements approaching L sin , due to either being too small, or E being too small (i.e not sti enough).

Because of the discretization of the structure into a nite number of nodes, its solution will always lead to a matrix formulation. This matrix representation will be exploited by the computer ability to operate on vectors and matrices.

Can you write a computer program to compute the determinant of an n n matrix? We note that an n n matrix would have a determinant which contains n! terms each one involving n multiplications. Hence if n = 10 there would be 10! = 3, 628, 800 terms, each one involving 9 multiplications hence over 30 million oating operations should be performed in order to evaluate the determinant. This is why it is impractical to use Cramers rule to solve a system of linear equations. Some important properties of deteminants: 1. The determinant of the transpose of a matrix is equal to the determinant of the matrix | A |=| AT | (2.29)

2. If at least one row or one column is a linear combination of the other rows or columns, then the determinant is zero. The inverse is also true, if the determinant is equal to zero, then at least one row or one column is a linear combination of of other rows or columns. 3. If there is linear dependancy between rows, then there is also one between columns and vice-versa. 4. The determinant of an upper or lower triangular matrix is equal to the product of the main diagonal terms. 5. The determinant of the product of two square matrices is equal to the product of the individual determinants | AB |=| A || B | (2.30) Victor Saouma Matrix Structural Analysis

B.4 Singularity and Rank

Singularity and Rank

If the deteminant of a matrix [A]nn is zero, than the matrix is said to be singular. As we have seen earlier, this means that there is at least one row or one column which is a linear combinations of the others. Should we remove this row and column, we can repeat the test for singularity until the size of the submatrix is r r. Then we refer to r as the rank of the matrix or rank(A) = r. We deduce that the rank of a nonsigular n n matrix is n. If the rank of a matrix r is less than its size n, we say that it has n r rank deciency. If n is the size of the global stiness matrix of a structure in which the boundary conditions have not been accounted for (n = is equal to the total number of nodes times the total number of degrees of freedom per node) would have a rank r equal to n minus the number of possible rigid body motions (3 and 6 in two and three dimensional respectively).

Inversion
[A] [A]1 = [A]1 [A] = [I]

The inverse of a square (nonsingular) matrix [A] is denoted by [A]1 and is such that (2.31)

(2.32)

2. The inverse of a matrix product is the reverse product of the inverses ([A] [B])1 = [B]1 [A]1 3. The inverse of a symmetric matrix is also symmetric 4. The inverse of a diagonal matrix is another diagonal one with entries equal to the inverse of the entries of the original matrix. 5. The inverse of a triangular matrix is a triangular matrix. 6. It is computationally more ecient to decompose a matrix ([A] = [L] [D] [U]) using upper and lower decomposition or Gauss elimination) than to invert a matrix. (2.33)

The n eigenvalues of real symmetric matrices of rank n are all real. 2. The eigenvectors are orthogonal and form an orthogonal basis in En .

Introduction

Given a system of linear equations [A]nn {x} = {b} (which may result from the direct stiness method), we seek to solve for {x}. Symbolically this operation is represented by: {x} = [A]1 {b}
77

There are two approaches for this operation:

Direct inversion using Cramers rule where [A]1 = [adjA] . However, this approach is compu[A] tationally very inecient for n 3 as it requires evaluation of n high order determinants. Decomposition: where in the most general case we seek to decompose [A] into [A] = [L][D][U] and where: [L] lower triangle matrix [D] diagonal matrix [U] upper triangle matrix There are two classes of solutions Direct Method: characterized by known, nite number of operations required to achieve the decomposition yielding exact results. Indirect methods: or iterative decomposition technique, with no a-priori knowledge of the number of operations required yielding an aapproximate solution with user dened level of accuracy.

Direct Methods
Gauss, and Gaus-Jordan Elimination

Given [A]{x} = {b}, we seek to transform this equation into 1. Gaus Elimination: [U]{x} = {y} where [U]is an upper triangle, and then backsubstitute from the bottom up to solve for the unknowns. Note that in this case we operate on both [A] & {b}, yielding {x}. 2. Gauss-Jordan Elimination: is similar to the Gaus Elimination, however tather than transforming the [A] matrix into an upper diagonal one, we transform [A|I] into [I|A1 ]. Thus no backsubstitution is needed and the matrix inverse can be explicitely obtained.

Example C-1: Gauss Elimination In this rst example we simply seek to solve for the unknown vector {x} given:
+10x1
1 +5x 1

20x

+x2 5x3 = 1. +3x2 +20x3 = 2. +3x2 +5x3 = 6.

+x2 5.x3 = 1. +5.x2 +10.x3 = 4. +2.5x2 +7.5x3 = 5.5

3. Substract 2.5 times the second equation from the third one will elliminate the x2 coecient 5 from the last equation

LU Decomposition

81 In the previous decomposition method, the right hand side ({b} must have been known before decomposition (unless we want to detemine the inverse of the matrix which is computationaly more expensive).

In some applications it may be desirable to decompose the matrix without having the RHS completed. For instance, in the direct stiness method we may have multiple load cases yet we would like to invert only once the stiness matrix.

Choleskys Decomposition

If [A] is symmetric [A]F is not. For example: 16 4 8 1 16 4 8 5 4 = .25 1 4 6 4 8 4 22 .5 1.5 1 9 (3.21)

In the most general case, we will have: [A] = [L ][D][U ]T (3.22)

For aa symmetric [A] matrix, [U ] should be the transpose of [L ] or [A] = [L ][D][L ]T (3.23)

Furthermore, the diagonal matrix [D] can be factored as as the product of two matrices: 1 1 [D] = [D] 2 [D] 2 Thus: 1 1 (3.24) [A] = [L ][D] 2 [D] 2 [L ]T

Indirect Methods

Iterative methods are most suited for 1. Very large systems of equation n > 10, or 100,000 2. systems with a known guess of the solution

The most popular method is the Gauss Seidel.

C.3.1

Gauss Seidel
c11 x1 + c12 x2 + c13 x3 = r1 c21 x1 + c22 x2 + c23 x3 = r2 c31 x1 + c32 x2 + c33 x3 = r3

(3.28)

solve 1st equation for x1 using initial guess for x2 , x3 . x1 = r1 c12 x2 c13 x3 c11 r2 c21 x1 c23 x3 c22 (3.29)

solve 2nd equation for x2 using the computed value of x1 & initial guess of x3 x2 = so on & so forth Note: 1. The iterative process can be considered to have converged if: | xk xk1 | xlk (3.31) (3.30)

2. The convergence can be accelerated by relaxation

k1 xk = xk + (1 )xi i i

(3.32)

where is a weight factor between 0. and 2. For values below 1 we have underrelaxation, and for values greater than 1 we have overrelaxation. The former is used for nonconvergent systems, whereas the later is used to accelerate convergence of converging ones. optimum for frame analysis is around 1.8.

Ill Conditioning

93 An ill condition system of linear equations is one in which a small perturbation of the coecient aij results in large variation in the results x. Such a system arises in attempting to solve for the intersection of two lines which are nearly parallel, or the decomposition of a structure stiness matrix in which very sti elements are used next to very soft ones.

C.4.1
94

Condition Number

Ill conditioning can be detected by determining the condition number of the matrix. = max min (3.33)

where max and min are the maximum and minimum eigenvalues of the coecient matrix.
95 In the decomposition of a matrix, truncation errors may result in a loss of precision which has been quantied by: s = p log (3.34)

where p is the number of decimal places to which the coecient matrix is represented in the computer, and s is the number of correct decimal places in the solution.
96 Note that because the formula involves log , the eigenvalues need only be approximately evaluated.

C.4.2
97

Pre Conditioning

If a matrix [K] has an unacceptably high condition number, it can be preconditionedthrough a congruent operation: (3.35) [K ] = [D1 ][K][D2 ] However there are no general rules for selecting [D1 ] and [D2 ].

TENSOR NOTATION
NEEDS SOME EDITING
76

Equations of elasticity are expressed in terms of tensors, where A tensor is a physical quantity, independent of any particular coordinate system yet specied most conveniently by referring to an appropriate system of coordinates. A tensor is classied by the rank or order A Tensor of order zero is specied in any coordinate system by one coordinate and is a scalar. A tensor of order one has three coordinate components in space, hence it is a vector. In general 3-D space the number of components of a tensor is 3n where n is the order of the tensor.

77 78

For example, force and a stress are tensors of order 1 and 2 respectively.

To express tensors, there are three distinct notations which can be used: 1) Engineering; 2) indicial; or 3) Dyadic.
79 Whereas the Engineering notation may be the simplest and most intuitive one, it often leads to long and repetitive equations. Alternatively, the tensor and the dyadic form will lead to shorter and more compact forms.

D.1

Engineering Notation

In the engineering notation, we carry on the various subscript(s) associated with each coordinate axis, for example xx , xy .

TENSOR NOTATION

D.2

Dyadic/Vector Notation

80 Uses bold face characters for tensors of order one and higher, , . This notation is independent of coordinate systems. 81

Since scalar operations are in general not applicable to vectors, we dene A+B = B+A AB = BA A = Ax i + Ay j + Az k AB = |A||B| cos(A, B) = Ax Bx + Ay By + Az Bz AB = grad A = A = div A = A = = Laplacian 2 = = i j k Ax Ay Az Bx By Bz A A A +j +k i x y z +j +k i (iAx + jAy + kAz ) x y z Az Ax Ay + + x y z 2A 2A 2A + + x2 y 2 z 2 (4.1-d) (4.1-e) (4.1-a) (4.1-b) (4.1-c)

(4.1-f)

(4.1-g) (4.1-h) (4.1-i)

D.3

Indicial/Tensorial Notation

This notation uses letter appended indices (sub or super scripts) to the letter representing the tensor quantity of interest. i.e. ai ; ij ; ij , where the number of indices is the rank of the tensor (see sect. B.4).
82

The following rules dene tensorial notation: 1. If there is one letter index, that index goes from i to n. For instance: ai = ai = assuming that n = 3.
a1

a1 a2 a3

2 a 3

i = 1, 3

D.3 Indicial/Tensorial Notation

2. A repeated index will take on all the values of its range, and the resulting tensors summed. For instance: (4.3) a1i xi = a11 x1 + a12 x2 + a13 x3 3. Tensors order: First order tensor (such as force) has only one free index: ai = ai =

a1 a2 a3

(4.4)

Second order tensor (such as stress or strain) will have two free indeces. D11 D22 D13 Dij D21 D22 D23 D31 D32 D33 A fourth order tensor (such as Elastic constants) will have four free indeces. 4. Derivatives of tensor with respect to xi is written as , i. For example:
xi Ti,j xk

(4.5)

= ,i

vi xi

= vi,i

vi xj

= vi,j

= Ti,j,k

(4.6)

Usefulness of the indicial notation is in presenting systems of equations in compact form. For instance: (4.7) xi = cij zj this simple compacted equation (expressed as x = cz in dyadic notation), when expanded would yield: x1 = c11 z1 + c12 z2 + c13 z3 x2 = c21 z1 + c22 z2 + c23 z3 x3 = c31 z1 + c32 z2 + c33 z3 Similarly: Aij = Bip Cjq Dpq (4.9) (4.8-a)

A11 = B11 C11 D11 + B11 C12 D12 + B12 C11 D21 + B12 C12 D22 A12 = B11 C11 D11 + B11 C12 D12 + B12 C11 D21 + B12 C12 D22 A21 = B21 C11 D11 + B21 C12 D12 + B22 C11 D21 + B22 C12 D22 A22 = B21 C21 D11 + B21 C22 D12 + B22 C21 D21 + B22 C22 D22 (4.10-a)

03 PREFACE

Whereas there are numerous excellent textbooks covering Structural Analysis, or Structural Design, I felt that there was a need for a single reference which Provides a succinct, yet rigorous, coverage of Structural Engineering. Combines, as much as possible, Analysis with Design. Presents numerous, carefully selected, example problems. in a properly type set document. As such, and given the reluctance of undergraduate students to go through extensive verbage in order to capture a key concept, I have opted for an unusual format, one in which each key idea is clearly distinguishable. In addition, such a format will hopefully foster group learning among students who can easily reference misunderstood points. Finally, whereas all problems have been taken from a variety of references, I have been very careful in not only properly selecting them, but also in enhancing their solution through appropriate gures and A L TEX typesetting macros.

Structural Engineering

Structural engineers are responsible for the detailed analysis and design of:

Architectural structures: Buildings, houses, factories. They must work in close cooperation with an architect who will ultimately be responsible for the design. Civil Infrastructures: Bridges, dams, pipelines, oshore structures. They work with transportation, hydraulic, nuclear and other engineers. For those structures they play the leading role. Aerospace, Mechanical, Naval structures: aeroplanes, spacecrafts, cars, ships, submarines to ensure the structural safety of those important structures.

Structures and their Surroundings

Structural design is aected by various environmental constraints: 1. Major movements: For example, elevator shafts are usually shear walls good at resisting lateral load (wind, earthquake). 2. Sound and structure interact: A dome roof will concentrate the sound A dish roof will diuse the sound 3. Natural light: A at roof in a building may not provide adequate light. A Folded plate will provide adequate lighting (analysis more complex). A bearing and shear wall building may not have enough openings for daylight. A Frame design will allow more light in (analysis more complex). 4. Conduits for cables (electric, telephone, computer), HVAC ducts, may dictate type of oor system. 5. Net clearance between columns (unobstructed surface) will dictate type of framing.

Architecture & Engineering

Architecture must be the product of a creative collaboration of architects and engineers.

4 Architect stress the overall, rather than elemental approach to design. In the design process, they conceptualize a space-form scheme as a total system. They are generalists.

INTRODUCTION

5 The engineer, partly due to his/her education think in reverse, starting with details and without sucient regards for the overall picture. (S)he is a pragmatist who knows everything about nothing.

Thus there is a conceptual gap between architects and engineers at all levels of design.

7 Engineers education is more specialized and in depth than the architects. However, engineer must be kept aware of overall architectural objective. 8 In the last resort, it is the architect who is the leader of the construction team, and the engineers are his/her servant. 9

A possible compromise might be an Architectural Engineer.

Architectural Design Process

Architectural design is hierarchical:

Schematic: conceptual overall space-form feasibility of basic schematic options. Collaboration is mostly between the owner and the architect. Preliminary: Establish basic physical properties of major subsystems and key components to prove design feasibility. Some collaboration with engineers is necessary. Final design: nal in-depth design renements of all subsystems and components and preparation of working documents (blue-prints). Engineers play a leading role.

Architectural Design

Architectural design must respect various constraints:

Functionality: Inuence of the adopted structure on the purposes for which the structure was erected. Aesthetics: The architect often imposes his aesthetic concerns on the engineer. This in turn can place severe limitations on the structural system. Economy: It should be kept in mind that the two largest components of a structure are labors and materials. Design cost is comparatively negligible.

1.6

Structural Analysis

12 Given an existing structure subjected to a certain load determine internal forces (axial, shear, exural, torsional; or stresses), deections, and verify that no unstable failure can occur. 13

Thus the basic structural requirements are:

Strength: stresses should not exceed critical values: < f Stiness: deections should be controlled: < max Stability: buckling or cracking should also be prevented

1.7
14

Structural Design

Given a set of forces, dimension the structural element.

Steel/wood Structures Select appropriate section. Reinforced Concrete: Determine dimensions of the element and internal reinforcement (number and sizes of reinforcing bars). Victor Saouma Structural Analysis

1.8 Load Transfer Elements

For new structures, iterative process between analysis and design. A preliminary design is made using rules of thumbs (best known to Engineers with design experience) and analyzed. Following design, we check for Serviceability: deections, crack widths under the applied load. Compare with acceptable values specied in the design code. Failure: and compare the failure load with the applied load times the appropriate factors of safety. If the design is found not to be acceptable, then it must be modied and reanalyzed.

For existing structures rehabilitation, or verication of an old infrastructure, analysis is the most important component. In summary, analysis is always required.

INTRODUCTION

Tension & Compression Structures: only, no shear, exure, or torsion Cable (tension only): The high strength of steel cables, combined with the eciency of simple tension, makes cables ideal structural elements to span large distances such as bridges, and dish roofs, Fig. 1.2

Figure 1.2: Basic Aspects of Cable Systems Arches (mostly compression) is a reversed cable structure. In an arch, we seek to minimize exure and transfer the load through axial forces only. Arches are used for large span roofs and bridges, Fig. 1.3 Trusses have pin connected elements which can transmit axial forces only (tension and compression). Elements are connected by either slotted, screwed, or gusset plate connectors. However, due to construction details, there may be secondary stresses caused by relatively rigid connections. Trusses are used for joists, roofs, bridges, electric tower, Fig. 1.4 Post and Beams: Essentially a support column on which a beam rests, Fig. 1.5, and 1.6. Victor Saouma Structural Analysis

Whereas r/c beams are mostly rectangular or T shaped, steel beams are usually I shaped (if the top anges are not properly stiened, they may buckle, thus we must have stieners). Frames: Load is co-planar with the structure. Axial, shear, exure (with respect to one axis in 2D structures and with respect to two axis in 3D structures), torsion (only in 3D). The frame is composed of at least one horizontal member (beam) rigidly connected to vertical ones1 . The vertical members can have dierent boundary conditions (which are usually governed by soil conditions). Frames are extensively used for houses and buildings, Fig. 1.7.

Figure 1.7: Basic Forms of Frames Grids and Plates: Load is orthogonal to the plane of the structure. Flexure, shear, torsion. In a grid, beams are at right angles resulting in a two-way dispersal of loads. Because of the rigid connections between the beams, additional stiness is introduced by the torsional resistance of members. Grids can also be skewed to achieve greater eciency if the aspect ratio is not close to one. Plates are at, rigid, two dimensional structures which transmit vertical load to their supports. Used mostly for oor slabs. Folded plates is a combination of transverse and longitudinal beam action. Used for long span roofs. Note that the plate may be folded circularly rather than longitudinally. Folded plates are used mostly as long span roofs. However, they can also be used as vertical walls to support both vertical and horizontal loads.
1 The precursor of the frame structures were the Post and Lintel where the post is vertical member on which the lintel is simply posed.

Structural Engineering Courses

Structural engineering education can be approached from either one of two points of views:

Architectural: Start from overall design, and move toward detailed analysis. Education: Elemental rather than global approach. Emphasis is on the individual structural elements and not always on the total system. CVEN3525 will seek a balance between those two approaches.

This is only the third of a long series of courses which can be taken in Structural Engineering, Fig. 1.10

Introduction

1 In the analysis of structures (hand calculations), it is often easier (but not always necessary) to start by determining the reactions. 2 Once the reactions are determined, internal forces are determined next; nally, deformations (deections and rotations) are determined last1 . 3

Reactions are necessary to determine foundation load. Depending on the type of structures, there can be dierent types of support conditions, Fig. 2.1.

Figure 2.1: Types of Supports

1 This is the sequence of operations in the exibility method which lends itself to hand calculation. In the stiness method, we determine displacements rsts, then internal forces and reactions. This method is most suitable to computer implementation.

EQUILIBRIUM & REACTIONS

Roller: provides a restraint in only one direction in a 2D structure, in 3D structures a roller may provide restraint in one or two directions. A roller will allow rotation. Hinge: allows rotation but no displacements. Fixed Support: will prevent rotation and displacements in all directions.

Equilibrium

Reactions are determined from the appropriate equations of static equilibrium. Summation of forces and moments, in a static system must be equal to zero2 . In a 3D cartesian coordinate system there are a total of 6 independent equations of equilibrium: Fx = Fy = Fz = 0 (2.1) Mx = My = Mz = 0 In a 2D cartesian coordinate system there are a total of 3 independent equations of equilibrium: (2.2)

= Mz

For reaction calculations, the externally applied load may be reduced to an equivalent force3 . Summation of the moments can be taken with respect to any arbitrary point.

Whereas forces are represented by a vector, moments are also vectorial quantities and are represented by a curved arrow or a double arrow vector. Not all equations are applicable to all structures, Table 2.1 Structure Type Beam, no axial forces 2D Truss, Frame, Beam Grid 3D Truss, Frame Beams, no axial Force 2 D Truss, Frame, Beam Equations Fx Fy Fy Mx Mx My My Mz Mz Mz

Table 2.1: Equations of Equilibrium

The three conventional equations of equilibrium in 2D: Fx , Fy and Mz can be replaced by the A B C independent moment equations Mz , Mz , Mz provided that A, B, and C are not colinear. It is always preferable to check calculations by another equation of equilibrium. Before you write an equation of equilibrium, 1. Arbitrarily decide which is the +ve direction 2. Assume a direction for the unknown quantities 3. The right hand side of the equation should be zero

2.3 Equations of Conditions If your reaction is negative, then it will be in a direction opposite from the one assumed.

Summation of all external forces (including reactions) is not necessarily zero (except at hinges and at points outside the structure).

Summation of external forces is equal and opposite to the internal ones. Thus the net force/moment is equal to zero. The external forces give rise to the (non-zero) shear and moment diagram.

2.3
19

Equations of Conditions

If a structure has an internal hinge (which may connect two or more substructures), then this will provide an additional equation (M = 0 at the hinge) which can be exploited to determine the reactions.

Those equations are often exploited in trusses (where each connection is a hinge) to determine reactions. In an inclined roller support with Sx and Sy horizontal and vertical projection, then the reaction R would have, Fig. 2.2. Rx Sy = Ry Sx (2.3)

Figure 2.2: Inclined Roller Support

Static Determinacy

In statically determinate structures, reactions depend only on the geometry, boundary conditions and loads. If the reactions can not be determined simply from the equations of static equilibrium (and equations of conditions if present), then the reactions of the structure are said to be statically indeterminate.

24 the degree of static indeterminacy is equal to the dierence between the number of reactions and the number of equations of equilibrium, Fig. 2.3. 25

Failure of one support in a statically determinate system results in the collapse of the structures. Thus a statically indeterminate structure is safer than a statically determinate one. For statically indeterminate structures4 , reactions depend also on the material properties (e.g. Youngs and/or shear modulus) and element cross sections (e.g. length, area, moment of inertia).

Geometric Instability

The stability of a structure is determined not only by the number of reactions but also by their arrangement. Geometric instability will occur if: 1. All reactions are parallel and a non-parallel load is applied to the structure. 2. All reactions are concurrent, Fig. ??.

Figure 2.4: Geometric Instability Caused by Concurrent Reactions 3. The number of reactions is smaller than the number of equations of equilibrium, that is a mechanism is present in the structure.

Mathematically, this can be shown if the determinant of the equations of equilibrium is equal to zero (or the equations are inter-dependent).

TRUSSES

3.1.1

Introduction
Assumptions

1 Cables and trusses are 2D or 3D structures composed of an assemblage of simple one dimensional components which transfer only axial forces along their axis. 2

Cables can carry only tensile forces, trusses can carry tensile and compressive forces. Cables tend to be exible, and hence, they tend to oscillate and therefore must be stiened. Trusses are extensively used for bridges, long span roofs, electric tower, space structures. For trusses, it is assumed that 1. Bars are pin-connected 2. Joints are frictionless hinges1 . 3. Loads are applied at the joints only.

A truss would typically be composed of triangular elements with the bars on the upper chord under compression and those along the lower chord under tension. Depending on the orientation of the diagonals, they can be under either tension or compression. Fig. 3.1 illustrates some of the most common types of trusses.

8 It can be easily determined that in a Pratt truss, the diagonal members are under tension, while in a Howe truss, they are in compression. Thus, the Pratt design is an excellent choice for steel whose members are slender and long diagonal member being in tension are not prone to buckling. The vertical members are less likely to buckle because they are shorter. On the other hand the Howe truss is often preferred for for heavy timber trusses. 9

In a truss analysis or design, we seek to determine the internal force along each member, Fig. 3.2

3.1.2

Basic Relations

1 In practice the bars are riveted, bolted, or welded directly to each other or to gusset plates, thus the bars are not free to rotate and so-called secondary bending moments are developed at the bars. Another source of secondary moments is the dead weight of the element.

Trusses
Determinacy and Stability

Trusses are statically determinate when all the bar forces can be determined from the equations of statics alone. Otherwise the truss is statically indeterminate.

A truss may be statically/externally determinate or indeterminate with respect to the reactions (more than 3 or 6 reactions in 2D or 3D problems respectively). A truss may be internally determinate or indeterminate, Table 3.1.

If we refer to j as the number of joints, R the number of reactions and m the number of members, then we would have a total of m + R unknowns and 2j (or 3j) equations of statics (2D or 3D at each joint). If we do not have enough equations of statics then the problem is indeterminate, if we have too many equations then the truss is unstable, Table 3.1. 2D 3D Static Indeterminacy External R>3 R>6 Internal m + R > 2j m + R > 3j Unstable m + R < 2j m + R < 3j Table 3.1: Static Determinacy and Stability of Trusses

If m < 2j 3 (in 2D) the truss is not internally stable, and it will not remain a rigid body when it is detached from its supports. However, when attached to the supports, the truss will be rigid.

Since each joint is pin-connected, we can apply M = 0 at each one of them. Furthermore, summation of forces applied on a joint must be equal to zero. For 2D trusses the external equations of equilibrium which can be used to determine the reactions are FX = 0, FY = 0 and MZ = 0. For 3D trusses the available equations are FX = 0, FY = 0, FZ = 0 and MX = 0, MY = 0, MZ = 0. For a 2D truss we have 2 equations of equilibrium FX = 0 and FY = 0 which can be applied at each joint. For 3D trusses we would have three equations: FX = 0, FY = 0 and FZ = 0.

Fig. 3.3 shows a truss with 4 reactions, thus it is externally indeterminate. This truss has 6 joints (j = 6), 4 reactions (R = 4) and 9 members (m = 9). Thus we have a total of m + R = 9 + 4 = 13 unknowns and 2 j = 2 6 = 12 equations of equilibrium, thus the truss is statically indeterminate. There are two methods of analysis for statically determinate trusses 1. The Method of joints 2. The Method of sections

For each joint, and starting with the loaded ones, apply the appropriate equations of equilibrium (Fx and Fy in 2D; Fx , Fy and Fz in 3D). 5. Because truss elements can only carry axial forces, the resultant force (F = Fx + Fy ) must be along the member, Fig. 3.4. Fx F Fy = = L Lx Ly
21

(3.1)

Always keep track of the x and y components of a member force (Fx , Fy ), as those might be needed later on when considering the force equilibrium at another joint to which the member is connected.

Figure 3.4: X and Y Components of Truss Forces

This method should be used when all member forces must be determined.

In truss analysis, there is no sign convention. A member is assumed to be under tension (or compression). If after analysis, the force is found to be negative, then this would imply that the wrong assumption was made, and that the member should have been under compression (or tension). On a free body diagram, the internal forces are represented by arrow acting on the joints and not as end forces on the element itself. That is for tension, the arrow is pointing away from the joint, and for compression toward the joint, Fig. 3.5. Structural Analysis

The advantage of this method, is that once the [B] matrix has been inverted, we can readily reanalyze the same structure for dierent load cases. With the new design codes in which dead loads and live loads are separately factored (Chapter ??), this method can save substantial reanalysis eort. Furthermore, when deections are determined by the virtual force method (Chapter 7), two analysis with two dierent loads are required. This method may be the only one appropriate to analyze statically determinate trusses which solutions defy the previous two methods, Fig. 3.8.

Method of Sections

When only forces in selected members (away from loaded joints) is to be determined, this method should be used. This method can be summarized as follows 1. Cut the truss into two substructures by an imaginary line (not necessarily straight) such that it will at least intersect the member for which force is to be determined. 2. Consider either one of the two substructures as the free body 3. Each substructure must remain in equilibrium. Apply the equations of equilibrium (a) Summation of moments about a particular point (usually the intersection of 2 cut members) would permit the determination of other member forces (b) Summation of forces is usually used to determine forces in inclined members

4.1 Funicular Polygons

1 A cable is a slender exible member with zero or negligible exural stiness, thus it can only transmit tensile forces1 . 2 The tensile force at any point acts in the direction of the tangent to the cable (as any other component will cause bending). 3

Its strength stems from its ability to undergo extensive changes in slope at the point of load application.

4 Cables resist vertical forces by undergoing sag (h) and thus developing tensile forces. The horizontal component of this force (H) is called thrust. 5

The distance between the cable supports is called the chord. The sag to span ratio is denoted by r= h l (4.1)

7 When a set of concentrated loads is applied to a cable of negligible weight, then the cable deects into a series of linear segments and the resulting shape is called the funicular polygon. 8

If a cable supports vertical forces only, then the horizontal component H of the cable tension T remains constant. Example 4-1: Funicular Cable Structure Determine the reactions and the tensions for the cable structure shown below.

to the zero exural rigidity it will buckle under axial compressive forces.

Solution: We have 4 external reactions, however the horizontal ones are equal and we can use any one of a number of equations of conditions in addition to the three equations of equilibrium. First, we solve for Ay , Dy and H = Ax = Dx . For this problem we could use the following 3 equations of static equilibrium Fx = Fy = M = 0, however since we do not have any force in the x direction, the second equation is of no avail. Instead we will consider the following set Fy = MA = MD = 0 1. First we solve for Dy (+ ) MA = 0; 12(30) + 6(70) Dy (100) = 0 Dy = 7.8 k 2. Then we solve for Ay (+ Fy = 0; Ay 12 6 + 7.8 = 0 Ay = 10.2 k ) 3. Solve for the horizontal force (+ ) MB = 0; Ay (30) H(6) = 0 H = 51 k 4.

Let us consider a cable with distributed load p(x) per unit horizontal projection of the cable length2 .

where V is the vertical component of the cable tension at x3 . Because the cable must be tangent to T , we have V tan = (4.8) H
10

Substituting into Eq. 4.7-b yields d(H tan ) + qdx = 0 (4.9) (4.10)

d (H tan ) = q dx Since H is constant (no horizontal load is applied), this last equation can be rewritten as H d (tan ) = q dx

For a cable subjected to a uniform load p. we can determine its shape by double integration of Eq. 4.12 Hy Hy = = qx + C1 qx2 + C1 x + C2 2 (4.13-a) (4.13-b)

To solve for C1 and C2 this last equation must satisfy the boundary conditions: y = 0 at x = 0 and at x = L C2 = 0 and C1 = qL . Thus 2 q (4.14) Hy = x(L x) 2
13 This equation gives the shape y(x) in terms of the horizontal force H, it can be rewritten in terms of the maximum sag h which occurs at midspan, hence at x = L we would have4 2

Hh =

(4.15)

This relation clearly shows that the horizontal force is inversely proportional to the sag h, as h . Furthermore, this equation can be rewritten as 8h qL = H L (4.16)

and combining this equation with Eq. 4.1 we obtain qL = 8r H

(4.17)

Combining Eq. 4.14 and 4.15 we obtain y= 4hx (L x) L2 (4.18)

If we shift the origin to midspan, and reverse y, then 4h 2 x L2 (4.19)

Thus the cable assumes a parabolic shape (as the moment diagram of the applied load).

Let us consider now the case where the cable is subjected to its own weight (plus ice and wind if any). We would have to replace qdx by qds in Eq. 4.7-b dV + qds = 0 (4.22)

The dierential equation for this new case will be derived exactly as before, but we substitute qdx by qds, thus Eq. 4.12 becomes d2 y q ds = 2 dx H dx

Historical Note

It should be mentioned that solution of this problem constitued one of the major mathematical/Mechanics challenges of the early 18th century. Around 1684, dierential and integral calculus took their rst eective forms, and those powerful new techniques allowed scientists to tackle complex problems for the rst time, (Penvenuto 1991). One of these problems was the solution to the catenary problem as presented by Jakob Bernouilli. Immediately thereafter, Leibniz presented a solution based on innitesimal calculus, another one was presented by Huygens. Finally, the brother of the challenger, Johann Bernoulli did also present a solution. Structural Analysis

Huygens solution was complex and relied on geometrical arguments. The one of Leibniz was ellegant and correct (y/a = (bx/a + bx/a )/2 (we recognize Eq. 4.31 albeit written in slightly dierent form, Fig. 4.3. Finally, Bernoulli presented two correct solution, and in his solution he did for the rst time express

Case Study: George Washington Bridge

Adapted from (Billington and Mark 1983) The George Washington bridge, is a suspension bridge spanning the Hudson river from New York City to New Jersey. It was completed in 1931 with a central span of 3,500 ft (at the time the worlds longest span). The bridge was designed by O.H. Amman, who had emigrated from Switzerland. In 1962 the deck was stiened with the addition of a lower deck.

There are two cables of three feet diameter on each side of the bridge. The centers of each pair are 9 ft apart, and the pairs themselves are 106 ft apart. We will assume a span width of 100 ft. The cables are idealized as supported by rollers at the top of the towers, hence the horizontal components of the forces in each side of the cable must be equal (their vertical components will add up). The cables support the road deck which is hung by suspenders attached at the cables. The cables are made of 26,474 steel wires, each 0.196 inch in diameter. They are continuous over the tower supports and are rmly anchored in both banks by huge blocks of concrete, the anchors.
I Because the cables are much longer than they are thick (small L ), they can be idealized as perfectly exible members with no shear/bending resistance but with high axial strength.

Loads

The dead load is composed of the weight of the deck and the cables and is estimated at 390 and 400 psf respectively for the central and side spans respectively. Assuming an average width of 100 ft, this would be equivalent to DL = (390) psf(100) ft for the main span and 40 k/ft for the side ones.

For highway bridges, design loads are given by the AASHTO (Association of American State Highway Transportation Ocials). The HS-20 truck is often used for the design of bridges on main highways, Fig. 4.5. Either the design truck with specied axle loads and spacing must be used or the equivalent uniform load and concentrated load. This loading must be placed such that maximum stresses are produced.

INTERNAL FORCES IN STRUCTURES

1 This chapter will start as a review of shear and moment diagrams which you have studied in both Statics and Strength of Materials, and will proceed with the analysis of statically determinate frames, arches and grids. 2 By the end of this lecture, you should be able to draw the shear, moment and torsion (when applicable) diagrams for each member of a structure. 3 Those diagrams will subsequently be used for member design. For instance, for exural design, we will consider the section subjected to the highest moment, and make sure that the internal moment is equal and opposite to the external one. For the ASD method, the basic beam equation (derived in Strength of Materials) = MC , (where M would be the design moment obtained from the moment diagram) would I have to be satised. 4 Some of the examples rst analyzed in chapter 2 (Reactions), will be revisited here. Later on, we will determine the deections of those same problems.

Design Sign Conventions

Before we (re)derive the Shear-Moment relations, let us arbitrarily dene a sign convention. The sign convention adopted here, is the one commonly used for design purposes1 . With reference to Fig. 5.1

2D: Load Positive along the beams local y axis (assuming a right hand side convention), that is positive upward. Axial: tension positive. Flexure A positive moment is one which causes tension in the lower bers, and compression in the upper ones. Alternatively, moments are drawn on the compression side (useful to keep in mind for frames). Shear A positive shear force is one which is up on a negative face, or down on a positive one. Alternatively, a pair of positive shear forces will cause clockwise rotation. Torsion Counterclockwise positive 3D: Use double arrow vectors (and NOT curved arrows). Forces and moments (including torsions) are dened with respect to a right hand side coordinate system, Fig. ??.
1 Later

on, in more advanced analysis courses we will use a dierent one.

Load, Shear, Moment Relations

8 Let us (re)derive the basic relations between load, shear and moment. Considering an innitesimal length dx of a beam subjected to a positive load2 w(x), Fig. 5.3. The innitesimal section must also be

Figure 5.3: Free Body Diagram of an Innitesimal Beam Segment in equilibrium.

There are no axial forces, thus we only have two equations of equilibrium to satisfy Fy = 0 and Mz = 0.

Since dx is innitesimally small, the small variation in load along it can be neglected, therefore we assume w(x) to be constant along dx. To denote that a small change in shear and moment occurs over the length dx of the element, we add the dierential quantities dVx and dMx to Vx and Mx on the right face. Next considering the rst equation of equilibrium (+ Fy = 0 Vx + wx dx (Vx + dVx ) = 0 ) or dV = w(x) dx The slope of the shear curve at any point along the axis of a member is given by the load curve at that point. (5.1)

Similarly dx (Mx + dMx ) = 0 (+ ) MO = 0 Mx + Vx dx wx dx 2

Neglecting the dx2 term, this simplies to dM = V (x) dx The slope of the moment curve at any point along the axis of a member is given by the shear at that point.

Shear:

510

INTERNAL FORCES IN STRUCTURES

1. For A B, the shear is constant, equal to the horizontal reaction at A and negative according to our previously dened sign convention, VA = 36 k 2. For member B C at B, the shear must be equal to the vertical force which was transmitted along A B, and which is equal to the vertical reaction at A, VB = 64.06. 3. Since B C is subjected to a uniform negative load, the shear along B C will have a slope equal to 3 and in terms of x (measured from B to C) is equal to VBC (x) = 64.06 3x 4. The shear along C D is obtained by decomposing the vertical reaction at D into axial and shear components. Thus at D the shear is equal to 3 52.96 = 31.78 k and is negative. Based 5 on our sign convention for the load, the slope of the shear must be equal to 3 along C D. Thus the shear at point C is such that Vc 5 9(3) = 31.78 or Vc = 13.22. The equation for 3 the shear is given by (for x going from C to D) V = 13.22 3x 5. We check our calculations by verifying equilibrium of node C (+ (+ Moment: 1. Along A B, the moment is zero at A (since we have a hinge), and its slope is equal to the shear, thus at B the moment is equal to (36)(12) = 432 k.ft 2. Along B C, the moment is equal to

Draw the shear and moment diagrams 3. Locate and compute maximum internal bending moments 4. If this is a reinforced concrete frame, show the location of the reinforcement.

Solution: The hydrostatic pressure causes lateral forces on the vertical members which can be treated as cantilevers xed at the lower end. The pressure is linear and is given by p = h. Since each frame supports a 2 ft wide slice of the ume, the equation for w (pounds/foot) is w = = (2)(62.4)(h) 124.8h lbs/ft

At the base w = (124.8)(6) = 749 lbs/ft = .749 k/ft Note that this is both the lateral pressure on the end walls as well as the uniform load on the horizontal members.

In this particular problem, rather than starting by determining the reactions, it is easier to determine the internal forces at the end of each member starting with member C D. Note that temporarily we adopt a sign convention which is compatible with the local coordinate systems. C-D Fy Fz My Mz B-C Fx Fy My Mz Tx =0 =0 =0 =0 =0 =0 =0 =0 =0 VyC = (20)(2) VzC C My C Mz

DEFLECTION of STRUCTRES; Geometric Methods

1 Deections of structures must be determined in order to satisfy serviceability requirements i.e. limit deections under service loads to acceptable values (such as 360). L 2 Later on, we will see that deection calculations play an important role in the analysis of statically indeterminate structures. 3 We shall focus on exural deformation, however the end of this chapter will review axial and torsional deformations as well. 4

Most of this chapter will be a review of subjects covered in Strength of Materials.

5 This chapter will examine deections of structures based on geometric considerations. Later on, we will present a more pwerful method based on energy considerations.

Flexural Deformation
Curvature Equation

6 Let us consider a segment (between point 1 and point 2), Fig. 6.1 of a beam subjected to exural loading. 7

The slope is denoted by , the change in slope per unit length is the curvature , the radius of curvature is . From Strength of Materials we have the following relations ds = d We also note by extension that s = As a rst order approximation, and with ds dx and =
dy dx

d 1 = ds

(6.1)

= Eq. 6.1 becomes (6.2)

1 d d2 y = = 2 dx dx

Next, we shall (re)derive the exact expression for the curvature. From Fig. 6.1, we have tan = dy dx (6.3)

Again with reference to Figure 6.1 a positive d at a positive y (upper bers) will cause a shortening of the upper bers u = y (6.11) This equation can be rewritten as lim u = y lim s0 s s du d = y dx dx

Whereas the Moment area method has a well dened basis, its direct application can be sometimes confusing. Alternatively, the moment area method was derived from the moment area method, and is a far simpler method to remember and use in practice when simple back of the envelope calculations are required. Note that we can only have distributed load, and that the load the load is positive for a positive moment, and negative for a negative moment. Shear and Moment diagrams should be drawn accordingly. Units of the distributed load w are F L (force time length divided by EI). Thus the Shear would EI 2 3 have units of w L or F L and the moment would have units of (w L) L or F L . Recalling EI EI that EI has units of F L2 L4 = F L2 , we observe that indeed the shear corresponds to a rotation in radians and the moment to a displacement.

ENERGY METHODS; Part I

Introduction

Energy methods are powerful techniques for both formulation (of the stiness matrix of an element1 ) and for the analysis (i.e. deection) of structural problems. We shall explore two techniques: 1. Real Work 2. Virtual Work (Virtual force)

7.2
3

Real Work

We start by revisiting the rst law of thermodynamics: The time-rate of change of the total energy (i.e., sum of the kinetic energy and the internal energy) is equal to the sum of the rate of work done by the external forces and the change of heat content per unit time.
d dt (K

+ U ) = We + H

(7.1)

where K is the kinetic energy, U the internal strain energy, We the external work, and H the heat input to the system.
4 For an adiabatic system (no heat exchange) and if loads are applied in a quasi static manner (no kinetic energy), the above relation simplies to:

We = U

(7.2)

5 Simply stated, the rst law stipulates that the external work must be equal to the internal strain energy due to the external load.

9 Considering an innitesimal element from an arbitrary structure subjected to uniaxial state of stress, the strain energy can be determined with reference to Fig. 7.2. The net force acting on the element while deformation is taking place is P = x dydz. The element will undergo a displacement u = x dx. Thus, for a linear elastic system, the strain energy density is dU = 1 . And the total strain energy 2 will thus be

Virtual Work

A severe limitation of the method of real work is that only deection along the externally applied load can be determined. A more powerful method is the virtual work method.

The principle of Virtual Force (VF) relates force systems which satisfy the requirements of equilibrium, and deformation systems which satisfy the requirement of compatibility In any application the force system could either be the actual set of external loads dp or some virtual force system which happens to satisfy the condition of equilibrium p. This set of external forces will induce internal actual forces d or internal virtual forces compatible with the externally applied load.

Similarly the deformation could consist of either the actual joint deections du and compatible internal deformations d of the structure, or some virtual external and internal deformation u and which satisfy the conditions of compatibility. It is often simplest to assume that the virtual load is a unit load.

Thus we may have 4 possible combinations, Table 7.1: where: d corresponds to the actual, and (with an overbar) to the hypothetical values. This table calls for the following observations 1. The second approach is the same one on which the method of virtual or unit load is based. It is simpler to use than the third as a internal force distribution compatible with the assumed virtual

It requires a proper guess of a displacement shape and is the basis of the stiness method.

Let us consider an arbitrary structure and load it with both real and virtual loads in the following sequence, Fig. 7.4. For the sake of simplicity, let us assume (or consider) that this structure develops only axial stresses.

Thus the exural deformation is 237 times the shear displacement. This comparison reveals why we normally neglect shearing deformation in beams. As the beam gets shorter or deeper, or as L/h decreases, the exural deformation decreases relative to the shear displacement. At L/h = 5, the exural deformation has reduced to 1.33(5)2 = 33 times the shear displacement.

Example 7-8: Thermal Eects in a Beam (White et al. 1976) The cantilever beam of example 7-7 is subjected to a thermal environment that produces a temperature change of 70 C at the top surface and 230 C at the bottom surface, Fig. 7.13. If the beam is a steel, wide ange section, 2 m long and 200 mm deep, what is the angle of rotation, 1 , at the end of beam as caused by the temperature eect? The original uniform temperature of the beams was 40 C. Solution: 1. The external virtual force conforming to the desired real displacement 1 is a moment M = 1 at the tip of the cantilever, producing an external work term of moment times rotation. The internal virtual force system for this cantilever beam is a uniform moment M int = 1. 2. The real internal deformation results from: (a) the average beam temperature of 150 C, which is 110 C above that of the original temperature, and (b) the temperature gradient of 160 C across the depth of the beam. 3. The rst part of the thermal eect produces only a lengthening of the beam and does not enter into the work equation since the virtual loading produces no axial force corresponding to an axial change in length of the beam. 4. The second eect (thermal gradient) produces rotation d, and an internal virtual work term of L 0 M d. Victor Saouma Structural Analysis

7. This example raises the following points: 1. The value of 1 would be the same for any shape of 200 mm deep steel beam that has its neutral axis of bending at middepth. 2. Curvature is produced only by thermal gradient and is independent of absolute temperature values. 3. The calculation of rotations by the method of virtual forces is simple and straightforward; the applied virtual force is a moment acting at the point where rotation is to be calculated. 4. Internal angular deformation d has been calculated for an eect other than load-induced stresses. The extension of the method of virtual forces to treat inelastic displacements is obvious all we need to know is a method for determining the inelastic internal deformations.

7.3 Virtual Work

The truss in example 7-9 the preceding example is built such that the lower chords are shielded from the rays of the sun. On a hot summer day the lower chords are 30 F cooler than the rest of the truss members. What is the magnitude of the vertical displacement at joint 2 as a result of this temperature dierence? Solution: 1. The virtual force system remains identical to that in the previous example because the desired displacement component is the same. 2. The real internal displacements are made up of the shortening of those members of the truss that are shielded from the sun. 3. Both bottom chord members 1 and 2 thus shorten by l = (T )(L) = (0.0000128) in/ in/oF (30)o (12) ft(12) in/ft = 0.0553 in 4. Then, 1 = = P (L) = .25(0.0553) + .25(0.0553) = 0.0276 0.0276 in (7.49-a) (7.49-b) (7.48)

5. The negative sign on the displacement indicates that it is in opposite sense to the assumed direction of the displacement; the assumed direction is always identical to the direction of the applied virtual force. 6. Note that the same result would be obtained if we had considered the internal displacements to be made up of the lengthening of all truss members above the bottom chord.

A prestressed concrete beam is made of variable depth for proper location of the straight pretensioning tendon, Fig. 7.16. Determine the midspan displacement (point c) produced by dead weight of the girder. The concrete weights 23.6 kN/m3 and has E = 25, 000 MPa (N/mm2 ). The beam is 0.25 m wide. Solution: 1. We seek an expression for the real moment M , this is accomplished by rst determining the reactions, and then considering the free body diagram. 2. We have the intermediary resultant forces R1 R2 Hence, M (x) x x 0.118x2 2 3 2 3 = 47.2x 1.76x 0.0393x = 47.2x 3.54x (7.57-a) (7.57-b) = (0.25)x(0.26)m3 (23.6)kN/m3 = 3.54x = f rac12(0.25)x(0.04x)m3 (23.6)kN/m3 = 0.118x2 (7.56-a) (7.56-b)

5. The virtual force system corresponding to the desired displacement is shown above with M = (1/2)x for the left half of the span. Since the beam is symmetrical, the virtual work equations can be evaluated for only one half of the beam and the nal answer is then obtained by multiplying the half-beam result by two.

ARCHES and CURVED STRUCTURES

This chapter will concentrate on the analysis of arches.

2 The concepts used are identical to the ones previously seen, however the major (and only) dierence is that equations will be written in polar coordinates. 3 Like cables, arches can be used to reduce the bending moment in long span structures. Essentially, an arch can be considered as an inverted cable, and is transmits the load primarily through axial compression, but can also resist exure through its exural rigidity. 4

A parabolic arch uniformly loaded will be loaded in compression only.

5 A semi-circular arch unirmly loaded will have some exural stresses in addition to the compressive ones.

8.1

Arches

6 In order to optimize dead-load eciency, long span structures should have their shapes approximate the coresponding moment diagram, hence an arch, suspended cable, or tendon conguration in a prestressed concrete beam all are nearly parabolic, Fig. 8.1. 7 Long span structures can be built using at construction such as girders or trusses. However, for spans in excess of 100 ft, it is often more economical to build a curved structure such as an arch, suspended cable or thin shells. 8 Since the dawn of history, mankind has tried to span distances using arch construction. Essentially this was because an arch required materials to resist compression only (such as stone, masonary, bricks), and labour was not an issue. 9 The basic issues of static in arch design are illustrated in Fig. 8.2 where the vertical load is per unit horizontal projection (such as an external load but not a self-weight). Due to symmetry, the vertical reaction is simply V = wL , and there is no shear across the midspan of the arch (nor a moment). Taking 2 moment about the crown, wL L L M = Hh =0 (8.1) 2 2 4

Solving for H H= wL2 8h (8.2)

We recall that a similar equation was derived for arches., and H is analogous to the C T forces in a beam, and h is the overall height of the arch, Since h is much larger than d, H will be much smaller

than C T in a beam. Since equilibrium requires H to remain constant across thee arch, a parabolic curve would theoretically result in no moment on the arch section.

Three-hinged arches are statically determinate structures which shape can acomodate support settlements and thermal expansion without secondary internal stresses. They are also easy to analyse through statics. An arch carries the vertical load across the span through a combination of axial forces and exural ones. A well dimensioned arch will have a small to negligible moment, and relatively high normal compressive stresses. An arch is far more ecient than a beam, and possibly more economical and aesthetic than a truss in carrying loads over long spans. If the arch has only two hinges, Fig. 8.3, or if it has no hinges, then bending moments may exist either at the crown or at the supports or at both places.

Since H varies inversely to the rise h, it is obvious that one should use as high a rise as possible. For a combination of aesthetic and practical considerations, a span/rise ratio ranging from 5 to 8 or perhaps as much as 12, is frequently used. However, as the ratio goes higher, we may have buckling problems, and the section would then have a higher section depth, and the arch advantage diminishes.

In a parabolic arch subjected to a uniform horizontal load there is no moment. However, in practice an arch is not subjected to uniform horizontal load. First, the depth (and thus the weight) of an arch is not usually constant, then due to the inclination of the arch the actual self weight is not constant. Finally, live loads may act on portion of the arch, thus the line of action will not necessarily follow the arch centroid. This last eect can be neglected if the live load is small in comparison with the dead load. 17 Since the greatest total force in the arch is at the support, (R = V 2 + H 2 ), whereas at the crown we simply have H, the crown will require a smaller section than the support.

Determine the value of the horizontal reaction component of the indicated two-hinged solid rib arch, Fig. 8.8 as caused by a concentrated vertical load of 10 k at the center line of the span. Consider shearing, axial, and exural strains. Assume that the rib is a W24x130 with a total area of 38.21 in2 , that it has a web area of 13.70 in2 , a moment of inertia equal to 4,000 in4 , E of 30,000 k/in2 , and a shearing modulus G of 13,000 k/in2 .

The axial and shearing components of this ctitious force and of the vertical reaction at C, acting on any section in the right half of the rib, are shown at the right end of the rib in Fig. 13-7. 2.

7. If only exural strains are considered, the result would be HC = Comments 1. For the given rib and the single concentrated load at the center of the span it is obvious that the eects of shearing and axial strains are insignicant and can be disregarded. 2. Erroneous conclusions as to the relative importance of shearing and axial strains in the usual solid rib may be drawn, however, from the values shown in Eq. 8.19. These indicate that the eects of the shearing strains are much more signicant than those of the axial strains. This is actually the case for the single concentrated load chosen for the demonstration, but only because the rib does not approximate the funicular polygon for the single load. As a result, the shearing components on most sections of the rib are more important than would otherwise be the case. Victor Saouma Structural Analysis 22.55 = 9.76 k 2.309 (8.22)

8.2 Curved Space Structures

3. The usual arch encountered in practice, however, is subjected to a series of loads, and the axis of the rib will approximate the funicular polygon for these loads. In other words, the line of pressure is nearly perpendicular to the right section at all points along the rib. Consequently, the shearing components are so small that the shearing strains are insignicant and are neglected. 4. Axial strains, resulting in rib shortening, become increasingly important as the rise-to-span ratio of the arch decreases. It is advisable to determine the eects of rib shortening in the design of arches. The usual procedure is to rst design the rib by considering exural strains only, and then to check for the eects of rib shortening.

Because space structures may have complicated geometry, we must resort to vector analysis1 to determine the internal forces. In general we have six internal forces (forces and moments) acting at any section.

In general, the geometry of the structure is most conveniently described by a parameteric set of equations y = f2 (); z = f3 () (8.30) x = f1 (); as shown in Fig. 8.11. the global coordinate system is denoted by X Y Z, and its unit vectors are

Figure 8.11: Geometry of Curved Structure in Space denoted2 i, j, k.

The section on which the internal forces are required is cut and the principal axes are identied as N S W which correspond to the normal force, and bending axes with respect to the Strong and Weak axes. The corresponding unit vectors are n, s, w. The unit normal vector at any section is given by n= dxi + dyj + dzk dxi + dyj + dzk = ds (dx2 + dy 2 + dz 2 )1/2 (8.31)

The principal bending axes must be dened, that is if the strong bending axis is parallel to the XY plane, or horizontal (as is generally the case for gravity load), then this axis is normal to both the N and Z axes, and its unit vector is nk (8.32) s= |nk| The weak bending axis is normal to both N and S, and thus its unit vector is determined from w = ns (8.33)

APPROXIMATE FRAME ANALYSIS

Despite the widespread availability of computers, approximate methods of analysis are justied by 1. Inherent assumption made regarding the validity of a linear elastic analysis vis a vis of an ultimate failure design. 2. Ability of structures to redistribute internal forces. 3. Uncertainties in load and material properties

Vertical loads are treated separately from the horizontal ones. We use the design sign convention for moments (+ve tension below), and for shear (ccw +ve). Assume girders to be numbered from left to right. In all free body diagrams assume positivee forces/moments, and take algeebraic sums.

6 The key to the approximate analysis method is our ability to sketch the deected shape of a structure and identify inection points. 7 We begin by considering a uniformly loaded beam and frame. In each case we consider an extreme end of the restraint: a) free or b) restrained. For the frame a relativly exible or sti column would be analogous to a free or xed restrain on the beam, Fig. 9.1.

9.1

Vertical Loads

With reference to Fig. 9.1, we now consider an intermediary case as shown in Fig. 9.2.

9 With the location of the inection points identied, we may now determine all the reactions and internal forces from statics. 10

If we now consider a multi-bay/multi-storey frame, the girders at each oor are assumed to be continuous beams, and columns are assumed to resist the resulting unbalanced moments from the girders, we may make the following assumptions 1. Girders at each oor act as continous beams supporting a uniform load. 2. Inection points are assumed to be at (a) One tenth the span from both ends of each girder. (b) Mid-height of the columns 3. Axial forces and deformation in the girder are negligibly small.

Low rise buidlings, where the height is at least samller than the hrizontal dimension, the deected shape is characterized by shear deformations.

APPROXIMATE FRAME ANALYSIS

High rise buildings, where the height is several times greater than its least horizontal dimension, the deected shape is dominated by overall exural deformation.

Portal Method

Low rise buildings under lateral loads, have predominantly shear deformations. Thus, the approximate analysis of this type of structure is based on 1. Distribution of horizontal shear forces. 2. Location of inection points.

The portal method is based on the following assumptions 1. Inection points are located at (a) Mid-height of all columns above the second oor. (b) Mid-height of oor columns if rigid support, or at the base if hinged. (c) At the center of each girder. 2. Total horizontal shear at the mid-height of all columns at any oor level will be distributed among these columns so that each of the two exterior columns carry half as much horizontal shear as each interior columns of the frame.

Forces are obtained from

Column Shear is obtained by passing a horizontal section through the mid-height of the columns at each oor and summing the lateral forces above it, then Fig. 9.7

STATIC INDETERMINANCY; FLEXIBILITY METHOD

All the examples in this chapter are taken verbatim from White, Gergely and Sexmith

10.1

Introduction

1 A statically indeterminate structure has more unknowns than equations of equilibrium (and equations of conditions if applicable). 2

The advantages of a statically indeterminate structures are: 1. Lower internal forces 2. Safety in redundancy, i.e. if a support or members fails, the structure can redistribute its internal forces to accomodate the changing B.C. without resulting in a sudden failure.

Only disadvantage is that it is more complicated to analyse. Analysis mehtods of statically indeterminate structures must satisfy three requirements

Equilibrium Force-displacement (or stress-strain) relations (linear elastic in this course). Compatibility of displacements (i.e. no discontinuity)
5

This can be achieved through two classes of solution

Force or Flexibility method; Displacement or Stiness method

6 The exibility method is rst illustrated by the following problem of a statically indeterminate cable structure in which a rigid plate is supported by two aluminum cables and a steel one. We seek to determine the force in each cable, Fig. 10.1

1. We have three unknowns and only two independent equations of equilibrium. Hence the problem is statically indeterminate to the rst degree. 2. Applying the equations of equilibrium
right left Mz = 0; PAl = PAl

Fy = 0; 2PAl + PSt = P Thus we eectively have two unknowns and one equation.

STATIC INDETERMINANCY; FLEXIBILITY METHOD

Figure 10.1: Statically Indeterminate 3 Cable Structure 3. We need to have a third equation to solve for the three unknowns. This will be derived from the compatibility of the displacements in all three cables, i.e. all three displacements must be equal: (10.2) DAl = DSt 4. Finally, those isplacements are obtained from the Force-Displacement relations: = P A PL L = = L L AE = E PAl L PSt L PAl (EA)Al = = EAl AAl ESt ASt PSt (EA)St
DAl DSt

(10.3)

(10.4)

or (EA)St PAl + (EA)Al PSt = 0 5. Solution of Eq. 10.1-a and 10.5 yields PAl P 2 1 = PSt 0 (EA)St (EA)Al 1 PAl 2 1 P = PSt (EA)St (EA)Al 0 1 P (EA)Al 1 = 0 2(EA)Al + (EA)St (EA)St 2 Determinant 6. We observe that the solution of this sproblem, contrarily to statically determinate ones, depends on the elastic properties.

(10.5)

Another example is the propped cantiliver beam of length L, Fig. 10.2 1. First we remove the roller support, and are left with the cantilever as a primary structure. 2. We then determine the deection at point B due to the applied load P using the virtual force method 1.D = =

The Force/Flexibility Method

8 Based on the previous two illustrative examples, we now seek to develop a general method for the linear elastic analysis of statically indeterminate structures.

1. Identify the degree of static indeterminancy (exterior and/or interior) n. 2. Select n redundant unknown forces and/or couples in the loaded structure along with n corresponding releases (angular or translation). 3. The n releases render the structure statically determinate, and it is called the primary structure. 4. Determine the n displacements in the primary structure (with the load applied) corresponding to the releases, Di . 5. Apply a unit force at each of the releases j on the primary structure, without the external load, and determine the displacements in all releases i, we shall refer to these displacements as the exibility coecients, fij , i.e. displacement at release i due to a unit force at j 6.

Example 10-1: Steel Building Frame Analysis, (White et al. 1976) A small, mass-produced industrial building, Fig. 10.3, is to be framed in structural steel with a typical cross section as shown below. The engineer is considering three dierent designs for the frame: (a) for poor or unknown soil conditions, the foundations for the frame may not be able to develop any dependable horizontal forces at its bases. In this case the idealized base conditions are a hinge at one of the bases and a roller at the other; (b) for excellent soil conditions with properly designed foundations, the bases of the frame legs will have no tendency to move horizontally, and the idealized base condition is that of hinges at both points A and D; and (c) a design intermediate to the above cases, with a steel tie member capable of carrying only tension running between points A and D in the oor of the building. The foundations would not be expected to provide any horizontal restraint for this latter case, and the hinge-roller details at points A and D would apply. Critical design loads for a frame of this type are usually the gravity loads (dead load + snow load) and the combination of dead load and wind load. We will restrict our attention to the rst combination, and will use a snow load of 30 psf and an estimated total dead load of 20 psf. With frames spaced at 15 ft on centers along the length of the building, the design load is 15 (30 + 20) = 750 lb/ft.

Figure 10.3: If the frame is made of steel beam sections 21 in. deep and weighing 62 lb/ft of length (W 21 62), and the tie member for design (c) is tentatively chosen as a 2-in.2 bar, determine the bending moment diagrams for the three designs and discuss the alternate solutions. Solution: Structure a This frame is statically determinate since it has three possible unknown external forces acting on it, and the bending moment is shown in Fig. 10.6-a. Structure b Hinging both legs of the frame results in another unknown force, making the structure statically indeterminate to the rst degree (one redundant). 1. A lateral release at point A is chosen. with the redundant shearing force R1 . The displacement D1Q in the primary structure, as a result of the real loading, is shown in Figure 10.4-a. D1Q is computed by virtual work. 2. The virtual force system in Figure 10.4-b produces a virtual bending moment M , which is uniform

7. The bending moment diagram is given below Structure c The frame with the horizontal tie between points A and D has three unknown external forces. However, the structure is statically indeterminate to the rst degree since the tie member provides one degree of internal redundancy. 8. The logical release to choose is a longitudinal release in the tie member, with its associated longitudinal displacement and axial force. 9. The primary structure Fig. 10.5 is the frame with the tie member released. The compatibility

Figure 10.5: equation is based on the fact that the displacement at the release must be zero; that is, the relative displacement of the two sections of the tie at the point of release must be zero, or D1Q + f11 R1 = 0 Victor Saouma (10.19) Structural Analysis

where D1Q = displacement at release 1 in the primary structure, produced by the loading, f11 = relative displacement at release 1 for a unit axial force in the tie member, R1 = force in the tie member in the original structure. 10. Virtual work is used to determine both displacement terms. 11. The value of D1Q is identical to the displacement D1Q computed for structure (b) because the tie member has no forces (and consequently no deformations) in the primary structure. Thus D1Q = (48, 000)(1, 728) = 2.08 in (30 103 )(1, 327) (10.20)

12. The exibility coecient f11 is composed of two separate eects: a exural displacement due to the exibility of the frame, and the axial displacement of the stressed tie member. The virtual and real loadings for this calculation are shown in Figure 10.5. The virtual work equation is 1 f11 = = = = and f11 = 0.308in./k 13. The equation of consistent deformation is D1Q + f11 R1 = 0 or 2.08 .308R1 = 0 or R1 = 6.75 k (tension) (10.25) 14. The two displacement terms in the equation must carry opposite signs to account for their dierence in direction. Comments The bending moment in the frame, Figure 10.6-c diers only slightly from that of structure (b). In other words, the tie member has such high axial stiness that it provides nearly as much restraint as the foundation of structure (b). Frames with tie members are used widely in industrial buildings. A lesson to be learned here is that it is easy to provide high stiness through an axially loaded member. (10.24) (10.23) (10.22) 2

This eect of continuity and redundancy is typical the positive bending moments in the members are lowered while the joint moments increase and a more economical design can be realized. Finally, we should notice that the vertical reactions at the bases of the columns do not change with the degree of horizontal restraint at the bases. A question to ponder is Does this type of reaction behavior occur in all frames, or only in certain geometrical congurations? Victor Saouma Structural Analysis

The structural steel frame for the Church of the Holy Spirit, Peneld, New York is shown below. In this example we will discuss the idealization of the structure and then determine the forces and bending moments acting on the frame. Solution: 1. A sectional view of the building is given in Figure 10.8-a.

Figure 10.7: The two main horizontal members of the frame are supported at points A and D by masonry walls. 2. The connection used at these points is not intended to transmit axial forces from the frame to the wall; accordingly, the axial forces in the horizontal members are assumed to be zero and the joints at A and D are idealized as rollers that transmit vertical forces only. 3. The base joint E is designed to resist both horizontal and vertical loads, but not moment, and is assumed to be a hinge. 4. Finally, joints B and C are designed to provide continuity and will be taken as rigid; that is, the angles of intersection of the members at the joint do not change with applied loading. 5. The frame is simplied for analysis by removing the small 4-in. wide ange members EF and F G and replacing their load eect by applying the roof load which acts on EF directly to the segment AG. 6. The idealized frame is shown in Figure 10.8-b. 7. The dead load on the higher portion of the frame is wAB = 25 psf times the frame spacing of 13.33 ft, or wAB = 25(13.33) = 334 lb/ft along the frame. 8. The dead load on CD is less because the weight of the frame member is substantially smaller, and the dead load is about 19 psf, or wCD = 19(13.33) = 254 lb/ft of frame. 9. Snow load is 35 psf over both areas, or w = 35(13.33) = 467 lb/ft. 10. Total loads are then

11. The frame has four unknown reaction components and therefore has one redundant. Although several dierent releases are possible, we choose an angular (bending) release at point B. 12.

Figure 10.9: Determine the bar forces in the steel truss shown below using the force method of analysis. The truss is part of a supporting tower for a tank, and the 20 kN horizontal load is produced by wind loading on the tank. Solution: 1. Applying the criteria for indeterminacy, 2 4 = 8 equations, 6 members + 3 reactions one degree of indeterminacy. A longitudinal release in any of the six bars may be chosen. 2. Because the truss members carry only axial load, a longitudinal release is identical to actually cutting the member and removing its axial force capability from the truss. 3. In analyzing trusses with double diagonals it is both convenient and customary to select the release in one of the diagonal members because the resulting primary structure will be the conventional truss form to which we are accustomed. 4. Choosing the diagonal member BC for release, we cut it and remove its axial stiness from the structure. The primary structure is shown in Figure 10.9-b. 5. The analysis problem reduces to applying an equation of compatibility to the changes in length of the release member. The relative displacement D1Q of the two cut ends of member BC, as produced by the real loading, is shown in Figure 10.9-c. 6. The displacement is always measured along the length of the redundant member, and since the redundant is unstressed at this stage of the analysis, the displacement D1Q is equal to the relative displacement of joint B with respect to joint C. 7. This displacement must be eliminated by the relative displacements of the cut ends of member BC when the redundant force is acting in the member. The latter displacement is written in terms of the axial exibility coecient f11 , and the desire equation of consistent deformation is D1Q + f11 R1 = 0 8.

12. The solution for the redundant force value is R1 = 14.14 kN . 13. The nal values for forces in each of the truss members are given by superimposing the forces due to the redundant and the forces due to the real loading. 14. The real loading forces are shown in Figure 10.9-c while the redundant force eect is computed by multiplying the member forces in Figure 10.9-d by 2.83, the value of the redundant. 15. It is informative to compare the member forces from this solution to the approximate analysis obtained by assuming that the double diagonals each carry half the total shear in the panel. The comparison is given in Figure 10.10; it reveals that the approximate analysis is the same as the exact

Figure 10.10: analysis for this particular truss. The reason for this is that the stiness provided by each of the diagonal members (against shear deformation of the rectangular panel) is the same, and therefore they each carry an equal portion of the total shear across the panel. 16. How would this structure behave if the diagonal members were very slender?

Another panel with a second redundant member is added to the truss of Example 10-3 and the new truss is supported at its outermost lower panel points, as shown in Figure 10.11. The truss, which is similar in form to trusses used on many railway bridges, is to be analyzed for bar forces under the given loading. Solution: 1. The twice redundant truss is converted to a determinate primary structure by releasing two members of the truss; we choose two diagonals (DB and BF ). 2. Releasing both diagonals in a single panel, such as members AE and DB, is inadmissible since it leads to an unstable truss form. 3. The member forces and required displacements for the real loading and for the two redundant forces

Figure 10.11: in members DB and BF are given in Figure 10.11. 4. Although the real loading ordinarily stresses all members of the entire truss, we see that the unit forces corresponding to the redundants stres only those members in the panel that contains the redundant; all other bar forces are zero. 5. Recognizing this fact enables us to solve the double diagonal truss problem more rapidly than a frame with multiple redundants. 6.

7. If we assume tension in a truss member as postive, use tensile unit loads when computing the exibility coecients corresponding to the redundants, and let all displacement terms carry their own signs, then in the solution for the redundants a positive value of force indicates tension while a negative value means the member is in compression. 8. The calculation of f22 involves only the six members in the left panel of the truss; f21 involves only member BE. 9.

11. The nal set of forces in the truss is obtained by adding up, for each member, the three separate eects. In terms of the forces shown in Figure 10.11 and Table 10.2, the force in any member is given by F = P + R1 P 1 + R2 P 2 . The nal solution is given in Figure 10.11-e. The truss is part of a supporting tower for a tank, and the 20 kN horizontal load is produced by wind loading on the tank. 12. NOTE: A mixture of internal redundant forces and external redundant reactions is no more dicult than the preceding example. Consider the two-panel truss of this example modied by the addition of another reaction component at joint E, Figure 10.12. The three releases for this truss can be chosen from a number of possible combinations: diagonals DB and BF and the reaction at E; the same two diagonals and the reaction at F ; the same diagonals and the top chord member BC, etc. The only requirement to be met is that the primary structure be stable and statically determinate. 13. For any set of releases there are four new displacement components: the displacement at the third release resulting from the actual load on the primary structure, and the three exibility coecients f31 , f32 , and f33 . Judicious choice of releases often results in a number of the exibility coecients being zero Victor Saouma Structural Analysis

8. A careful comparison of the rotational stinesses, and of the moment diagrams in Figures 10.13-f and h, illustrate the fact that exural sections of increased stiness attract more moment, and that inection points always shift in the direction of decreased stiness. 9. The approach illustrated here may be used to determine moments and end rotations in any type of nonprismatic member. The end rotations needed in the force analysis may be calculated by either virtual work or moment area (or by other methods). Complex variations in EI are handled by numerical integration of the virtual work equation or by approximating the resultant M/EI areas and their locations in the moment area method.

Determine the xed end moments MA and MB . Solution: 1. The beam has two redundant forces and we select MA and MB . Releasing these redundants, R1 and R2 , the primary structure is as shown in Figure 10.14-c. 2.

where R1 is MA and R2 is MB . 3. The values of D1Q and D2Q , the end rotations produced by the real loading on the primary structure, can be computed by the virtual work method. 4. The exibility coecients are also separately derived (not yet in these notes) and are given in Figures 10.14-d and e of the previous example.

Example 10-8: Frame with Temperature Eectsand Support Displacements, (White et al. 1976)

The single bay frame, of example 10-7, has a height h = 10 ft and span L = 20 ft and its two suports rigidly connected and is constructed of reinforced concrete. It supports a roof and wall partitions in such a manner that a linear temperature variation occurs across the depth of the frame members when inside and outside temperatures dier. Assume the member depth is constant at 1 ft, and that the structure was built with xed bases A and D at a temperature of 85 F. The temperature is now 70 F inside and 20 F outside. We wish to determine the reactions at D under these conditions. Assume that the coecient of linear expansion of reinforced concrete is = 0.0000055/F. Solution: 1. Our analysis proceeds as before, using Equation 10.11 with the [D] vector interpreted appropriately. The three releases shown in Fig. 10.16 will be used. 2. The rst stage in the analysis is the computation of the relative displacements D1 , D2 , D3 of the primary structure caused by temperature eects. These displacements are caused by two eects: axial shortening of the members because of the drop in average temperature (at middepth of the members), and curvature of the members because of the temperature gradient. 3. In the following discussion the contributions to displacements due to axial strain are denoted with a single prime ( ) and those due to curvature by a double prime ( ). 4. Consider the axial strain rst. A unit length of frame member shortens as a result of the temperature decrease from 85 F to 45 F at the middepth of the member. The strain is therefore T = (0.0000055)(40) = 0.00022 (10.56)

5. The eect of axial strain on the relative displacements needs little analysis. The horizontal member shortens by an amount (0.00022)(20) = 0.0044 ft. The shortening of the vertical members results in no relative displacement in the vertical direction 2. No rotation occurs. 6. We therefore have D1 = 0.0044 ft, D2 = 0, and D3 = 0. 7. The eect of curvature must also be considered. A frame element of length dx undergoes an angular strain as a result of the temperature gradient as indicated in Figure 10.17. The change in length at an extreme ber is = T dx = 0.0000055(25)dx = 0.000138dx (10.57) 8. with the resulting real rotation of the cross section d = /0.5 = 0.000138dx/0.5 = 0.000276dx radians (10.58)

9. The relative displacements of the primary structure at D are found by the virtual force method. 10. A virtual force Q is applied in the direction of the desired displacement and the resulting moment diagram M determined. Victor Saouma Structural Analysis

13. Combining the eects of axial and rotational strain, we have D1 D2 D3 = = = D1 + D1 D2 + D2 D3 + D3 = = = 0.0784 ft 0.1104 ft 0.01104 radians (10.61)

14. We now compute the redundants caused by temperature eects: [R] = [f ]1 ([D]) R1 R2 = 103 EI R3 18.0 3.75 197.5 0.0784 0.1104 = +0.01104 (10.62)

where the units are feet and kips. 15. You should construct the moment diagram for this structure using the values of the redundants found in the analysis. 16. Notice that the stiness term EI does not cancel out in this case. Internal forces and reactions in a statically indeterminate structure subject to eects other than loads (such as temperature) are dependent on the actual stinesses of the structure. 17. The eects of axial strain caused by forces in the members have been neglected in this analysis. This is usual for low frames where bending strain dominates behavior. To illustrate the signicance of this assumption, consider member BC. We have found R1 = 10.6 106 EI k. The tension in BC has this same value, resulting in a strain for the member of 10.6 106 EI/EA. For a rectangular member, I/A = (bd3 /12)(bd) = d2 /12. In our case d = 1 ft, therefore the axial strain is 10.6 106 (0.0833) = 8.83 107 , which is several orders of magnitude smaller than the temperature strain computed for the same member. We may therefore rest assured that neglecting axial strain caused by forces does not aect the values of the redundants in a signicant manner for this structure. 18. Now consider the eects of foundation movement on the same structure. The indeterminate frame behavior depends on a structure that we did not design: the earth. The earth is an essential part of nearly all structures, and we must understand the eects of foundation behavior on structural behavior. Victor Saouma Structural Analysis

For the purposes of this example, assume that a foundation study has revealed the possibility of a clockwise rotation of the support at D of 0.001 radians and a downward movement of the support at D of 0.12 ft. We wish to evaluate the redundants R1 , R2 , and R3 caused by this foundation movement. 19. No analysis is needed to determine the values of D1 , D2 , and D3 for the solution of the redundants. These displacements are found directly from the support movements, with proper consideration of the originally chosen sign convention which dened the positive direction of the relative displacements. From the given support displacements, we nd D1 = 0, D2 = +0.12 ft, and D3 = 0.001 radians. Can you evaluate these quantities for a case in which the support movements occurred at A instead of D? 20. The values of the redundants is given by [R] = [f ]1 ([D]) R1 R2 = 103 EI R3 18.0 3.75 197.5 0.12 +0.001 = 106 EI 18.0 252.5 (10.64) (10.65)

with units in kips and feet. 21. A moment diagram may now be constructed, and other internal force quantities computed from the now known values of the redundants. The redundants have been valuated separately for eects of temperature and foundation settlement. These eects may be combined with those due to loading using the principle of superposition.

Example 10-9: Braced Bent with Loads and Temperature Change, (White et al. 1976)

The truss shown in Figure 10.18 reperesents an internal braced bent in an enclosed shed, with lateral loads of 20 kN at the panel points. A temperature drop of 30 C may occur on the outer members (members 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, and 5-6). We wish to analyze the truss for the loading and for the temperature eect. Solution: 1. The rst step in the analysis is the denition of the two redundants. The choice of forces in diagonals 2-4 and 1-5 as redundants facilitates the computations because some of the load eects are easy to analyze. Figure ??-b shows the denition of R1 and R2 . 2. The computations are organized in tabular form in Table 10.4. The rst column gives the bar forces P in the primary structure caused by the actual loads. Forces are in kN. Column 2 gives the force in each bar caused by a unit load (1 kN) corresponding to release 1. These are denoted p1 and also represent the bar force q1 /Q1 caused by a virtual force Q1 applied at the same location. Column 3 lists the same quantity for a unit load and for a virtual force Q2 applied at release 2. These three columns constitute a record of the truss analysis needed for this problem. 3. Column 4 gives the value of L/EA for each bar in terms of Lc /EAc of the vertical members. This is useful because the term L/EA cancels out in some of the calculations. 4. The method of virtual work is applied directly to compute the displacements D1Q and D2Q corresponding to the releases and caused by the actual loads. Apply a virtual force Q1 at release 1. The internal virtual forces q1 are found in column 2. The internal virtual work q1 l is found in column 5 as the product of columns 1, 2, and 4. The summation of column 5 is D1q = 122.42 Lc /EAc . Similarly, column 6 is the product of columns 1, 3, and 4, giving D2Q = 273.12 Lc /EAc . 5. The same method is used to compute the exibilities fij . In this case the real loading is a unit load corresponding rst to release 1 leading to f11 , and f21 , and then to release 2 leading to f12 and f22 . Column 7 shows the computation for f11 . It is the product of column 2 representing force due to the real unit load with column 2 representing force due to a virtual load Q1 at the same location (release 1) multiplied by column 4 to include the Lc /EAc term. Column 8 derives from columns 2, 3, and 4 and leads to f21 . Columns 9 and 10 are the computations for the remaining exibilities.

Again using the virtual work method, column 12 tabulates the internal virtual work of virtual forces q1 through displacements l where for each bar, l = lT . Column 12 is therefore the product of columns 2 and 11. The summation of the elements of column 12 is the displacement D1 corresponding to release 1. Column 13 repeats this process for D2 corresponding to release 2. 7. The tabulated information provides the necessary terms for a matrix solution of the problem.

12. Using the redundant forces from each of these analyses, the remainder of the bar forces are computed by simple equilibrium. The information in Table 10.4 contains the basis for such computations. The bar force in any bar is the force of column 1 added to that in column 2 multiplied by R1 plus that in column 3 multiplied by R2 . This follows from the fact that columns 2 and 3 are bar forces caused by a force of unity corresponding to each of the redundants. The results of the calculations are shown in Figure ??-c for the applied loading and ??-d for the temperature drop. The forces caused by the temperature drop are similar in magnitude to those caused by wind load in this example. Temperature dierences, shrinkage, support settlement, or tolerance errors can cause important eects in statically indeterminate structures. These stresses are self-limiting, however, in the sense that if they cause yielding or some ductile deformation failure does not necessarily follow, rather relief from th

Introduction
Stiness vs Flexibility

There are two classes of structural analysis methods, Table 11.1:

Flexibility: where the primary unknown is a force, where equations of equilibrium are the starting point, static indeterminancy occurs if there are more unknowns than equations, and displacements of the entire structure (usually from virtual work) are used to write an equation of compatibility of displacements in order to solve for the redundant forces. Stiness: method is the counterpart of the exibility one. Primary unknowns are displacements, and we start from expressions for the forces written in terms of the displacements (at the element level) and then apply the equations of equilibrium. The structure is considered to be kinematically indeterminate to the nth degree where n is the total number of independent displacements. From the displacements, we then compute the internal forces. Flexibility Forces Static Displacement(Force)/Structure Compatibility of displacement Consistent Deformation Stiness Displacements Kinematic Force(Displacement)/Element Equilibrium Slope Deection; Moment Distribution

Primary Variable (d.o.f.) Indeterminancy Force-Displacement Governing Relations Methods of analysis

Table 11.1: Stiness vs Flexibility Methods

2 In the exibility method, we started by releasing as many redundant forces as possible in order to render the structure statically determinate, and this made it quite exible. We then applied an appropriate set of forces such that kinematic constraints were satisifed. 3 In the stiness method, we follow a dierent approach, we stien the structure by constraining all the displacements, hence making it kinematically determinate, and then we will release all the constraints in such a way to satisfy equilibrium.

KINEMATIC INDETERMINANCY; STIFFNESS METHOD

4 In the slope deection method, all constraints are released simultaneously, thus resulting in a linear system of n equations with n unknowns. In the Moment Distribution method, we release the constraints one at a time and essentially solve for the system of n equations iteratively.

Sign Convention

5 The sign convention in the stiness method is dierent than the one previously adopted in structural analysis/design, Fig. 12.3. 6 In the stiness method the sign convention adopted is consistent with the prevailing coordinate system. Hence, we dene a positive moment as one which is counter-clockwise at the end of the element, Fig. 12.3.

Figure 11.1: Sign Convention, Design and Analysis

Degrees of Freedom

A degree of freedom (d.o.f.) is an independent generalized nodal displacement of a node.

8 The displacements must be linearly independent and thus not related to each other. For example, a roller support on an inclined plane would have three displacements (rotation , and two translations u and v), however since the two displacements are kinematically constrained, we only have two independent displacements, Fig. 12.5.

Figure 11.2: Independent Displacements

9 We note that we have been referring to generalized displacements, because we want this term to include translations as well as rotations. Depending on the type of structure, there may be none, one or more than one such displacement. 10

The types of degrees of freedom for various types of structures are shown in Table 12.4 Structural Analysis

Methods of Analysis

There are three methods for the stiness based analysis of a structure

Slope Deection: (Mohr, 1892) Which results in a system of n linear equations with n unknowns, where n is the degree of kinematic indeterminancy (i.e. total number of independent displacements/rotation). Moment Distribution: (Cross, 1930) which is an iterative method to solve for the n displacements and corresponding internal forces in exural structures. Direct Stiness method: ( 1960) which is a formal statement of the stiness method and cast in matrix form is by far the most powerful method of structural analysis. The rst two methods lend themselves to hand calculation, and the third to a computer based analysis.

Kinematic Relations
Force-Displacement Relations

Whereas in the exibility method we sought to obtain a displacement in terms of the forces (through virtual work) for an entire structure, our starting point in the stiness method is to develop a set of relationship for the force in terms of the displacements for a single element. v1 V1 1 M1 = (11.1) V2 v2 M2 2 Structural Analysis

Fixed End Actions

As mentioned above, the end actions developed in a member involve the end displacements, rotations, and the in-span loads. In-spans loads exhibit themselves in the form of xed-end forces. The xed-end actions can be determined from the equations derived above, or by analyzing a xed-end beam under the applied loads. Note that in both cases, the load has to be assumed positive, i.e. pointing up for a beam.

The equations derived for calculating the xed-end actions can be summarized as follows. We recall that, with the x axis directed to the right, positive loads and shear forces act upward and positive Structural Analysis

From Eq. 11.30 and 11.31, we note that if a node has a displacement , then both moments in the adjacent element will have the same sign. However, the moments in elements on each side of the node will have dierent sign.

Procedure

To illustrate the general procedure, we consider the two span beam in Fig. 11.5 under the applied load, we will have three rotations 1 , 2 , and 3 (i.e. three degrees of freedom) at the supports. Separating the spans from the supports, we can write the following equilibrium equations for each support M12 M21 + M23 M32 = 0 = 0 = 0 (11.32-a) (11.32-b) (11.32-c)

The three equilibrium equations in turn can be expressed in terms of the three unknown rotations, thus we can analyze this structure (note that in the slope deection this will always be the case). Using equations 11.30 and 11.31 we obtain M12 M21 M23 M32

Where the xed end moment can be separately determined.

Once the rotations are determined, we can then determine the moments from the slope deection equation Eq. 11.30. The computational requirements of this method are far less than the one involved in the exibility method (or method of consistent deformation).

Algorithm

Application of the slope deection method requires the following steps: 1. Sketch the deected shape. 2. Identify all the unknown support degrees of freedom (rotations and deections). 3. Write the equilibrium equations at all the supports in terms of the end moments. 4. Express the end moments in terms of the support rotations, deections and xed end moments. 5. Substitute the expressions obtained in the previous step in the equilibrium equations. 6. Solve the equilibrium equations to determine the unknown support rotation and/or deections. 7. Use the slope deection equations to determine the end moments. 8. Draw the moment diagram, careful about the dierence in sign convention between the slope deection moments and the moment diagram.

Moment Distribution; Indirect Solution

Background

The moment distribution is essentially a variation of the slope deection method, however rather than solving a system of n linear equations directly, the solution is achieved iteratively through a successive series of operations. The method starts by locking all the joints, and then unlock each joint in succession, the internal moments are then distributed and balanced until all the joints have rotated to their nal (or nearly nal) position. In order to better understand the method, some key terms must rst be dened. Sign Convention

11.5.1.1
46

The sign convention is the same as the one adopted for the slope deection method, counter-clockwise moment atelements end is positive. 11.5.1.2 Fixed-End Moments

Again xed end moments are the same set of forces dened in the slope deection method for a beam which is rigidly connected at both ends. Consistent with the sign convention, the xed end moments are the moments caused by the applied load at the end of the beam (assuming it is rigidly connected). 11.5.1.3 Stiness Factor

We dene the stiness factor as the moment required to rotate the end of a beam by a unit angle of one radian, while the other end is xed. From Eq. 11.10, we set 2 = v1 = v2 = 0, and 1 = 1, this will

We note that this is slightly dierent than the denition given in the slope deection method (I/L).

If the far end of the beam is hinged rather than xed, then we will have a reduced stiness factor. From Eq. 11.10 and 11.11, with M2 = v1 = v2 = 0, we obtain M2 2 Substituting into M1 M1 2 = =

Distribution Factor (DF)

If a member is applied to a xed-connection joint where there is a total of n members, then from equilibrium: M = M1 + M2 + + Mn (11.64) However, from Eq. 11.30, and assuming the other end of the member to be xed, then M = K1 + K2 + + Kn or DFi = Ki Mi = M Ki (11.66) (11.65)

54 Hence if a moment M is applied at a joint, then the portion of M carried by a member connected to this joint is proportional to the distribution factor. The stier the member, the greater the moment carried. 55

Similarly, DF = 0 for a xed end, and DF = 1 for a pin support. Carry-Over Factor

F 2EK(21 + 2 3) + M1 F 2EK(1 + 22 3) + M2

(11.67-a) (11.67-b)

we observe that if one end of the beam is restrained (2 = = 0), and there is no member load, then the previous equations reduce to M1 M2 Victor Saouma = 2EK(21 ) = 2EK(1 ) M2 = 1 M1 2 (11.68) Structural Analysis

1117

Hence in this case the carry-over factor represents the fraction of M that is carried over from the rotating end to the xed one. CO = 1 Far End Fixed 2 (11.69)

If the far end is pinned there is no carry over.

11.5.2

Procedure

The general procedure of the Moment Distribution method can be described as follows: 1. Constrain all the rotations and translations. 2. Apply the load, and determine the xed end moments (which may be caused by element loading, or support translation).
F F 3. At any given joint i equilibrium is not satised Mlef t = Mright , and the net moment is Mi

4. We enforce equilibrium by applying at the node Mi , in other words we balance the forces at the node. 5. How much of Mi goes to each of the elements connected to node i depends on the distribution factor. 6. But by applying a portion of Mi to the end of a beam, while the other is still constrained, from Eq. 11.30, half of that moment must also be carried over to the other end. 7. We then lock node i, and move on to node j where these operations are repeated (a) Sum moments (b) Balance moments (c) Distribute moments (K, DF ) (d) Carry over moments (CO) (e) lock node 8. repeat the above operations until all nodes are balanced, then sum all moments. 9. The preceding operations can be easily carried out through a proper tabulation.
60

If an end node is hinged, then we can use the reduced stiness factor and we will not carry over moments to it. Analysis of frame with unsymmetric loading, will result in lateral displacements, and a two step analysis must be performed (see below).

11.5.3

Algorithm

1. Calculate the stiness (K = 4EI/L, however this can often be simplied to I/L) factor for all the members and the distribution factors at all the joints. 2. If a member AB is pinned at B, then K AB = 3EI/L, and K BA = 4EI/L. Thus, we must apply the reduced stiness factor to K AB only and not to K BA . 3. The carry-over factor is
1 2

for members with constant cross-section.

4. Find the xed-end moments for all the members. Note that even if the end of a member is pinned, determine the xed end moments as if it was xed. 5. Start out by xing all the joints, and release them one at a time. Victor Saouma Structural Analysis

6. If a node is pinned, start by balancing this particular node. If no node is pinned, start from either end of the structure. 7. Distribute the unbalanced moment at the released joint 8. Carry over the moments to the far ends of the members (unless it is pinned). 9. Fix the joint, and release the next one.

10. Continue releasing joints until the distributed moments are insignicant. If the last moments carried over are small and cannot be distributed, it is better to discard them so that the joints remain in equilibrium. 11. Sum up the moments at each end of the members to obtain the nal moments.

It is known, of course, that the nal moment must be zero at this support because it is simple. 5. Consequently, the rst step is to balance the xed-end moment at C to zero. The carry-over is then made immediately to B. When B is balanced, however, a carry-over must be made back to C simply because the relative stiness of BC is based on end C of this span being xed. It is apparent, however, that the moment carried back to C (in this case, -7.0) cannot exist at this joint. Accordingly, it is immediately balanced out, and a carry-over is again made to B, this carry-over being considerably smaller than the rst. Now B is again balanced, and the process continues until the numbers involved become too small to have any practical value. 6. Alternatively, we can use the simplied method. It was previously shown that if the support at C is simple and a moment is applied at B, then the resistance of the span BC to this moment is reduced to three-fourths of the value it would have had with C xed. Consequently, if the relative stiness of span BC is reduced to three-fourths of the value given, it will not be necessary to carry over to C.

7. From the standpoint of work involved, the advantage of the simplied method is obvious. It should always be used when the external (terminal) end of a member rests on a simple support, but it does not apply when a structure is continuous at a simple support. Attention is called to the fact that when the opposite end of the member is simply supported, the reduction factor for stiness is always 3 for a 4 prismatic member but a variable quantity for nonprismatic members. 8. One valuable feature of the tabular arrangement is that of dropping down one line for each balancing operation and making the carry-over on the same line. This practice clearly indicates the order of balancing the joints, which in turn makes it possible to check back in the event of error. Moreover, the placing of the carry-over on the same line with the balancing moments denitely decreases the chance of omitting a carry-over. 9. The correctness of the answers may in a sense be checked by verifying that M = 0 at each joint. However, even though the nal answers satisfy this equation at every joint, this in no way a check on the initial xed-end moments. These xed-end moments, therefore, should be checked with great care before beginning the balancing operation. Moreover, it occasionally happens that compensating errors are made in the balancing, and these errors will not be apparent when checking M = 0 at each joint. 10. To draw the nal shear and moment diagram, we start by drawing the free body diagram of each beam segment with the computed moments, and then solve from statics for the reactions: 12, 9 + 25.8 12VA = 0 25.8 +

3. The only new point in this example is the method of handling the overhanging end. It is obvious that the nal internal moment at A must be 5.0 k.ft and, accordingly, the rst step is to balance out 7.8 k.ft of the xed-end moment at AB, leaving the required 5.0 k.ft for the internal moment at AB. Since the relative stiness of BA has been reduced to three-fourths of its original value, to permit considering the support at A as simple in the balancing, no carry-over from B to A is required. 4. The easiest way to determine the reactions is to consider each span as a free body. End shears are rst determined as caused by the loads alone on each span and, following this, the end shears caused by the end moments are computed. These two shears are added algebraically to obtain the net end shear for each span. An algebraic summation of the end shears at any support will give the total reaction.

1. The rst step is to perform the usual moment distribution. The reader should fully understand that this balancing operation adjusts the internal moments at the ends of the members by a series of corrections as the joints are considered to rotate, until M = 0 at each joint. The reader should also realize that during this balancing operation no translation of any joint is permitted. 2. The xed-end moments are

4. The nal moments listed in the table are correct only if there is no translation of any joint. It is therefore necessary to determine whether or not, with the above moments existing, there is any tendency for side lurch of the top of the frame. 5. If the frame is divided into three free bodies, the result will be as shown below.

Inspection of this sketch indicates that if the moments of the rst balance exist in the frame, there is a net force of 1.53 0.80 = 0.73 k tending to sway the frame to the left. In order to prevent side-sway, and thus allow these moments to exist (temporarily, for the purpose of the analysis), it is necessary that an imaginary horizontal force be considered to act to the right at B or C. This force is designated as the articial joint restraint (abbreviated as AJR) and is shown below.

6. This illustration now shows the complete load system which would have to act on the structure if the nal moments of the rst balance are to be correct. The AJR, however, cannot be permitted to remain, Victor Saouma Structural Analysis

and thus its eect must be cancelled. This may be accomplished by nding the moments in the frame resulting from a force equal but opposite to the AJR and applied at the top. 7. Although it is not possible to make a direct solution for the moments resulting from this force, they may be determined indirectly. Assume that some unknown force P acts on the frame, as shown below

and causes it to deect laterally to the left, without joint rotation, through some distance . Now, regardless of the value of P and the value of the resulting , the xed-end moments induced in the ends of the columns must be proportional to the respective values of KM .

These xed-end moments could, for example, have the values of 10 and 15 k.ft or 20 and 30, or 30 and 45, or any other combination so long as the above ratio is maintained. The proper procedure is to choose values for these xed-end moments of approximately the same order of magnitude as the original xed-end moments due to the real loads. This will result in the same accuracy for the results of the balance for the side-sway correction that was realized in the rst balance for the real loads. Accordingly, it will be assumed that P , and the resulting , are of such magnitudes as to result in the xed-end moments shown below

8. Obviously, M = 0 is not satised for joints B and C in this deected frame. Therefore these joints must rotate until equilibrium is reached. The eect of this rotation is determined in the distribution below

9. During the rotation of joints B and C, as represented by the above distribution, the value of has remained constant, with P varying in magnitude as required to maintain . 10. It is now possible to determine the nal value of P simply by adding the shears in the columns. The shear in any member, without external loads applied along its length, is obtained by adding the end moments algebraically and dividing by the length of the member. The nal value of P is the force necessary to maintain the deection of the frame after the joints have rotated. In other words, it is the force which will be consistent with the displacement and internal moments of the structure as determined by the second balancing operation. Hence this nal value of P will be called the consistent joint force (abbreviated as CJF). 11. The consistent joint force is given by CJF = +27.0 + 23.8 28.4 + 36.7 + = 1.95 + 2.50 = 4.45 k 26 26 (11.82)

and inspection clearly indicates that the CJF must act to the left. 12. Obviously, then, the results of the last balance above are moments which will exist in the frame when a force of 4.45 k acts to the left at the top level. It is necessary, however, to determine the moments resulting from a force of 0.73 k acting to the left at the top level, and some as yet unknown factor z times 4.45 will be used to represent this force acting to the left.

13. The free body for the member BC is shown above. H = 0 must be satised for this gure, and if forces to the left are considered as positive, the result is 4.45z 0.73 = 0, and z = +0.164. (11.83)

If this factor z = +0.164 is applied to the moments obtained from the second balance, the result will be the moments caused by a force of 0.73 k acting to the left at the top level. If these moments are then added to the moments obtained from the rst balance, the result will be the nal moments for the frame, the eect of the AJR having been cancelled. This combination of moments is shown below.

The signs of all moments taken from the previous table have been reversed to give the correct signs for the end moments external to the columns. It will be remembered that the moments considered in moment distribution are always internal for each member. However, the above check actually considers each column as a free body and so external moments must be used. 15. The moment under the 18 k load is obtained by treating BC as a free body:

M18 = (5.77)(12) 17.8 = +51.5 k.ft

(11.86)

16. The direction of side-lurch may be determined from the obvious fact that the frame will always lurch in a direction opposite to the AJR. If required, the magnitude of this side lurch may be found. The procedure which follows will apply.

A force P of sucient magnitude to result in the indicated column moments and the lurch was applied to the frame. During the second balance this value of was held constant as the joints B and C rotated, and the value of P was considered to vary as necessary. The nal value of P was found to be 4.45 k. Since was held constant, however, its magnitude may be determined from the equation M = 6EI/L2 , where M is the xed-end moment for either column, I is the moment of inertia of that column, and L is the length. This will be the lurch for 4.45 k acting at the top level. For any other force acting horizontally, would vary proportionally and thus the nal lurch of the frame would be the factor z multiplied by the determined above.

The 5 k horizontal load acting at C enters into the problem only in connection with the determination of the AJR. If this load had been applied to the column CD between the ends, it would have resulted in initial xed-end moments in CD and these would be computed in the usual way. In addition, such a load would have entered into the determination of the AJR, since the horizontal reaction of CD against the right end of BC would have been computed by treating CD as a free body.

Introduction
Structural Idealization

1 Prior to analysis, a structure must be idealized for a suitable mathematical representation. Since it is practically impossible (and most often unnecessary) to model every single detail, assumptions must be made. Hence, structural idealization is as much an art as a science. Some of the questions confronting the analyst include:

DIRECT STIFFNESS METHOD

Structural Discretization

2 Once a structure has been idealized, it must be discretized to lend itself for a mathematical representation which will be analyzed by a computer program. This discretization should uniquely dene each node, and member. 3 The node is characterized by its nodal id (node number), coordinates, boundary conditions, and load (this one is often dened separately), Table 12.1. Note that in this case we have two nodal coordinates,

Node No. 1 2 3 4

The element is characterized by the nodes which it connects, and its group number, Table 12.2. Element No. 1 2 3 From Node 1 3 3 To Node 2 2 4 Group Number 1 2 2

Table 12.2: Example of Element Denition

5 Group number will then dene both element type, and elastic/geometric properties. The last one is a pointer to a separate array, Table 12.3. In this example element 1 has element code 1 (such as beam element), while element 2 has a code 2 (such as a truss element). Material group 1 would have dierent elastic/geometric properties than material group 2.

6 From the analysis, we rst obtain the nodal displacements, and then the element internal forces. Those internal forces vary according to the element type. For a two dimensional frame, those are the axial and shear forces, and moment at each node. 7 Hence, the need to dene two coordinate systems (one for the entire structure, and one for each element), and a sign convention become apparent.

Sign Convention

The sign convention in structural analysis is completely dierent than the one previously adopted in structural analysis/design, Fig. 12.3 (where we focused mostly on exure and dened a positive moment as one causing tension below. This would be awkward to program!). In matrix structural analysis the sign convention adopted is consistent with the prevailing coordinate system. Hence, we dene a positive moment as one which is counter-clockwise, Fig. 12.3 Fig. 12.4 illustrates the sign convention associated with each type of element.

Fig. 12.4 also shows the geometric (upper left) and elastic material (upper right) properties associated with each type of element.

and v), however since the two displacements are kinematically constrained, we only have two independent displacements, Fig. 12.5.

Figure 12.5: Dependent Displacements

We note that we have been referring to generalized displacements, because we want this term to include translations as well as rotations. Depending on the type of structure, there may be none, one or more than one such displacement. It is unfortunate that in most introductory courses in structural analysis, too much emphasis has been placed on two dimensional structures, and not enough on either three dimensional ones, or two dimensional ones with torsion. In most cases, there is the same number of d.o.f in local coordinates as in the global coordinate system. One notable exception is the truss element. In local coordinate we can only have one axial deformation, whereas in global coordinates there are two or three translations in 2D and 3D respectively for each node. Hence, it is essential that we understand the degrees of freedom which can be associated with the various types of structures made up of one dimensional rod elements, Table 12.4. This table shows the degree of freedoms and the corresponding generalized forces.

We should distinguish between local and global d.o.f.s. The numbering scheme follows the following simple rules: Local: d.o.f. for a given element: Start with the rst node, number the local d.o.f. in the same order as the subscripts of the relevant local coordinate system, and repeat for the second node.

Global: d.o.f. for the entire structure: Starting with the 1st node, number all the unrestrained global d.o.f.s, and then move to the next one until all global d.o.f have been numbered, Fig. 12.6.

1. We make the structure statically determinate by removing arbitrarily two reactions (as long as the structure remains stable), and the beam is now statically determinate. 2. Assuming that we remove the two roller supports, then we determine the corresponding deections due to the actual laod (B and C ). 3. Apply a unit load at point B, and then C, and compute the deections fij at note i due to a unit force at node j. 4. Write the compatibility of displacement equation fBB fCB fBC fCC RB RC 1 2 = 0 0 (12.8)

5. Invert the matrix, and solve for the reactions

We will analyze this simple problem by the stiness method. 1. The rst step consists in making it kinematically determinate (as opposed to statically determinate in the exibility method). Kinematically determinate in this case simply means restraining all the d.o.f. and thus prevent joint rotation, Fig 12.7-b. 2. We then determine the xed end actions caused by the element load, and sum them for each d.o.f., Fig 12.7-c: FEM1 and FEM2 . 3. In the third step, we will apply a unit displacement (rotation in this case) at each degree of freedom at a time, and in each case we shall determine the reaction forces, K11 , K21 , and K12 , K22 respectively. Note that we use [K], rather than k since those are forces in the global coordinate system, Fig 12.7-d. Again note that we are focusing only on the reaction forces corresponding to a global degree of freedom. Hence, we are not attempting to determine the reaction at node A. 4. Finally, we write the equation of equilibrium at each node: M1 M2 FEM1 FEM2 K11 K21 K12 K22 1 2 (12.9)

Note that the FEM being on the right hand side, they are detemined as the reactions to the applied load. Strictly speaking, it is a load which should appear on the left hand side of the equation, and are the nodal equivalent loads to the element load (more about this later). As with the element stiness matrix, each entry in the global stiness matrix Kij , corresponds to the internal force along d.o.f. i due to a unit displacement (generalized) along d.o.f. j (both in global coordinate systems). Example 12-1: Beam Considering the previous problem, Fig. 12.7-a, let P1 = 2P , M = P L, P2 = P , and P3 = P , Solve for the displacements. Solution: 1.

If it takes 4EI (k44 ) to rotate AB (Eq. 12.4) and 4EI (k22 ) to rotate BC, it will take a total force L L 8EI of L to simultaneously rotate AB and BC, (Note that a rigid joint is assumed). 3. Hence, K11 which is the sum of the rotational stinesses at global d.o.f. 1. will be equal to K11 = 8EI ; L BC similarly, K21 = 2EI (k42 ) . L BC BC 4.

7. Next we need to determine both the reactions and the internal forces. 8. Recall that for each element {p} = [k]{}, and in this case {p} = {P} and {} = {} for element AB. The element stiness matrix has been previously derived, Eq. 12.4, and in this case the global and local d.o.f. are the same. 9. Hence, the equilibrium equation for element AB, at the element level, can be written as: 12EI 2P 6EI 6EI 0 12EI p1 L3 L2 L3 L2 2 2P L 6EI 4EI 2EI 0 p2 6EI L2 L L2 L 8 12EI = + (12.15) 12EI 0 L3 6EI 6EI p3 2P L2 L3 L2 2 17 P L2 2P L 6EI 2EI 4EI p4 6EI 8 L2 L L2 L 112 EI

Similarly, pAB = pBC due to the externally 4 2 applied moment at node B. 2. From this analysis, we can draw the complete free body diagram, Fig. 12.7-e and then the shear and moment diagrams which is what the Engineer is most interested in for design purposes.

Local and Global Element Stiness Matrices ([k(e) ] [K(e) ])

In the previous section, in which we focused on orthogonal structures, the assembly of the structures stiness matrix [K(e) ] in terms of the element stiness matrices was relatively straight-forward. The determination of the element stiness matrix in global coordinates, from the element stiness matrix in local coordinates requires the introduction of a transformation. This section will examine the 2D transformation required to obtain an element stiness matrix in global coordinate system prior to assembly (as discussed in the next section). Recalling that {p} = {P} = [k(e) ]{} [K

(12.21) (12.22)

{p} =

Note that we use the same matrix (e) since both {} and {p} are vector quantities (or tensors of order one).
39

Substituting Eqn. 12.21 and Eqn. 12.22 into Eqn. 12.19 we obtain [(e) ]{P} = [k(e) ][(e) ]{} (12.23)

premultiplying by [(e) ]1 {P} = [(e) ]1 [k(e) ][(e) ]{}

(12.24)

But since the rotation matrix is orthogonal, we have [(e) ]1 = [(e) ]T and {P} = [(e) ]T [k(e) ][(e) ]{}
[K(e) ]

(12.25)

[K(e) ] = [(e) ]T [k(e) ][(e) ]

which is the general relationship between element stiness matrix in local and global coordinates. 12.3.2.1

2D Frame

The vector rotation matrix is dened in terms of 9 direction cosines of 9 dierent angles. However for the 2D case, Fig. 12.8, we will note that four angles are interrelated (lxX , lxY , lyX , lyY ) and can all be expressed in terms of a single one , where is the direction of the local x axis (along the member from the rst to the second node) with respect to the global X axis. The remaining 5 terms are related to another angle, , which is between the Z axis and the x-y plane. This angle is zero because we select an orthogonal right handed coordinate system. Thus, the rotation matrix can be written as: cos sin 0 cos cos( ) 0 lxX lxY lxZ 2 cos 0 = sin cos 0 (12.27) [] = lyX lyY lyZ = cos( + ) 2 0 0 1 0 0 1 lzX lzY lzZ

and we observe that the angles are dened from the second subscript to the rst, and that counterclockwise angles are positive.

Global Stiness Matrix

The physical interpretation of the global stiness matrix K is analogous to the one of the element, i.e. If all degrees of freedom are restrained, then Kij corresponds to the force along global degree of freedom i due to a unit positive displacement (or rotation) along global degree of freedom j. For instance, with reference to Fig. 12.9, we have three global degrees of freedom, 1 , 2 , and 3 . and the global (restrained or structures) stiness matrix is K11 K12 K13 K = K21 K22 K23 (12.29) K31 K32 K33

and the rst column corresponds to all the internal forces in the unrestrained d.o.f. when a unit displacement along global d.o.f. 1 is applied. 12.3.3.1
45

Structural Stiness Matrix

The structural stiness matrix is assembled only for those active dgrees of freedom which are active (i.e unrestrained). It is the one which will be inverted (or rather decomposed) to determine the nodal displacements. 12.3.3.2 Augmented Stiness Matrix

The augmented stiness matrix is expressed in terms of all the dof. However, it is partitioned into two groups with respective subscript u where the displacements are known (zero otherwise), and t where the loads are known. Ktt Ktu Pt t ? (12.30) = Ru ? Kut Kuu u Structural Analysis

The rst equation enables the calculation of the unknown displacements. t = K1 (Pt Ktu u ) tt (12.31)

The second equation enables the calculation of the reactions (12.32)

Ru = Kut t + Kuu u

For internal book-keeping purpose, since we are assembling the augmented stiness matrix, we proceed in two stages: 1. First number all the global unrestrained degrees of freedom 2. Then number all the global restrained degrees of freedom (i.e. those with known displacements, zero or otherwise) and multiply by -11 .

Note that this last array is obrained by rst identifying the displacements in global coordinate system, and then premultiplying it by the transofrmation matrix to obtain the displacements in local coordinate system.

Boundary Conditions, [ID] Matrix

51 Because of the boundary condition restraints, the total structure number of active degrees of freedom (i.e unconstrained) will be less than the number of nodes times the number of degrees of freedom per node. 52

To obtain the global degree of freedom for a given node, we need to dene an [ID] matrix such that: ID has dimensions l k where l is the number of degree of freedom per node, and k is the number of nodes). ID matrix is initialized to zero. 1. At input stage read ID(idof,inod) of each degree of freedom for every node such that: ID(idof, inod) = 0 1 if unrestrained d.o.f. if restrained d.o.f. (12.34)

For example, for the frame shown in Fig. 12.10: 1. The input data le may contain: Node No. 1 2 3 4 2. At this stage, the [ID] matrix is equal to: 0 ID = 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 (12.35) [ID]T 000 110 000 100

Assembly of Global Stiness Matrix

As for the element stiness matrix, the global stiness matrix [K] is such that Kij is the force in degree of freedom i caused by a unit displacement at degree of freedom j.

Whereas this relationship was derived from basic analysis at the element level, at the structure level, this term can be obtained from the contribution of the element stiness matrices [K(e) ] (written in global coordinate system). For each Kij term, we shall add the contribution of all the elements which can connect degree of freedom i to degree of freedom j, assuming that those forces are readily available from the individual element stiness matrices written in global coordinate system.

Kij is non-zero if and only if degree of freedom i and degree of freedom j are connected by an element or share a node.

There are usually more than one element connected to a dof. Hence, individual element stiness matrices terms must be added up.

Because each term of all the element stiness matrices must nd its position inside the global stiness matrix [K], it is found computationally most eective to initialize the global stiness matrix [KS ](N EQAN EQA ) to zero, and then loop through all the elements, and then through each entry of (e) the respective element stiness matrix Kij .

Contrarily to the previous method, we will assemble the full augmented stiness matrix.

Computer Implementation with MATLAB

You will be required, as part of your term project, to write a simple MATLAB (or whatever other language you choose) program for the analysis of two dimensional frames with nodal load and initial displacement, as well as element load. To facilitate the task, your instructor has taken the liberty of taking a program written by Mr. Dean Frank (as part of his term project with this instructor in the Advanced Structural Analysis course, Fall 1995), modied it with the aid of Mr. Pawel Smolarki, and is making available most, but not all of it to you. Hence, you will be expected to rst familiarize yourself with the code made available to you, and then complete it by essentially lling up the missing parts.

12.5.1

Program Input

From Dean Franks Users Manual

It is essential that the structure be idealized such that it can be discretized. This discretization should dene each node and element uniquely. In order to decrease the required amount of computer storage and computation it is best to number the nodes in a manner that minimizes the numerical separation of the node numbers on each element. For instance, an element connecting nodes 1 and 4, could be better dened by nodes 1 and 2, and so on. As it was noted previously, the user is required to have a decent understanding of structural analysis and structural mechanics. As such, it will be necessary for the user to generate or modify an input le input.m using the following directions. Open the le called input.m and set the existing variables in the le to the appropriate values. The input le has additional helpful directions given as comments for each variable. After setting the variables to the correct values, be sure to save the le. Please note that the program is case-sensitive.

In order for the program to be run, the user must supply the required data by setting certain variables in the le called indat.m equal to the appropriate values. All the user has to do is open the text le called indat.txt, ll in the required values and save the le as indat.m in a directory within MATABs path. There are helpful hints within this le. It is especially important that the user keep track of units for all of the variables in the input data le. All of the units MUST be consistent. It is suggested that one always use the same units for all problems. For example, always use kips and inches, or kilonewtons and millimeters. 12.5.1.1 Input Variable Descriptions

lnods (matrix) This matrix contains the nodal connectivity information. The rows correspond with the element number and the columns correspond with the node numbers which the element is connected from and to, respectively. E,A,Iy (arrays) These are the material and cross-sectional properties for the elements. They are arrays with the number of terms equal to the number of elements in the structure. The index number of each term corresponds with the element number. For example, the value of A(3) is the area of element 3, and so on. E is the modulus of elasticity, A is the cross-sectional area, Iy is the moment of inertia about the y axes Pnods This is an array of nodal loads in global degrees of freedom. Only put in the loads in the global degrees of freedom and if there is no load in a particular degree of freedom, then put a zero in its place. The index number corresponds with the global degree of freedom. Pelem This an array of element loads, or loads which are applied between nodes. Only one load between elements can be analyzed. If there are more than one element loads on the structure, the equivalent nodal load can be added to the nodal loads. The index number corresponds with the element number. If there is not a load on a particular member, put a zero in its place. These should be in local coordinates. a This is an array of distances from the left end of an element to the element load. The index number corresponds to the element number. If there is not a load on a particular member, put a zero in its place. This should be in local coordinates. w This is an array of distributed loads on the structure. The index number corresponds with the element number. If there is not a load on a particular member, put a zero in its place. This should be in local coordinates dispflag Set this variable to 1 if there are initial displacements and 0 if there are none. initial displ This is an array of initial displacements in all structural degrees of freedom. This means that you must enter in values for all structure degrees of freedom, not just those restrained. For example, if the structure is a 2D truss with 3 members and 3 node, there would be 6 structural degrees of freedom, etc. If there are no initial displacements, then set the values equal to zero. angle This is an array of angles which the x-axis has possibly been rotated. This angle is taken as positive if the element has been rotated towards the z-axis. The index number corresponds to the element number. drawflag Set this variable equal to 1 if you want the program to draw the structure and 0 if you do not. 12.5.1.2 Sample Input Data File

INFLUENCE LINES (unedited)

UNEDITED
An inuence line is a diagram whose ordinates are the values of some function of the structure (reaction, shear, moment, etc.) as a unit load moves across the structure. The shape of the inuence line for a function (moment, shear, reaction, etc.) can be obtained by removing the resistance of the structure to that function, at the section where the inuence line is desired, and applying an internal force associated with that function at the section so as to produce a unit deformation at the section. The deformed shape that the structure will take represents the shape of the inuence line.

COLUMN STABILITY

Unstable equilibrium: for P > k/L, = 0 Thus we introduce a critical load dened by Pcr = k L (14.2)

For large rotation, we would have MA = = Pcr = P k = 0 L sin()P L k = 0 k L sin() (14.3-a) (14.3-b) (14.3-c)

Because there is more than one possible path () when P = Pcr , we call this point a biurcation point.

Continuous Linear Elastic Systems

Column buckling theory originated with Leonhard Euler in 1744. An initially straight member is concentrically loaded, and all bers remain elastic until buckling occur.

For buckling to occur, it must be assumed that the column is slightly bent as shown in Fig. 14.5. Note, in reality no column is either perfectly straight, and in all cases a minor imperfection is present.

Lower Order Dierential Equation

At any location x along the column, the imperfection in the column compounded by the concentric load P , gives rise to a moment (14.21) Mz = P v Note that the value of y is irrelevant. Recalling that (14.22) d2 v Mz = dx2 EI upon substitution, we obtain the following dierential equation d2 v P v=0 dx2 EI

(14.23)

Letting k 2 =

P EI ,

the solution to this second-order linear dierential equation is v = A sin kx B cos kx (14.24)

The two constants are determined by applying the boundary conditions 1. v = 0 at x = 0, thus B = 0 2. v = 0 at x = L, thus A sin kL = 0 (14.25)

This last equation can be satised if: 1) A = 0, that is there is no deection; 2) kL = 0, that is no applied load; or 3) kL = n (14.26)
Pcr EI

Thus buckling will occur if

n 2 L

or Pcr = n2 2 EI L2

The fundamental buckling mode, i.e. a single curvature deection, will occur for n = 1; Thus Euler critical load for a pinned column is Pcr = 2 EI L2 (14.27)

The corresponding critical stress is cr = 2 E

In the next approach, we derive a single fourth order equation which will be applicable to any column regardelss of the boundary conditions. Considering a beam-column subjected to axial and shear forces as well as a moment, Fig. 14.6 (note analogy with cable structure, Fig. 4.1), taking the moment about i for the beam segment and assuming

between the axis of the beam and the horizontal axis is small, leads to M M+ (dx)2 dV dM dx + w + V + dx P dx 2 dx dv dx dx = 0 (14.29)

Note that the rst underbraced term is identical to the one used in earlier derivation of the beams dierential equation.

neglecting the terms in dx2 which are small, and then dierentiating each term with respect to x, we obtain d2 v d2 M dV P 2 =0 (14.30) dx2 dx dx However, considering equilibrium in the y direction gives dV = w dx (14.31)

From beam theory, neglecting axial and shear deformations, we have M = EI d2 v dx2 (14.32)

Substituting Eq. 14.31 and 14.32 into 14.30, and assuming a beam of uniform cross section, we obtain EI d4 v d2 v P 2 =w 4 dx dx (14.33)

(14.34)

Again, we note that by considering equilibrium in the deformed state we have introduced the second term to what would otherwise be the governing dierential equation for exural members (beams). Finally, we note the analogy between this equation, and the governing dierential equation for a cable structure, Eq. 4.12. The general solution of this fourth order dierential equation to any set of boundary conditions is v = C1 + C2 x + C3 sin x + C4 cos x (14.35)

The constants C s are obtained from the boundary condtions. For columns, those are shown in Table ?? The essential boundary conditions are associated with displacement, and slope, the natural ones with shear and moments (through their respective relationships with the displacement).

We note that at each node, we should have two boundary conditions, all combinations are possible except pairs from the same raw (i.e. we can not have known displacement and shear, or known slope and moment). 14.2.2.2 Hinged-Hinged Column

If we consider again the stability of a hinged-hinged column, the boundary conditions are displacement 2 (v) and moment ( d v EI) equal to zero at both ends1 , or dx2 v v = = 0, 0,

(14.37-a) (14.37-b)

these relations are satised either if C2 = C3 = 0 or if sin L = C2 = 0. The rst alternative leads to the trivial solution of equilibrium at all loads, and the second to L = n for n = 1, 2, 3 . The critical load is Pcr = n2 2 EI L2 (14.38)

which was derived earlier using the lower order dierential equation.

Fixed-Hinged Column

Next we consider a column with one end xed (at x = L), and one end hinged (at x = 0). The boundary conditions are d2 v = 0, dxv = 0 at x = 0 2 (14.47) dv v = 0, = 0 at x = L dx The rst two B.C. yield C1 = C4 = 0, and the other two sin L L cos L = 0 (14.48)

But since cos L can not possibly be equal to zero, the preceding equation can be reduced to tan L = L (14.49)

which is a transcendental algebraic equation and can only be solved numerically. We are essentially looking at the intersection of y = x and y = tan x, Fig. 14.7 and the smallest positive root is L = 4.4934,

Figure 14.8: Column Eective Lengths

The most widely used charts for the eective length determination are those produced by the Structural Stability Research Council. The alignment chart, for an individual column, Fig. 14.10 is shown in Fig. 14.11. It should be noted that this chart assumes that all members are still in the elastic range. The use of the alignment chart involces computing G at each end of the column using the following formula Ga =
Ic Lc Ig Lg

(14.53)

where Ga is the stiness at end a of the column, Ic , Ig are the moment of inertias of the columns and girders respectively. The summation must include only those members which are rigidly connected to that joint and lying in the plane for which buckling is being considered.

Hence, once Ga and Gb are determined, those values are connected by a straight line in the appropriate chart, and k is the point of intersection of that line with the midle axis. Alternatively :-) GA GB 4 (Ref. McGuire P. 467). K

Inelastic Columns

There are two limiting loads for a column 1. Yielding of the gross section Pcr = Fy Ag , which occirs in short sti columns 2. Elastic (Euler) buckling, Eq. 14.51 Pcr =
2 EI , (KL)2

in long slender columns.

Those two expression are asymptotic values for actual column buckling. Intermediary failure loads are caused by the presence of residual stresses which in turn give rise to inelastic buckling. Inelastic buckling buckling occurs when the stresses (average) have not yet reached the yield stress, and is based on the tangent modulus Et which is lower than the initial modulus E. Residual stresses (caused by uneven cooling) will initiate inelastic buckling, Fig. 14.12.
