The document shows MATLAB code that is calculating the stiffness matrix and forces for a beam element problem. It defines symbolic variables, material properties, the beam cross section properties, and the displacement shape functions. It then calculates the stiffness matrix for two elements of different lengths and the applied loads, and solves the system of equations to find the reaction forces and displacements at the ends of the elements.
