Question 1 asks to develop a program to evaluate the structure stiffness matrix from the member stiffness matrix. Question 2 asks to generate the SJ matrix for a beam and rearrange the SJ matrix. Question 3 asks to calculate the AML vector for a beam under three point loads and a UVL loading. Question 4 asks to assemble the member flexibility matrix for a plane frame. Question 5 asks to describe the steps of the finite element method.
