The document summarizes key aspects of the matrix method of structural analysis. It discusses:
1) Matrix methods model structures as mathematical models with element properties expressed in matrix form. The flexibility matrix method uses redundant reactions while the stiffness matrix method uses redundant displacements.
2) Flexibility is the inverse of stiffness. The flexibility matrix relates displacements to forces while the stiffness matrix relates forces to displacements.
3) Analyzing structures using the flexibility matrix method involves determining degrees of indeterminacy, selecting a determinate structure, analyzing it for loads and unit redundants, then determining redundants from compatibility equations.

Matrix method of Structural Analysis
2. Matrix method
• Matrix method are based on the concept of replacing the actual
continuous indeterminate structure by a mathematical model made
up from structural element having non elastic and inertial properties
that can be expressed in matrix form.
• The method is carried out using either a stiffness matrix or a
flexibility matrix .

3. Flexibility matrix
• The force method is also known as flexibility matrix method
• In this method the unknown to be selected is redundant reaction for
internal force.

4. Stiffness matrix
• The displacement method is also known as stiffness matrix method
• In this case the structure is analysed by taking unknown displacement
as redundant.

5. Action and Displacement corresponds
• An action or a force is commonly a single force or a moment .
• The action can be external or internal.
• The displacement can be translation or rotation.
• The displacement and action are said to be corresponding when they
are of analogous type and are located on the same point on the
structure

• ∆ is corresponding to P but not solely causes by P
• 𝜃 corresponds to M but not solely causes by M
7. Static indeterminacy
• Static indeterminacy means an excess of unknown actions whether
external or internal forces as compared to the number of static
equation of equilibrium available.
• In the flexibility method static indeterminacy must be considered

8. Kinematic indeterminacy
• Kinematic indeterminacy of a structure means unknown joint
displacement in a structure.
• Kinematic indeterminacy is considered in the stiffness matrix method
• Kinematic indeterminacy = 2 = 1 rotation + 1 translation
