MATRIX ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES
The objective of this book is to develop an understanding of the basic principles
of the Matrix methods of structural Analysis, so that they can be efficiently implemented
on modern computers. Focusing on the stiffness approach, Matrix
Analysis of Structures covers the linear analysis of two- and three-dimensional
framed structures in static equilibrium. It also presents an introduction to nonlinear
structural analysis and contains the fundamentals of the flexibility approach.

The book is divided into ten chapters. Chapter 1 presents a general introduction
to the subject, and Chapter 2 reviews the basic concepts of matrix algebra
relevant to matrix structural analysis. The next five chapters (Chapters 3
through 7) cover the analysis of plane trusses, beams, and plane rigid frames
