Abstract

The derivation of element stiffness will be discussed in this chapter. When element stiffness matrix is given, the solution will be obtained through the following process:
  1. 1.

    The construction of global stiffness matrix through the assembling of given element stiffness matrixes

     
  2. 2.

    The provision of the boundary condition

     
  3. 3.

    The solution of the simultaneous equation
