Abstract
In this chapter, the principles introduced in Chap. 1 are used for the formulation of the general displacement method of structural analysis. Computational aspects are discussed and many worked examples are included to illustrate the concepts and principles being used. In order to show the generality of the methods introduced for the formation of the element stiffness matrices, the stiffness matrix of a simple finite element is also derived.
