    This course provides an introduction to advanced structural analysis techniques using matrix methods. Both flexibility and stiffness methods are covered, with an emphasis on stiffness methods due to their suitability for computer applications. The matrix methods allow for the analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate plane and space trusses, beams, grids, and frames, accounting for effects such as internal hinges, end conditions, shear deformations, and buckling. Nonlinear analysis and computational implementation issues are also discussed. The course is intended to provide analysis tools suitable for professional applications beyond undergraduate hand calculations.

    The key takeaways are that the course will focus on reorganizing structural analysis tools in matrix form for computer applications and discuss incorporating nonlinear effects. Though computer implementation issues will be mentioned, the course places little emphasis on efficient computational methods.

    The topics that will be covered include statically determinate and indeterminate structures, matrix analysis of structures with axial elements, beams, grids, plane and space frames, and analysis of elastic instability and second-order effects.

    Matrix analysis methods that will be used include stiffness and flexibility methods. Stiffness and flexibility matrices will be derived and used to analyze structures such as trusses, beams, grids and frames.

    course
    COURSE OUTLINE
    The Structural Analysis courses at UG level generally provide the fundamental
    concepts which are suitable for hand calculations.This course primarily intends
    to reorganise the analysis tools for plane and space truss / frame in the matrix
    form so as to make it more meaningful to professionals.
    Both the Flexibility (force) and Stiffness (displacement) methods of structural
    analysis are being covered with more emphasis on the latter due to its suitability
    for computer applications.
    The flexibility method cannot be ignored as it is often necessary to obtain
    stiffnesses through flexibility techniques.
    While these methods are applicable to discretized structures of all types, only
    the frame structures have been dealt with in the present course.
    A comprehensive treatment to incorporating Non-linear effects in structure
    analysis will also be discussed.
    The course places little emphasis on efficient computational methods, though
    computer implementation issues will be mentioned during concept presentation.
