Análise matricial de estruutras pelo método da rigidez

Abstract

The structural analysis is the research phase of a structure in which it is intended to discover all the internal and external effects that act on it. This process of investigation can become quite laborious and even impractical when performed manually. For this reason the use of software has become increasingly indispensable. This paper will be focused on the Stiffness Method, a modern approach to the classical method of displacement. This method uses matrices to find their unknowns and present their results. Using the computational programming method, an algorithm has been developed that performs calculations of beams and trusses quickly and efficiently. In the examples and results presented here it will be possible to understand the method and its application, as well as the various ways of using the program.
