    FLEXIBILITY METHOD FOR

    STATICALLY DETERMINATE TRUSSES

    PROCEDURE:

    1. Assemble the static matrix (A). Use the same techniques being used inthe matrix implementation of the method of joints.

    2. Form the unit load matrix. This matrix contains rows equal to the number

    of DOF and columns equal to the number of translation values beingdesired.

    3. Compute for the equlibrium (b) matrix. This contains the member forces as

    a result of applying unit loads on the locations being desired.

    4. Form fm (unassembled flexibility matrix). This is a diagonal matrix of size

    NM x NM. It contains the member flexibilities ( LAE

    ) on its main diagonal.

    5. Calculate the Global Flexibility Matrix f. It can be shown that the overall

    coupled structure matrix is given by the triple matrix product ( ). The

    f matrix is a square matrix of size equal to the number of columns in the bmatrix (number of displacements being desired).

    6. Solve for member forces using equilibrium equations.
