Frame Problem[edit | edit source]

A basic form is shown below:


Equations derived from stiffness equations:





Globle stiffness equation is shown below:


Q matrix is shown below:


Force matrix is show below:


Matrix for the system is shown below:



The reduced stiffness is


To solve for the displacements


After matrix math.


After solving for the forces the result is
