"The stiffness matrix is a fundamental ingredient of the finite element method applied to the solution of boundary value problems in the theory of elasticity. It relates the nodal forces to the nodal ...

Abstract: In order to solve the difficulties while computing the element stiffness matrix of spatial beam and to improve its computing efficiency, works were carried out by the capabilities symbolic ...

This repository contains Python scripts designed for the analysis of 2D truss structures and bending elements (frames) using the Direct Stiffness Matrix Method. The scripts calculate the displacements ...

Theoretical development of a dynamic stiffness matrix (DSM) based direct damping matrix identification method is revisited in this paper. This method was proposed to identify both the mechanism and ...
