What is the main variable in the flexibility method?
Think about what we solve for in structural equations.
What is a characteristic of the stiffness method?
Consider what we need to calculate in this method.
What is the primary variable in the stiffness method?
Remember what each method focuses on: forces or displacements.
The flexibility method primarily deals with which type of indeterminacy?
Think about the definitions of indeterminacy types.
Analyze a two-dimensional frame structure and compare the use of flexibility and stiffness methods. What insights into the internal forces and displacements can be gained?
Draw the frame and label your equations and forces.
Demonstrate the process of converting a statically indeterminate structure into a determinable one using flexibility method steps. Provide a clear example.
Consider how many supports you need to remove to reach statical determinacy.
