An introduction to matrix methods of structural analysis / Muhammad Akram Tahir and Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai. - First edition. - 1 online resource
"This book introduces matrix methods of structural analysis interactively using computer programs including manual as well as automatic or direct force method extending towards automation. Concepts of stresses, strains, strain-displacement relationship and plane stress and strain in addition to work, energy are discussed. The Matrix Force Method is systematically developed and used for the analysis of beam, and frame structures. It develops Matrix Stiffness Method from basic spring element and extended to analysis of beams, trusses, plain frames, grillages, and space frames. Features: Explains force, displacement, and stiffness via the Matrix perspective. Reviews full programming code for each problem. Provides the modern concepts of force method which leads towards automation of force method like direct stiffness method. Discusses effect of temperatures exclusively. Includes macro language Matrix Analysis Interpretive Language (MAIL) as an extension of Analysis Interpretive Treatise with examples, exercises, power point slides and illustrative problems. This book is aimed at senior undergraduate students in structural engineering"--
