FLEXIBILITY MATRIX METHOD ON FRAMES

Steps for Flexibility Matrix Analysis

1. Identify the Unknown Forces


2. Establish a Primary Structure
3. Apply Unit Loads
4. Calculate Flexibility Coefficients
5. Formulate Compatibility Equations
6. Solve for Redundant Force
IDENTIFY THE UNKNOWN FORCES

No.of reactions = 6 No.of reactions = 4 No.of reactions = 5


No. of Eq. Equations = 3 No. of Eq. Equations = 2 No. of Eq. Equations = 3
D.S.I = 6-3 = 3 D.S.I = 4-2 = 2 D.S.I = 5-3 = 2
ESTABLISH A PRIMARY STRUCTURE BY APPLYING
CO-ORDINATES
APPLY UNIT LOADS
CALCULATE FLEXIBILITY COEFFICIENTS

• If we have three redundant forces Q1Q_1Q1​, Q2Q_2Q2​, and Q3Q_3Q3​,


then the flexibility matrix equation can be written as:
CALCULATE FLEXIBILITY COEFFICIENTS
• Flexibility Coefficients
• The flexibility coefficients fij​are defined as:
• fij​: The displacement at point i due to a unit load applied at the same point
i in the direction of the redundant force.
• fij: The displacement at point i due to a unit load applied at a different
point j in the direction of the redundant force.
FORMULATE COMPATIBILITY EQUATIONS

Solving this equation will give you the values of the redundant forces Q1,Q2
and Q3
