Learning outcomes
|
This course is conceived to provide the students with a clear application of the matrix structural analysis. The presentation of a brief but sufficiently detailed theory of the stiffness method is integrated with a detailed step-by-step solution of the provided examples. A proper emphasis is placed on both theory and examples to make advanced subject matter simply accessible to students. In this course, prior knowledge of the basic structural analysis is assumed. Then, the advanced structural analysis method suitable for computer - aided analysis is incorporated.
Student is able to analyze a strcutural system with matrix methods.
