Question:

Form the structure stiffness matrix for the truss in Figure P15.4.

Use the partitioned matrix to compute the displacement of all joints and reactions. Also compute the bar forces. Area of bars 1 and \(2=2.4\) in. \(^{2}\), area of bar \(3=2\) in. \({ }^{2}\), and \(E=30,000\) kips/in. \({ }^{2}\).
