Determine the structure stiffness matrix K for the frame. Take E=29(103)ksi,I=700in4,A=35 in ?2 for each member. Joint (1) is pin connected.
Suppose that K=103M=103[M1M2M3M4M5M6M7M8M9],
where the submatrices M1,M2,dotsM9 are row matrices that are equal to the rows of the matrix M. Assume that units for angular displacements, linear displacements, forces, and moments are rad, in.,k, and k* in. respectively. (Figure 1)
