Question: Using the stiffness method must find the axial forces within members, reactions at the support and the displacements of joints of the truss. The truss

Using the stiffness method
must find the axial forces within members, reactions at the support and the displacements of joints of the
truss. The truss is 75mm75mm5mm steel SHS with E=200GPa
(a) Show local stiffness matrices for each member, the assembled global stiffness matrix, global force matrix and
global displacement matrix. Explain the inclusion of force at node E in your analysis and the reaction force at
node E support.
(b) Use an appropriate method to solve the matrix if necessary (e.g. inverse matrices). and tabulate the results.
