CAE 5511 - Analysis of Structures by Matrix Methods3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits Course Description This course presents the matrix stiffness method of structural analysis. Topics include analysis of trusses, beams, and frames; coordinate transformation; equivalent nodal loads; and computerized analysis with emphasis on structural modeling and verification of results. (prereq: CAE 3511 and graduate program director consent) (quarter system prereq: AE 3211) Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Develop stiffness matrices to analyze statically indeterminate trusses, beams, and frames
- Develop computer models for structural analysis using commercial software and evaluate the validity of results
