Abstract

Explicit terms for the stiffness matrices, including the effect of transverse shear, of common non-prismatic members are derived. The stiffnesses are formulated from the flexibilities of the element. Comparison of the values derived by the suggested formulation with known results is made. The formulation is highly recommended for small in-house computers, and saves computer time and storage.
