Explanation
The Direct Stiffness Method for Truss Analysis in Python, Welcome to this DegreeTutors course on The Direct Stiffness Method for Truss Analysis in Python. The purpose of this course is to equip you with the tools and knowledge to build your own truss analysis software using the Direct Stiffness Method. Upon completion of the course you will write a piece of software to deploy your analytics projects. An understanding of structural analysis theory and manual analysis techniques is an essential requirement for any competent engineer. It informs our understanding of structural behavior and provides a basis for analyzing complex structures.
However, most major structural analyzes benefit from the speed of structural analysis software. Modern structural analysis software is dominated by matrix analysis methods such as the direct stiffness method. In this course you will implement these techniques to build your own version of structural analysis software. The course is divided into 9 sections that gradually work towards our goal of developing a general truss solver. The main goal of this brief introductory section is to set the coding environment and give you an idea of how we approach using and learning Python in this course. We will begin by focusing on the basic forms of elastic behavior. If we do not understand the behavior of the material we cannot understand the general behavior of the building. Therefore the lectures in this section are very important in developing a complete understanding of structural behavior.
What will you learn?
- You will learn how to use the Direct Solidification Method to build complete structural models that can be solved using Python.
- You will build your own truss analysis program which can be used to identify the displacements, reactions and internal forces in any truss structure.
- You will learn about standard models of elastic behavior such as plane stress and plane strain and how they apply to real-world structures.
- You will learn about stiffness factors and how the Principle of Least Energy can be used to determine the stiffness index of any building material.
Who is this course for?
- Engineering students who want an introduction to computer-based methods of structural analysis
- Engineering students who have studied the Direct Solidification Method but lost their way
- Engineers and students who want to see how they can use Python in their work
- Engineers and students who want to build tools to analyze real structures without using commercial software.
