ecture 5: PREIMINRY CONCEP O RUCUR NYI the K his result, although deceptively obvious, idicates that for a liear sprig system the deflectio caused by a force ca be added to the deflectio caused by aother force to obtai the deflectio resultig from both forces beig applied; the order of loadig is ot importat ( or could be applied first); he is the Priciple of uperpositio or a structure with a liear respose, the load effects caused by two or more loads are the sum of the effects caused by each load applied separately. or the priciple to be applicable to structural aalysis the material the structure is fabricated from must be liear elastic. o guaratee this we typically require the structure to udergo small deformatios.

ecture 5: PREIMINRY CONCEP O RUCUR NYI ctio d isplacemet Equatios he relatioship betwee actios ad displacemets play a importat role i structural aalysis. coveiet way to see this relatioship is through a liear, elastic sprig he actio will compress (traslate) the sprig a amout. his ca be expressed through the simple expressio: I this equatio is the flexibility of the sprig, ad this quatity is defied as the displacemet produced by a uit value of the actio.
ecture 5: PREIMINRY CONCEP O RUCUR NYI his relatioship ca also be expressed as Here (earlier it was K) is the stiffess of the sprig ad is defied as the actio required to produce a uit displacemet i the sprig. he flexibility ad stiffess of the sprig are iverse to oe aother.

We ca express the equatios for the deformatios, ad as ecture 5: PREIMINRY CONCEP O RUCUR NYI Each term o the right-had side of the equatios is a displacemet writte i the form of a coefficiet times the actio that produces a deformatio represeted by the coefficiet. he coefficiets are called flexibility coefficiets. he physical sigificace of the flexibility coefficiets are depicted i figures (c), (d) ad (e) ll the flexibility coefficiets i the figures have two subscripts ( ij ). he first subscript idetifies the displacemet ( i ) associated with a actio ( j ). he secod subscript deotes where the uit actio is beig applied. igure (c) is associated with actio, figure (d) is associated with actio, ad figure (e) is associated with actio. lexibility coefficiets are take as positive whe the deformatio represeted by the coefficiet is i the same directio as the i th actio.
ecture 5: PREIMINRY CONCEP O RUCUR NYI Istead of expressig displacemets i terms of actios, it is possible to express actios i terms of displacemets, i.e., his system of equatios ca be obtaied from the displacemet system of equatios uder suitable coditios. Here is a stiffess coefficiet ad represets a actio due to a uit displacemet. o impose these uit displacemets requires that artificial restraits must be provided. hese restraits are show i the figure by simple supports correspodig to actios, ad.
ecture 5: PREIMINRY CONCEP O RUCUR NYI Each stiffess coefficiet is show actig i its assumed positive directio, which is the same directio as the correspodig actio. If the actual directio of oe of the stiffess coefficiets is opposite to that assumptio, the the stiffess coefficiet will have a egative value. he calculatios of the stiffess coefficiets for the beam show ca be quite legthy. However, aalyzig a beam like the oe show previously by the stiffess method ca be expedited by utilizig a special structure where all the joits of the structure are restraied. We will get ito the details of this i the ext sectio of otes. he primary purpose of this discussio is for the studet to visualize what flexibility ad stiffess coefficiets represet physically.

ecture 5: PREIMINRY CONCEP O RUCUR NYI If the restrait actios are reversed i directio, they costitute a set of forces ad couples that are statically equivalet to the member loads. hese equivalet joit loads, whe added to the actual joit loads produce the combied joit loads show i the ext figure. he combied loads are the used i carryig out the structural aalysis.
