QuadraticBar_Element_Matrix: Element stiffness matrix (quadratic bar)

Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

This function generates the matrix for a quadratic bar element. The axis of the bar element is assumed to coicide with the global x-axis.

Usage

1

Arguments

DOF

Degree of freedom for a bar element (3 for a linear bar).

stiffbar

Stiffness of the bar in the form of AE/L.

Value

The 3 by 3 stiffness matrix.
