In a spring system, we follow the Hooke's Law
F = Kx
where F is the force, k is the spring stiffness and x is the net dispacement.
Similarly any complex structure can be though as a network of springs that can have multiple degrees of freedom.
A stiffness matrix [K] relates forces [F], applied at a set of
coordinates on the structure, to the displacement [u], at the same
set of coordinates.
[K][u] = [F]
The locations and directions of the point forces and displacements
are called the coordinates of the structural model.
For the degree of freedom the number of elements in the row and column determines the DOF in the global directions. For each node the DOF is identified. There might be few cases when DOF is restricted by reaction forces.
In physical terms (force, displacement, and degrees of freedom), what do the values in a stiffness...
