Question 1: For the plane (2D) truss shown below, evaluate the transformation matrix [T] and the stiffness matrix in the local axis system [KL] of all elements. Use these matrices to evaluate the element stiffness matrix in global axis system [KG] of the members and assembled them to generate the overall stiffness matrix [K of the truss. Modify the stiffness matrix [K] in order to incorporate boundary conditions following the elimination technique of rows and columns. Take E 200 GPa...
