1. The document provides instructions for a structural matrix analysis problem involving a truss. Students are asked to redraw the truss with labeled axes, write the stiffness matrices for each member, compose the global stiffness matrix, and solve for displacements and forces at each node. 2. Stiffness matrices for each of the 5 members of the truss must be written based on the provided axes and included computations for each matrix element. 3. The global stiffness matrix is composed by combining the member matrices and then reduced and regrouped. 4. Students must solve the augmented global matrix and record the displacements and forces at each of the 8 nodes.
