This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to matrix methods of structural analysis, framed within a discrete modeling approach that is well-suited for digital computation. Two principal procedures―namely, the Matrix Force Method and the Matrix Displacement Method―are thoroughly illustrated for one-dimensional structural systems. Among them, the Matrix Displacement Method is more widely adopted, owing to its straightforward extension to two- and three-dimensional structures.
The book demonstrates how displacements, taken as the primary variables, enable the formation of local element stiffness matrices in the Direct Stiffness Method. In this latter approach, individual element contributions are assembled into a system-level representation, permitting the modeling of virtually any complex structure. This direct stiffness methodology underpins the development of today’s general-purpose finite element programs, offering both breadth and depth to structural analysis.
Features
- Establishes discrete structural modeling as the basis of finite element methods, which are now the industry standard for structural analysis.
- Provides a step-by-step explanation of the Force Method, the Displacement Method, and the Direct Stiffness Method for 1D members―such as beams, trusses, plane frames, grillages, and space frames―ensuring a clear and accessible learning experience.
- Highlights Berkeley’s approach to representing joints by employing rigid nodes within a nodal network of interconnected 1D, 2D, or 3D deformable members.
- Offers an illustrative extension through the MAIL (Matrix Analysis Interpretive Language), which enriches analysis examples, exercises, and problems.
Targeted at senior undergraduate and graduate students in structural engineering, this book serves as an essential prerequisite for the Finite Element Analysis of Structures.

About the Author
Muhammad Akram Tahir obtained his B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Lahore. He obtained his Master and Doctoral Degrees in Structural Engineering from Asian Institute of Technology. Dr. Tahir enjoyed the patronage of Prof. Pisidhi Karasudhi, Prof. Worsak Kanok Nukulchai, Prof. Tamon Ueda, Prof. Martin Wieland, Prof. Gupta and many others who are authorities in structural engineering.
Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai holds a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1978 under Fulbright Scholarship. He joined the Bangkok-based Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in 1979, retired as AIT President in 2018 and is currently AIT Emeritus Professor. He returned from his retirement in 2019 to serve as the Founding Executive Director of a specially established Chulalongkorn School of Integrated Innovation (ScII) with unique curriculum to groom talents for the changing world of digital era. Professor Worsak was inducted into the Royal Society of Thailand’s Academy of Science in 2016, the AIT Hall of Fame in 2019 and Chulalongkorn Engineers Hall of Fame in 2022.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
