Σύνοψη

The object of the project was the development of a computer program for the
analysis of two-dimensional frames using the stiffness method. In this report, the
stiffness method formulation is presented in detail, providing all the relevant
derivations from first principles. This report, follows a sequence that the author
considered to be the most appropriate. Each chapter is connected with the
previous chapters through a logical sequence, presenting new definitions every
time, which finally lead to the stiffness method formulation.
The program presented in this report demonstrates how the stiffness method
for two-dimensional frames can be implemented on a computer. It is not a
commercial program. The program was developed on an IBM Personal Computer
using the Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0 compiler. The program should run on most
IBM PC-compatible systems under Windows 95 operating system. A user's
manual of the program is included in the report as well as the program itself on
floppy disk. Also, the listing of the program is available at the end of the report.
The author would like to emphasize that this report is not a computerprogramming
guide. Therefore, greatest weight was given to the formulation of
the stiffness method and less in the presentation of the aspects of Visual Basic 4.0
as a programming language and as a compiler. Finally, anything that has been left
out of the report, was considered by the author as out of scope.
