Matrix Method

The matrix method is a structural analysis method used as a fundamental principle in many applications in civil engineering.

The method is carried out, using either a stiffness matrix or a flexibility matrix. "The flexibility method is not conducive to computer programming" - Weaver, Gere.

Famous quotes containing the words matrix and/or method:

    “As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our day.”
    —Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)

    “I do not know a method of drawing up an indictment against a whole people.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
