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:
““The matrix is God?”
“In a manner of speaking, although it would be more accurate ... to say that the matrix has a God, since this being’s omniscience and omnipotence are assumed to be limited to the matrix.”
“If it has limits, it isn’t omnipotent.”
“Exactly.... Cyberspace exists, insofar as it can be said to exist, by virtue of human agency.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“As a science of the unconscious it is a therapeutic method, in the grand style, a method overarching the individual case. Call this, if you choose, a poet’s utopia.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
