Axial stiffness matrix of non-uniform Bernoulli-Euler bar element

This chapter describes the procedure to develop the axial stiffness matrix of beam element having arbitrary variation of axial stiffness distribution along its span. To obtain analytical formulation, the stiffness matrix is constructed from the flexibility matrix. A Bernoulli-Euler differential eq...
