The stiffness matrices in local coordinates for three identical structural elements, along with their lengths and young's modulus. The transformation matrix is also given. Using these values, the global stiffness matrices are derived and then assembled to obtain the final stiffness matrix for the system.

Problem 6. From problem 6.7 we get the stiffness matrices in local coordinates as follows: For Element 1: A=6 in^2 L=36 in E=30×10^6 psi I= 2 in^4 For Element 2: A=6 in^2 L=60 in E=30×10^6 psi I= 2 in^4 For Element 3: A=6 in^2 L=36 in E=30×10^6 psi I= 2 in^4
