3.1.2 Iterative Method – Gauss-Jordan Method

the given system is rearranged as follows.

X1 =

Suppose we substitute an approximate solution ( X) k −1 into the right-hand side of the above
equation, a new approximate solution ( X) k , which is not the same as ( X) k −1 , is obtained.
This procedure is repeated until the solution converges.

3.1.3 Iterative Method – Gauss-Siedal Method
When we calculate a new Xi value in the k-th iteration of Gauss-Jordan iteration, the values of
X 1 ,L, X i −1 are already updated, and we can utilize the updated values to accelerate conver-
gence rate, which leads to the Gauss-Siedal Method.

Read Chapter 11 (pp.420~ 428) of Elementary Structural Analysis 4th Edition by C .H. Norris
et al very carefully. In this note an overbarred variable denotes a virtual quantity. The vir-
tual displacement field should satisfy the displacement boundary conditions of supports if
specified. For beam problems, displacement boundary conditions include boundary condi-
tions for rotational angle. Variables with superscript e denote the exact solution that satisfies
the equilibrium equation(s).

In the above equation, the equality sign holds if and only if ∆ = 0 . Therefore the total

Since the equation in the box represents the total virtual work in a beam, the total potential energy
of a beam becomes minimum for all virtual displacement fields when the principle of virtu-
al work holds. In the above equation, the equality sign holds if and only if w = 0 .

In case that there is no support settlement, the boundary terms in above equation vanishes
identically since either virtual displacement including virtual rotational angle or corre-
sponding forces (moment and shear) vanish at supports. The principle of virtual work
yields the displacement of an arbitrary point ~
x in a beam by applying an unit load at ~

and by using the reciprocal theorem.
