Stiffness
■ Axial Stiffness
– “Force required to compress the member by unit displacement or elongate the
member by unit displacement.”
– It depends upon the Elastic Modulus, area of cross section and length of the
member.
– Prominent in space trusses (struts) of a unit cell.
■ Bending Stiffness
– “Moment Required to produce unit rotation.”
– It depends upon Elastic Modulus, Moment of Inertia and Length of the
member.
– Prominent in beam structures.
Compression Test
■ To determine the axial stiffness
