Experimental derivation of stiffness matrix of sheet metal joint

The thesis presents the study on the three-dimensional experimental derivation stiffness matrix of sheet metal joint substructure based on the basic principle of finite element method (FEM). Normally in FEM, the material properties of a complete structural system can be represented by Young‟s modulu...
