                 The complete stiffness matrix is formed by superimposing [K12] and [K23] as described
                 in Example 12.1. Hence

                                                                      0      0

                 Determine the unknown nodal displacements and forces in the beam shown in Fig.
                 12.1 1. The beam is of uniform section throughout.
