- Description: The assignment is about detecting structural stability in a 3D truss by applying linear algebra concepts such as rank, column-space and null-space of a matrix. Higher-order thinking is invoked as students try to relate the above linear algebra concepts to the structural mechanics. For example, a vector in the null space of the compatibility matrix is a part of the structure that is not properly constrained from moving freely.
