I need help assembling this stiffness matrix. This is a generic stiffness matrix where ho is the outside air and k1,k2,k3 is the conductivity and the n represent the number of nodes in the materials. This is for a 1D wall. Thank you!

Hi Andy,

I don't know the number of nodes. I just want to write a generic code that will build this for any number of nodes like you said. I wrote the code for the small k(K1,K1,K3,etc..) Now I need to create the big matrix [K]. Here is what I have so far:

There is no difference between k(n-1) and k(N-1). n or N is just the # of nodes. I want to be able to size the matrix according to how many layers there are. As you can see in the image below, there are 9 layers and 12 nodes. Again this is a 1D heat transfer.

Thanks for clarifying.

First of all I would like to point out I don't know much about stiffness matrices - I've never had to use them before. There may well be an easier way to do this, however my approach would be as such.

I would start with making my .m file a function - if you set the input to varargin you can pass your function a variable vector of values. This would contain your h_oa, h_ia, k_n & T_n variables. You should then be able to determine the length of your stiffness and temperature matrix, which in turn gives you both dimensions (it is square). You can then initialise with zeros - this gives you a matrix of zeros of the appropriate dimensions.

Then you would need to use a for loop and indexing, placing the variables in as appropriate to build up the diagonal values of your stiffness matrix. As for the temperature matrix that could be made from the latter half of the varargin argument!
