Abstract (EN): This chapter deals with the static and free vibration analyses of two dimensional trusses, which are basically bars oriented in two dimensional Cartesian systems. A transformation of coordinate basis is necessary to translate the local element matrices into the structural coordinate system. Trusses support compressive and tensile forces only, as in bars. All forces are applied at the nodes. After the presentation of the element formulation, some examples are solved by MATLAB codes. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
