Equation (7) looks like the stiffness equations found in the finite element method, and in
fact, it can be treated in the same manner as the stiffness equations. Thus, the summation
process can be performed in the same way as assembling the element stiffness matrices
into the global equation as described in Chapter 5, and the boundary conditions can also
be imposed similarly. After the summation, Eq. (7) can be written as
