A Network-Topological Study on Statical Analysis of Rigid Framed Structures

Abstract

For the numerical analysis of complex structures with high redundancy by use of the digital computer, there arise a number of difficulties to solve the problems on an account of the fact that the increase of the rank of matrice involved requires much storage and time to obtain numerical results. A network-topological formulation of structural analysis leads effective algorithm to solve these problems. The alternative derivation of Spiller's formula and a memory-saving algorithm is considered in this paper.
