Abstract

This chapter describes some effective methods for computing different types of deflections of deformable structures. The structure may be subjected to different actions, such as variety of external loads, change of temperature, settlements of supports, and errors of fabrication. Advantages and disadvantages of each method and field of their effective application are discussed. Much attention is given to a graph multiplication method which is a most effective method for bending structures. Fundamental properties of deformable structures are described by reciprocal theorems.
