On the Elimination of Structural Discontinuities
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 July 2016
Extract
The effect of discontinuities on the analysis of structures is discussed by W. J. Goodey in a Technical Note in the October Journal. He quite rightly points out that a structure with cut-outs is more difficult to analyse (especially for routine calculations) than a structure without cut-outs. Subsequently he indicates a procedure for obviating the former complications by introducing fictitious members in place of the cutouts. Using then the variational method of arbitrary multipliers he derives the stress distribution in the structure with cut-outs from the simpler analysis of the structure without cut-outs.
