A DISCRETE-ELEMENT METHOD OF ANALYSIS FOR COMBINED BENDING AND SHEAR DEFORMATIONS OF A BEAM

A METHOD OF ANALYZING THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF BENDING AND SHEAR DEFORMATIONS IN A STRUCTURE BY THE SUBSTITUTION OF A DISCRETE-ELEMENT MODEL FOR THE REAL STRUCTURE IS PRESENTED. A SERIES OF ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS DESCRIBING THE LOAD- DEFLECTION BEHAVIOR OF THE MODEL IS SOLVED WITH THE AID OF A COMPUTER PROGRAM GIVEN. /BPR/
