AN EFFICIENT, GENERAL METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS OF GRILLAGES

The transfer matrix method provides a simple approach for the analysis of grillages under general conditions. In contrast to other efficient methods, no simplifying assumptions are made; the transfer matrix approach is exact within the framework of the classical theory of bending and torsion of bars. The technique accepts arbitrary loading, nonprismatic beams, arbitrary spacing, in-span conditions such as supports and releases, and arbitrary boundary conditions. The special features in ship structures such as deck openings, stanchion supports, and various brackets can be easily handled. The theory is readily grasped and implemented in full generality for computer solution.
