Solutions for One-Dimensional Structural Lattices
Donald L. Dean, Selmo Tauber · Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division · 1959
Advantages of using closed form solutions to difference equations as tool for structural analysis; in solving directly, difference equations are obtained by substituting standard force joint deformation relations into general joint equilibrium equations, complete solutions are obtained for regular parallel chord Vierendeel and triangulated trusses with n panels.
