| Abstract: |
The following text shows the state of research in developing a method for structural analysis of planar and curved lattice systems, whereby the methodological approach refers to the structural behaviour of Reciprocal Frame Systems. The method is based on the consideration of equilibrium for the bar elements and their interacting forces in the joints, and thus it develops, according to plasticity theory, a possible equilibrium solution for the internal forces of the overall structure. Because of the independence of material properties, the analysis method will show the relationship between force and form, even of complex structures, in a simple and direct way. |
