“…The direct algebraic formulation in which the matrix form of the solving system of displacement equations is the product of three matrices with diagonal constitutive matrix [3,4] is a specific mathematical problem within the theory of frames. This form is used, among others, in topological optimization [4,5], analysis of systems with large uncertainties [6], the use of convex sets techniques [7], plastic range of the analysis [8], and shakedown of elastic-plastic structures [9]. Potential applications of the formulation as well as of the present paper can be easily extended for the gridwork and framework methods in plate theories [10], including moderately thick plates.…”
