Abstract:The symmetry adapted counting rule for mechanisms and states of self-stress in symmetric frameworks is presented in an accessible and intuitive manner with the aim of empowering engineers who design such structures. By simply counting nodes and bars, it is possible to detect states of self-stress and mechanisms beyond the standard Maxwell-Calladine count. This methodology is first introduced without the need to understand the underlying group theory before being applied to a range of example frameworks. Design… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
