Exact manual analysis of space frames by decomposition of the loads

p. 2836-2847This paper presents a method of equilibrium that calculates the deflection of certain space frames in an exact manner, without needing to solve equation systems. For this purpose, the unknown quantity of the deflection is considered to be a combination of other partial deflections that can be immediately determined and that are subject to some partial conditions of the loads, the addition of which constitutes the load conditions of the problem. The procedure to calculate the partial conditions of the loads considers the hypotheses of manual calculations. An example is carried out to complete this exposition.Lacort Echeverria, A. (2009).
