The Electronic Digital Computer in Aircraft Structural Analysis: The Programming of the Argyris Matrix Formulation of Structural Theory for an Electronic Digital Computer Part III. General Purpose Programmes for the force and displacement methods in large structures including the use of magnetic tape storage

Abstract

This paper develops general purpose programmes for an electronic digital computer for use when the Argyris Matrix Method of Structural Analysis is employed. Programmes for both the force and displacement methods are given and they apply for arbitrarily large structures. The procedure to be followed in the particular case of the structural analysis of a delta wing is outlined and the advantages of using magnetic tape storage are considered.
