On the Nature and Conditioning of Least Work Equations in Structures

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 July 2016

Summary

In this paper an explanation is furnished as to why linear simultaneous equations arising in structural problems are, in certain circumstances, sensitive or “ill-conditioned,” and an indication is given concerning the physical significance of this sensitivity. Means are also discussed whereby difficulties of this kind may be overcome.
