AREA-VECTOR METHOD CALCULATJJNG THE DISPLACEMENTS OF BEAMS AND FRAMES

A new method with which to calculat the displacements of beams and frames is presented. The areas of tending moment diagram of beam or frame and the slope at the origin of the elastic curve are treated as some rotatable vectors with this method. Angular displacement and in-line displacement can be calculated by using the projection and moment of these vectors. This method can be used to calculate displacement of the bar and the bar syttem ( including three dimensional forms. ) , which made from linear or ncnlinear elastic materials. The cross section of the bar is changeable.
