• Abstract:
  This report presents the results of an analytical study undertaken to develop an implicit numerical method for determining the deflected shape of a rectangular plane frame with three degrees of freedom at each joint. The study consists of (1) the development of equations describing the behavior of a rectangular plane frame under any reasonable conditions of loading and restraint, (2) the development of an alternating-direction implicit method for the solution of these equations, and (3) the application of the method to the solution of realistic example problems.
