Qualitative Theory in Structural Mechanics

Abstract

The focus of the first six sections of this chapter is on qualitative properties of the finite difference model or the related physical model of a beam. We will set up the governing equations of motion and boundary conditions associated with the finite difference system; derive various modal qualitative properties of the discrete model under different boundary constraints, by applying the theory of oscillatory matrices and the concept of conjugate beams; and establish qualitative properties in static deformation of the finite difference system of a well-constrained beam.
