Abstract

This paper will discuss the generalized variational principles, which are established by the method of undetermined multipliers in structures, and analyze the statically indeterminate truss, in which these principles will be used. At the same time we bring a symmetrical matrix and give specific solution, thus all the internal forces of structures may be found.
