Structural Problems Surveyed

Abstract

THE important series under the title ‘Energy Theorems and Structural Analysis’ which we published during the winter of 1954–5 will have made our readers familiar with the work of PROFESSOR J. H. ARGYRIS. More recently we have published a series by MR P. M. HUNT of Ferranti Ltd. on the programming of the Argyris method for the Ferranti Pegasus electronic digital computer. We believe that, taken together, these methods will be found to be of wide application to the problems facing the structural analysis departments of the aircraft firms, and that they will take their place as important design tools. Indeed, it is not unlikely that, as in so many cases before, other industries will find it to their advantage to adopt these techniques, pioneered on behalf of the aircraft industry, in so far as they may be found to be applicable.
