Abstract

Abstract Dynamic relaxation, an iterative method for use with digital computers, is described and is shown to be suitable for the solution of a system of linear equations and in particular for such problems derived from structural frame analysis. It is further shown that the method may be modified to include non‐linear equations relating to these problems. Some specific examples of linear and non‐linear solutions are given and comparisons are made with another computer method which performs the same tasks.
