TL;DR: In this paper, a set of simultaneous equations may be characterized by a sin-constraint, i.e., a series of successive approximations applied to the solution of the simultaneous equations.
Abstract: Iteration (meaning “repetition”) stands for the process of successive approximations applied to the solution of simultaneous equations. A set of simultaneous equations may be characterized by a sin...
TL;DR: The Cross method of distributing fixed-end moments in the analysis of continuous frames has become recognized as such a convenient tool of structural design that it is unnecessary to state its impo....
