Notes:
A matrix formulation of structural analysis, known as the integrated force method (IFM) is an attempt to establish an approach in which internal forces are the unknowns. Gradients of such behaviour constraints as stress, displacement and frequency can be obtained in closed form via the IFM. Closed form reanalysis formulae can also be generated. Computational experiments reported here show that reanalysis and gradient generation can be performed efficiently by this approach.
