Abstract

In this paper, some graph theoretical (topological) transformations are presented for simplifying certain problems involved in structural analysis. For each case, the main problem is stated and the proposed topological transformation is established. Once the required topological analysis is completed, a back transformation results in the solution for the main problem. The transformations studied here employ (i) models drawn on a lower dimensional space, (ii) models embedded on higher dimensional spaces and (iii) interchange models which have simpler connectivity properties than the corresponding original structural models. All these transformations are illustrated utilizing simple examples.
