Abstract
A procedure to reanalyze a damaged structure using a finite element force method of analysis is presented. Unlike similar methods that use the displacement method of analysis, the procedure presented here yields a direct, rather than an iterative method. A computer program was written and illustrative examples were solved and are presented herein. Residual elastic strength is defined and calculated for damaged structures that were originally optimally designed for minimum weight.
