Abstract
The combined finite element-transfer matrix method has the advantage of reducing the size of a matrix to less than that obtained by the ordinary finite element method. The analytical procedure in this method for bending and buckling problems are described, and techniques for treating the structure with intermediate conditions are proposed. Various numerical examples of these problems are shown to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of this method. The results from these examples agree well with those obtained by the finite element method and others.
