Abstract

An algorithm is developed for the generation of cycle bases leading to highly sparse transformed element flexibility matrices for an efficient flexibility analysis of skeletal structures. This method is a direct approach and selects cycles having the least possible overlaps. An indirect method is also presented which generates cycles of the least possible lengths on an ordered member-set of a structure. A cycle ordering algorithm is given for bandwidth reduction of transformed element flexibility matrices.
