Reinterpretation of the Cross Method: Gauss-Seidel approximation for the solution of transverse dislocation

Resumo

The Cross Method was very used for analysis of structures, this was to the agility of the method. But he lose his use by the limitations of metho, such as transversal dislocations. So, a general method was proposed, able of analyzing structures with transversal dislocations and have the classical method as a particular case. The methods found to get these objective was to use displacement method and Gauss-Seidel approximation together and compare with the classical method. The results showed the Gauss-Seidel approximation was able to obtain an approximate solution to for structures with transverse dislocations maintaining part of the agility of the traditional method. With these results, can be concluded that Cross's reinterpretation is able to analysis of structures with transverse dislocation more easily than the classical method.
