Keywords: statay ndetermnate strutures, pane frames, beam bendng dfferenta equaton, bar axa deformaton SIGN CONVENION Fgure. Sgn onventon for: a) apped dstrbuted oads and reatons; b) nterna fores; ) dspaements.. Introduton he methods for fndng the souton, n terms of both knemat and stat quanttes, of statay ndetermnate pane frames are fundamenta tops of Strutura Mehans. In the terature, the most treated approahes are the fore and the dspaement methods [,,,4]. he use of the frst one s preferabe when the frame shows a ow number of stat ndetermnatons, whe the seond one s better f the number of deformaton modes of the frame, n a dsretzed system, s ow. When the frame s mono-axa a sutabe approah for ts souton s onsdered by the use of the bar-axa deformaton and the beam-bendng dfferenta equatons [,]. In genera, t requres the determnaton of 4+=6 ntegraton onstants that must be obtaned by mposng a orrespondng number of boundary ondtons. he poneerng works by Maauay [5], Brungraber [6], and the work by Fasone [7] generazed the use of ths approah to a the ases n whh some snguartes are present n these equatons. hey are due to some partuar oadng ondtons or to the presene of some natura and/or essenta onstrants aong the axs of the frame. In ths way the appaton of the dfferenta equaton approah an be onsdered as a genera too for sovng the mono-axa frames. No extenson of ths approah to mut-axa frames appears to be n the terature. As a onsequene, the ony true aternatve to the fore and dspaement approahes for the souton of mut-axa frames s the Fnte Eement approah. he am of ths paper s to extend the dfferenta equaton approah to the ase of mut-axa frames. In partuar, t w be shown that ths "goba" method s sutabe for a matrx notaton. As a matter of fat, eah matrx quantty an be easy expressed n terms of the geometry of the struture, the presene of the varous onstrants and the matera propertes. he number of unknowns s aways equa to 6 n, n beng the number of mono-axa frames omposng the struture. hs number s hgher than those reated to the use of the fore method, the dspaements method and the Fnte Eement approah (f the dsretzaton s not too dense). However, the proposed method has the advantage that the knowedge of the 6 n ntegraton onstants aows

Bar Axa and Beam Bendng Dfferenta Equatons he method presented n ths work for the exat souton of neary east statay ndetermnate frames s essentay based on the use of the assa dfferenta equatons governng the axa behavor of the bar and the defeton behavor of the beam. For ths reason these two equatons are treated n ths seton, wth further objetve to ntrodue the fundamenta symbosm used n ths work. he dfferenta equaton governng the axa generazed dspaement, u(x), of a homogeneous east bar, wth onstant axa stffness,, where E s the Young moduus and A s the ross-seton area, has the foowng form: u ( x) = px () where the apex ndates the dervatve wth respet to x and px s the axa ontnuous oad atng on the bar. It s mportant to note that, f some onentrated axa fores at on the beam, Eq. () remans vad f the generazed funtons are used as n [7]. A frst ntegraton of Eq. () eads to: () u ( x) = p ( x) + C () () ε ( x) = u ( x) = p ( x) + C where the apex nsde the brakets ndates the order of ntegraton made on the funton, ε ( x) s the generazed axa stran and C s an ntegraton onstant. In the seond of these equatons the ompatbty equaton between axa dspaement and deformaton has been taken nto onsderaton. By onsderng the onsttutve reatonshp, the axa nterna fore N( x ) an be easy found as: () N( x) = ε ( x) = p ( x) + C () A further ntegraton of Eq. () gves: () ux = p ( x) + Cx + C (4) he vaues of the onstants C and C are obtanabe by mposng the boundary ondtons that an be of stat type (based on the vaue of the nterna axa fore) and/or knemat type (based on the vaue of the axa dspaement). It s mportant to note that n both ases of statay determnate and ndetermnate bars, mposton of the boundary ondtons eads to a system of two equatons wth two unknowns admttng a unque souton. On the ontrary, when the bar s knematay ndetermnate (whh happens when the boundary ondtons are both of stat type), the agebr souton s mpossbe. he dfferenta equaton governng the defeton generazed dspaement, wx, of a homogeneous east Bernou beam, wth onstant axa stffness,, I beng the ross-seton nerta moment, has the foowng form: w ( x) = qx (5) where qx s the transversa ontnuous oad atng on the beam. he use of the generazed funton aows onsderatons of the ases of dsontnuous oads, and of presene of nterna and externa onstrans aong the axs [7]. A frst ntegraton of Eq. (5) eads to: () w ( x) = q ( x) + C (6) he foowng reatonshp hods n the ase of the Euer-Bernou beam: ( x) = w ( x) (7) ( x ) beng the nterna shear fore. Substtutng from Eq.(6) gves: () ( x) = q ( x) C (8) Whe the ntegraton of Eq. (6) gves: () w ( x) = q ( x) + Cx + C4 () M ( x) = q ( x) Cx + C4 (9) where the reatonshp between the beam bendng moment M( x) and the defeton of the Euer-Bernou beam, that s M ( x) = w ( x), has been onsdered. Further ntegraton of Eq. (9) eads to: x 4 5 () w ( x) = q ( x) + C + C x+ C () x ϕ( x) = q ( x) + C + C4x+ C5 () where the ompatbty reatonshp of the Euer-Bernou beam between the generazed rotaton, ϕ ( x) and the defeton, that s ϕ ( x) = w ( x), has been taken nto onsderaton. Fnay, the ast ntegraton of Eq. () gves: (4) x x wx = q ( x) + C + C4 + Cx 5 + C6 () 6 he four ntegraton onstants C C6 an be evauated by mposng the four boundary ondtons of the beam. In the ases of statay determnate and ndetermnate beams the agebra four equatons resutng by ths mposton defne a system admttng ony one souton. Instead, n the ase of unstabe frames the system of agebra souton s mpossbe.

When a mono-axa frame s onsdered, then ts souton an be obtaned by onsderng together, but even separatey beng ndependent, the dfferenta equaton governng the axa deformaton and the dfferenta equaton governng the beam bendng. hs means that sx ntegraton onstants must be evauated by mposng the sx boundary ondtons. he orrespondng system of sx agebra equatons gves agan a unque souton for statay determnate and ndetermnate frames, whe the souton s mpossbe when the frame s unstabe.

Mxed Fore-Dspaement Method for Frames A gener frame an be onsdered as a system of mono-axa frames onstraned externay n orrespondene of the externa nodes and nternay, eah other, n orrespondene of the nterna nodes.

In order to wrte these equatons, frsty t s neessary to refer a the stat and knemat empoyed quanttes to the same goba referene axs system. In ths operaton the ntroduton of the so-aed rotaton matrx, G, s neessary for passng from the defnton of any vetor, ˆv, referred to the oa axs system ( Ox ; ˆ, y ˆ), to the same vetor, v, referred to the goba axs system ( Oxy ;, ).

Lke the ases of the bars, the beams and the monoaxa frames, even for the ase of mut-axa frames, have ony one souton for statay determned and undetermned systems. Hene the square matrx D s nvertbe. he nverse of Eq.

However, the appaton of the mxed method oud be mproved f a dret onstruton of the quanttes of the Eq. (9) an be aheved. For ths purpose, t s easy to show that the onstruton of the vetor s mmedate: t s a vetor of order 6 n, f n s the number of mono-axa frames omposng the struture, oetng the ntegraton onstant vetors of eah mono-axa frame ( =,, n). he matrx D, of order 6 n 6 n, s but by matres of order 6, whe the vetor d, of order 6 n, s but by n vetors of order. Some row-boks of D refer to the externa onstraned nodes of the struture. In partuar, f the extreme pont K of the -th eement s fxed, then a row-bok of D must show a zero matres, exept for the bok orrespondng to the -th oumnbok, where the matrx A ( K ) must be nserted. It s worth rememberng that f the node onsdered s the frst one (respet to the oa axes), then K I ; otherwse, t s K J. In the orrespondng row-bok of d, the vetor ( K ) a must be nserted. Some other row-boks of D are reated to the ompatbty ondtons of the nterna free nodes: f m mono-axa frames are onneted n a node, then m row boks orrespond to these ondtons; n eah of these row-boks ony two matres are not zero, these are those orrespondng to two of the eements onneted n the node, paed n orrespondene of the oumn-boks orrespondng to the eements. If, for exampe, the monoaxa frame eements are the j-th and the k-th ones, the ( K ) ( K ) non-zero matres are A j and A k, paed n the j-th and n the k-th bok-oumn, respetvey.

Conusons A new approah for the evauaton of pane frames has been presented. It an be onsdered as a goba, or a mxed fore-dspaement method beause t takes nto aount, at the same tme, the equbrum and the ompatbty ondtons governng the strutura mehans of these systems. In partuar, t utzes the dfferenta equatons governng the probem of the monoaxa frames (bar and beam behavor) and onsders the unknowns of the probem as the ntegraton onstants of these equatons. Even f number of these unknowns s greater than the unknowns reated to the use of the fore method, those reated to the use of the dspaement method and those referrng to the appaton of a Fnte Eement approah (f a not too dense dsretzaton s used), ths drawbak s ompensated by the fat that no post-proessng s requred for evauatng any stat and knemat response of the frame. he appatons of the proposed approah to some smpe exampes has shown ts feasbty and predsposton to be mpemented n a omputer ode. he theoreta and prata matera reported n ths paper may be nterestng not ony for engneerng students, but aso for any sentst workng n the area of Strutura Mehans and nterested to the methods for sovng statay undetermned strutures.
