Correct Discrete-Continual Finite Element Method of Structural Analysis Based on Precise Analytical Solutions of Resulting Multipoint Boundary Problems for Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations

Abstract

The distinctive paper is devoted to correct discrete-continual finite element method (DCFEM) of structural analysis based on precise analytical solutions of resulting multipoint boundary problems for systems of ordinary differential equations with piecewise-constant coefficients. Corresponding semianalytical (discrete-continual) formulations are contemporary mathematical models which currently becoming available for computer realization. Major peculiarities of DCFEM include uni-versality, computer-oriented algorithm involving theory of distributions, computational stability, optimal conditionality of resulting systems and partial Jordan decompositions of matrices of coeffi-cients, eliminating necessity of calculation of root vectors.
