Efficient static analysis of regular frames having nodes of single degree of freedom

In this paper it is shown how Sylvester equation can be utilized in the analysis of frames in order to reduce the order of solution for regular frames. Furthermore, it is shown how efficient this new algorithm is in comparison to the classic solution. By this comparison, it will be shown that this approach can solve the static analysis simply in an easier and more inexpensive way. Due to the reduction in the number of operations in the solution presented, round off errors are naturally reduced.
