On the theory of discrete structural model analysis and design

Exclusive theory for analysis of Structural Models "comprising of springs\ masses\ dash pots\ etc[# is presented by adapting the electrical network theory[ It commences a brief statement of a new Principle of Quasi Work "PQW#\ relevant to this theory[ Derivations presented here include theorems addressing maximum displacements\ relative ~exibilities\ sensitivity analysis of global ~exibilities\ inverse problem of load prediction and interpolation of sti}nesses and ~exibilities of the Structural Models[ Finally a {Design Equation| capable of providing a starting point which more or less satis_es all the displacement constraints for iterative design employing a pair of estimated starting points for design iterations "within or outside feasible region# is evolved[ Simple substantive illustrations are included to demonstrate the potential of these theoretical developments
