Unified Fundamental Formulas for Static Analysis of Pin-Jointed Bar Assemblies

The initial axial forces of members—whatever caused by prestress or external loads—may strongly change the mechanical properties of pin-jointed bar assemblies, to enhance, or even establish their structural stiffness. The structural responses under external disturbance cannot be calculated accuratel...
