✦ Synopsis

A variational technique is developed for the computation of the steady state response of rigid jointed frame structures to harmonically varying load systems. Bxplicit formulas are obtained for frames co&sting of uniform straight members and some examples are furnished to illustrate the method.

1 Interior concentrated forces and couples are formally included in w (5) as the appropriate distributions.
