The integrated force method (IFM) is extended to vibration analysis of structures, with the concept of "force mode shape" used as the primary analysis variable. The potential of IFM to simplify structural design under frequency constraint is illustrated. Frequency analysis by IFM is illustrated by t

## Abstract An integrated force method is developed for the analysis of discrete structures in which all the element forces are taken as the independent variables instead of the conventional way of treating the redundants as the prime unknowns. Computationally the integrated force method is superio
Dynamic animation of stresses and displacements, which complement each other, can be a useful tool in the analysis and design of structural components. At the present time only displacement-mode animation is available through the popular stiffness formulation. This paper attempts to complete this va
