Alicaςões da Manipulaςão Algébrica Computacional em Mecânica dos Sólidos

Abstract

Programs for the generation of finite element stiffness matrices and for the sollution of flexural problems by the Ritz Method, based on a recently developed symbolic manipulation system, PASCAL-MP, are presented. The PASCAL-MP is a PASCAL compiler with special commands for symbolic manipulations of polynomials. Elements of the computational implementation are presented in order to illustrate the procedures adopted and the processimg facilities utilized. In this waY,we expect to show the potencial use of the PASCAL-MP and to extrapolate future
applications of symbolic manipulation systems in solid mechanics.
