Abstract

This paper demonstrates the similarity between the electrical equations associated with a resistance strip and the structural equations of beams and arches in cases where the strain energy is assumed to be due predominantly to bending. Two applications of the analogy are described. Some aspects of the design and operation of analogue computers based on this analogy are also discussed.
