I understand why you're trying to add ad-hoc assumptions like "diamond supports" to simplify the problem, but I'd still say that you should read the book and pick up a real-world problem with real conditions and constraints, instead of trying to come up with a general theory for modeling such systems. | |
| Oct 8 at 17:32 | comment | added | damix911 | Thank you! This is great information! Can you recommend a book or course that would teach how to solve problems like that? I am interested understanding how it works in the super-duper-rigid case, like, I don't know, the support structure is made of diamond. And is the cross section really that important, in the case where the structure is very rigid and the discrete masses are way more massive than the structure itself? Thanks! | |
