What is recorded here?
Turner, Clough, Martin and Topp described assembling structural stiffness from smaller units, imposing equilibrium and continuity at nodes for computation of complex structures.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
This is one formative stiffness-method paper, not sole invention of all finite-element analysis. Approximation accuracy depends on the model and discretization.
