Abstract

The paper presents an original method employed to compute the normal and tangential stresses generated by shear forces and bending moments. The method uses an algorithmic approach together with concepts from elasticity, analitical geometry, numerical methods and computer programming. A boolean algebra was created which uses simple shapes as basic elements employed in upper level operations. It was conceived an algorithm which offers the most relevant values of the stresses, based on a set of points located on the simple shaped bodies which are subjected to complex filtering conditions at a later stage. The method was implemented in an 12000 computer code lines application.
