Abstract


Recent years have seen the development, along with the Finite Elements Method, of another which is particularly conceived for the calculation of complex elastic structures: the Hybrid Analysis. This new and powerful method is still relatively unknown even among specialists, although it has been applied for some time now with successful results. In many cases, the Hybrid Analysis is preferable to pure numerical methods, both for economic and technical reasons among which is that fact that its range of application is much wider. Although conceptually simple, the method requires a very specialized technology and a system of electronic computation programs that cannot be described in detail in an article as short as this. For this reason, only the basic ideas of this method will be discussed below while its possibilities will be illustrated by showing its application in specific cases. For a more detailed discussion of the Hybrid Analysis and of its corresponding test techniques, see the book «Modelos reducidos», by H. Hossdorf, published by the Instituto Eduardo Torroja, Madrid, 1972.
