Structural Synthesis in the Frequency Domain: A General Formulation by Joshua H. Gordis

“…Notable features of the formulation includes the ability to directly synthesize response quantities such as displacements, stresses, and strains, and the accommodation of Boolean matrices that organize the connectivity in the synthesis of complex systems. The theory is shown to be a highly efficient and exact means of doing static and complex dynamic reanalysis.…”
