Question

what is use of funicular polygon

Answer 1

The funicular polygon method is employed to discretize the fourth order differential equation of inelastic plate-buckling to a system of linear algebraic equations corresponding to an eigenvalue problem of the general type.

Answer 2

Satisfied at several points, rather than just at one as in other finite difference methods. Stfissi. [4] has derived the fundamental funicular polygon equation from a purely mechanical. consideration, based on the funicular polygon of graphical statics, to solve some second order. differential equations.
