Convergence characteristics of the fully stressed design method for plane frames

It is the intent of this paper to investigate how the convergence rate of a fully stressed design method using a stress-ratio algorithm may be affected by manipulating various parameters. The parameters studied are: (1) selection of a design variable, (2) relationships between the variables of momen...
