Cellular automata as an approximate method in structural analysis

This thesis deals with the mathematical idealization denoted cellular automata (CA) and the applicability of this method to structural mechanics. When using CA, all aspects such as space and time are discrete. This discrete nature of CA allows for ease of interaction with digital computers, while ph...
