Desarrollo de software de análisis estructural para el análisis matricial de pórticos y armaduras isostáticas planas mediante el dispositivo portátil TI-NSPIRE CX CAS.

Abstract

This study aims at developing a structural analysis software for matrix analysis of frames and isostatic truss in two dimensions through the portable device TI-Nspire CX CAS. With the purpose of becoming a supporting tool for students and teachers of the civil engineering departament of the University of Pamplona.

In order to execute the analysis software the literature review was carried out. A basic desing was proposed, which includes both the graphical interface appearance and the development of some analysis methods based on the structural analysis therory. The “Ac-Struc” analysis software is compounded of direct stiffness method, method of joints and theorem of three moments.

The desing was implemented on cross platform programming language Lua,resulting in the structural analysis software “Ac-Struc” for the portable device effeted TI-Nspire CX CAS. The software verification was effectuated by a comparison between the generated by the above and the exercises propounded in bibligraphical sources.
