Large Deflection Problem for Beam Using a Hybrid Computer

Abstract

A solving method for large deflection problems using a hybrid computer which combines a digital computer and an analog computer is described in this paper. As it is hard to understand the state of beam deflection when the results of computation are only the figures, those states are displayed in X-Y oscilloscope by way of the sensible output. The results of computation using the hybrid computer are investigated and compared with the results of the calculus of finite differences method.
