Momenttijakauma
Momenttijakauma, often translated as "moment distribution method," is a structural analysis technique used to determine the internal forces and moments in statically indeterminate beams and frames. Developed by Hardy Cross in the 1930s, it is an iterative method that focuses on the distribution of moments at joints. The core idea is that when a moment is applied to a joint, that moment is distributed to the connected members based on their relative stiffness. A portion of the applied moment is also carried over to the far end of each connected member.
The method involves several key steps. First, members are assumed to be fixed at one end and
Momenttijakauma is particularly useful for analyzing structures with complex joint conditions and for situations where exact
