The construction of influence lines with a mechanical interferometer

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The experimental investigation of the application of mechanical interferometry to the construction of influence lines has proven successful. The method is similar in principle to other methods of model analysis. Mechanical interferometry offers the advantages of speed and permanence of record over the other methods in present use. The idea seems to offer commercial possibilities.
