Review text

Formulas and algorithms for numerical formulation of the stiffness matrix, load vector and mass matrix are presented for frame elements with smoothly varying geometrical and physical characteristics according to an arbitrary law. The greater amount of input data for a single element with variable characteristics is compensated by the less number of elements necessary for the structure modelling.
