Abstract
Subroutine T"STADET r analyzes a structure to find if
it is stable and determinate. The structure must first be
idealized as a rigid body supported by a system of links.
The program checks on the arrangement and number of the
support links. Flags are set so that this subroutine may
be used to select whether to use simple statics or strength
of materials methods in subsequent analysis of the problem.
Testing of the subroutine is discussed. Two input-output programs are also described. One
calculates the reactions in the equivalent support linkages
from the resultant load; the other assumes that the properties
of the links are known and calculates the allowable
load.
