Extract

In recent years much attention has been devoted to what Professor Southwell has appropriately called relaxation (1) methods in the solution of structural problems. These methods are essentially physical applications of iteration processes for solving simultaneous equations. In this paper it is not intended to discuss the advantages or otherwise of physical relaxation as compared with analytical iteration. The object is to examine the mathematical basis of the relaxation methods and to investigate the conditions of their convergency.
