RECIPROCAL DIAGRAMS OF STRESS. (Chapter I.) An examination of the Frame and Stress Diagrams, Figs. 4 and 5,page 3, shows— (i) That if the lines representing external forces on parts of the framediagram meet in a point, the corresponding Lines in the stress diagramwill form a closed (2) That if the lines representing parts of the frame diagram form aclosed polygon, the corresponding lines in the stress diagram will meetin a point. 822 RECIPROCAL DIAGRAMS OF STRESS. 823 {3) That if lines meet at a point in the stress diagram the corre-sponding lines in the frame diagram are contiguous, and form eithernon-closing or closed polygons. (4) That of all the stress diagrams which can be drawn for a givenframe under given loads, there is only one which satisfies the three re- I f-- ;p
