The paper presents the results of analyses of elastic properties of thin-walled structures
designed by means of the SADSF method, carried out in order to confirm its practical usefulness.
The SADSF method makes it possible – without applying any iterative correction
procedures – to effectively solve the problems of design of such structures. The method can be
applied in cases when only boundary conditions are given. The obtained solutions are free of
the structural errors which can significantly deteriorate load carrying ability of structures of
this class.
Keywords: design, thin-walled structures, limit analysis, FEM analyses
