Summary:

By using the methods of the Calculus of Finite Differences, expressions are obtained for the nodal moments and deflections of a simply-supported grillage, subjected to a loading constant along one set of beams and having a sinusoidal variation along the other set of beams. A simple example verifies the expressions and illustrates their use.
