Abstract
In this paper some topological transformations are designed for simplifying certain problems involved in the analysis of
structures. For each case , the main problem is stated and the proposed topological transformation is established. Once the
required topological analysis is completed, a back transformation results the solution for the main problem. Topological
transformations studied here employ (1) models drawn on the plane, (2) models embedded into higher dimensional spaces,
(3) interchange models defined which have more simple connectivity properties than the corresponding original structural
model.
