Smaller Internal Forces The more direct the internal force paths, the stiffer the structure. The more uniform the distribution of internal forces, the stiffer the structure. The smaller the internal forces, the stiffer the structure. Smaller internal forces in a structure or a stiffer structure can be achieved by: providing additional supports to the structure […]https://www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk/structural-concepts/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2021/10/Fig9-8-Comparison-of-the-deformations-of-two-rubber-rings.jpg408263
