The Finite Transfer Method used to solve a system of linear ordinary differential equations is extended by adding the boundary equations involved in the problem. A Runge-Kutta scheme could be chosen, for example, to obtain Finite Transfer expressions. The use of a recurrence strategy in these equations permits one to relate different points in the domain where boundary equations could be defined. A final algebraic system of equations is annotated and solved. The method could be applied to determine the structural behaviour of a spatially curved beam element. An example is given to show the procedure exposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
