Weighted Graph Products for Configuration Processing of Planar and Space Structures

In this paper three graph products and three weighted graph products are presented for the formation of structural models. The graph products are extensively used in graph theory and combinatorial optimization, however, the weighted products defined in this paper are more suitable for the formation of practical structural models. Here, the simple and weighted products are employed for the configuration processing of space structures. This application can easily be extended to the formation of finite element models.
