        Abstract
        The paper presents an original method employed to compute the normal and tangential stresses generated by shear forces
and bending moments. The method uses an algorithmic approach together with concepts from elasticity, analitical
geometry, numerical methods and computer programming. A boolean algebra was created which uses simple shapes as
basic elements employed in upper level operations. It was conceived an algorithm which offers the most relevant values of
the stresses, based on a set of points located on the simple shaped bodies which are subjected to complex filtering
conditions at a later stage. The method was implemented in an 12000 computer code lines application.
