Abstract

In Chap. 2, the set of governing equations for the nonlinear analysis of the elasto-dynamic response of a beam were reviewed. It was shown that this analysis requires the solution of a system of four nonlinear partial differential equations together with five linear vector equations for nine variables. As an especial case, in this chapter, the finite difference method (FDM) is used for calculating the linear static response of a beam. In this way, the performance of the mentioned formulation for analyzing a linear static beam problem is illustrated.
