An Efficient Finite Element Method for Elastic-Plastic Analysis of Plane Frames

  • Conference paper
Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis in Structural Mechanics

Summary

A general method for the elastic — plastic analysis of plane frames including nonlinear geometric effects (large displacements, large /quadratic/ strains) is presented. A mixed type element with three degrees of freedom d. o. f. at each end, and with n (n = 1,2,3,...) internal d.o.f. along the element is proposed. The mixed approach with the approximation of the axial force and the curvature presents better the elastic — plastic state than the well known displacement approach.
