Abstract

The modelling of structure mechanics is a matter for finding equilibrium of the structure. The Newton-Raphson method for equilibrium calculation is described. This method is based on the nodes position, the forces on nodes, and the stiffness matrix. Other methods of equilibrium calculation, the methods of Newmark and of the energy minimisation, are described.
