Abstract: Dynamic analysis of large rotation and deformation can be carried out using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation. This formulation, which utilizes global displacements and slope coordinates ...

Abstract: A large rigid body rotation of a finite element can be described by rotating the axes of the element coordinate system or by keeping the axes unchanged and change the slopes or the position ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new two-dimensional shear deformable beam element based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation is proposed. The nonlinear elastic forces of the beam element are obtained ...

Abstract: In this investigation, a nonlinear finite element method for the large deformation and rotation of cable problems is presented. This method is based on finite element absolute nodal coordinate ...
