Abstract: This paper addresses the formulation and application of a finite-element–based large increment method for solving nonlinear structural problems. In a step-by-step solution of a nonlinear problem based on the displacement ...

Abstract: The size effect on the nominal strength of a floating ice plate subjected to a vertical uniform line load is analyzed. The cracks produced by the load, which are parallel to the load line, are treated as softening inelastic ...
