Abstract: A numerical procedure for large deformation analysis of elastic‐plastic frames is presented. The procedure is based on an Eulerian formulation, which was developed initially for elastic systems and is extended herein to ...

Abstract: Closed-form equations for the initial thermal postbuckling response of axially restrained elastic columns with six well-known sets of rotational and lateral end restraints are presented. These equations, which are consistent ...

Abstract: A method for large deformation and stability analysis of elastic space frames is presented. The method is based on an Eulerian formulation, which takes into consideration the effects of large joint translations and rotations. ...

Abstract: It is the goal of a computer model to accurately represent a structure mathematically. However, limitations exist that inhibit the ability to achieve an “exact” mathematical model. One such limitation is the number of ...

Abstract: The nonlinear behavior and the ultimate strength of four plane counterstressed cable trusses and a hyperbolic paraboloid network have been studied, considering the effects of large deformations, slackening of members, and ...

Abstract: Procedure for large displacement and stability analysis of elastic plane frames subjected to temperature changes is presented. The method of analysis is based on an Eulerian (corotational) formulation, which was developed ...

Abstract: A method of analysis to determine axial and bending stress distributions in open‐section beams composed of fiber‐composite layers is presented. The method is based on the transformed‐section concept, and the effects of ...
