Abstract: Deflections and stress resultants are calculated for hinged-hinged circular arches subjected to a horizontal point load at the crown. The underlying theory is based on the Bernoulli-Euler hypothesis. ...

Abstract: A curved nonlinear finite element is developed to analyze the behavior of slender high‐rise arches that undergo large deflections. The strain analysis is based on the assumptions that plane cross sections remain plane and ...

Abstract: A method for analyzing in‐plane deflections of elastic framed structures by numerical integration of the exact differential equations governing the finite bending and axial deformations of beams has been developed and ...
