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: In this paper, beam elements with particular emphasis on higher-order elements based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) are thoroughly investigated from the perspective of interpolation procedure and ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a new planar gradient deficient beam element based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation. In the proposed formulation, the centerline position is interpolated using cubic polynomials while shear ...
