Abstract: The combined use of the finite element and transfer matrix is applied to the large displacement dynamic analysis of the plate structures subjected to random out‐of‐plane and in‐plane excitations. The transfer matrix relating ...

Abstract: The matrix function method is applied to the dynamic stability problems of initially imperfected columns and plates under time‐dependent axial compression in elastic and elastic‐plastic regions. Matrix functions are derived ...

Abstract: The combined finite element‐transfer matrix method is applied to elastic‐plastic problems with large displacements. In the calculation program developed in this paper, the same procedures as those used in the finite element ...

Abstract: A structural analysis method based on a combined use of the boundary element and transfer matrix method is applied to static problems of plated structures. In this paper, a transfer matrix is evaluated by combining two ...

Abstract: An analytical procedure for the elastic buckling problems of thin-walled members with variable-thickness cross sections is presented in this paper, using the transfer-matrix method. The transfer matrix is derived from ...
