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 ...
