Static, Vibration, and Transient Dynamic Analyses by Beam Element with Adaptive Displacement Interpolation Functions
An approach to analyzing structures by using beam elements is developed with adaptive displacement interpolation functions. First, the element stiffness matrix and equivalent nodal loads are derived on the basis of the equilibrium between nodal forces and section forces rather than the compatibility...
