Finite deformation analysis using the finite element method

An analysis of the finite deformation of an elastic body using the finite element method is investigated. The governing nonlinear equations of equilibrium are derived through the principle of virtual work using a Lagrangian description. A general incremental virtual work equation is obtained, and th...
