Geometrically nonlinear finite element analysis of space frames

The displacement method of the finite element is adopted. Both the updated Lagrangian formulation and total Lagrangian formulation of a three-dimensional beam element is employed for large displacement and large rotation, but small strain analysis. A beam-column element or finite element can be use...
