On simple and accurate finite element models for nonlinear bending analysis of beams and plates

This study is concerned with the development of simple and accurate alternative finite element models to displacement finite element models for geometrically nonlinear bending analysis of beams and plates. First, a unified corotational beam finite element that incorporates the kinematics of classica...
