Incremental analysis of plane frames with geometric and material nonlinearities

Second-order elastic finite element analysis of steel structures using a single element per member

“…Powell [12] reported a thorough discrete finite element procedure, in which small strain but large deformation was assumed. Continuing work during the 1980's included that of Wood and Zienkiewicz [13], Meek and Tan [14], Chajes and Churchill [15], Oliveto and Cuomo [16], Chan and Kitipornchai [17], and later Kitipornchai et al [18] evolved their method into second-order inelastic analysis. This type of research still extended in 1990's.…”

A novel approach to elasto-plastic finite element analysis of beam structures using the concept of incremental secant stiffness

“…To overcome the inadequacy of analytical method, various numerical approaches based on finite element (FE) method have been proposed during the last two decades. In general, these methods may be categorized into two main types: the plastic zone method (spread-of-plasticity) [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] and the plastic hinge method (concentrated plasticity) [3,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Piezo-electromechanical smart materials with distributed arrays of piezoelectric transducers: Current and upcoming applications

“…The study of their stability, e.g. those exposed in [113,124,126,127,128] or, for similar problems related to coupled aeroelastic phenomena, vibration analysis and non-linearities, in [159,160,155], can be fruitfully used for future research developments.…”
