Abstract

 

 

Example from: Kjell Mattiasson (1980).  "Numerical results from Large Deflection Beam and Frame Problems Analysed by Means of Elliptic Integrals."  International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Vol.17, Nos.1, pp.145-155.

Animation:  1) Deformed shape of a square frame with a compressive loading
                  2) Load Factor vs. Displacements
