A finite element approach to calculate directly the critical wind velocity for the nonlinear
lateral-torsional buckling instability of long-span cable-stayed bridges under the …

Geometric nonlinear analysis of structures is not a simple extension from its counterpart of
linear analysis. In this article, some research works conducted primarily in the past two …

Nonlinear analysis of structures is an effective way for predicting the bearing capacity or
ultimate strength of a structure. This paper will review researches on the nonlinear, buckling …

In the companion paper, using more general assumptions concerning the war**, the
theory for thin-walled beams with arbitrary open or closed cross section is developed. In this …

Abstract A Finite Element Graph (FEG) is defined here as a nodal graph (G), a dual graph
(G*), or a communication graph (G˙) associated with a generic finite element mesh. The …

A clearly consistent finite element formulation for spatial stability analysis of thin‐walled
space frames is presented by applying linearized virtual work principle and introducing …

In routine design of steel storage rack frames, it is far more common to perform two
dimensional (2D) rather than three dimensional (3D) linear buckling analyses. In this paper …

This paper presents a new formulation for the large-displacement analysis of thin-walled
frames taking into account the effects of elastoplastic material behavior. The proposed …

A simple theory is developed for the coupled war** and cross-sectional distortion at joints
between thin-walled I-beams. Continuity of the joined flanges and the local character of the …

A doubly symmetric thin-walled beam element with open section is derived using co-
rotational (CR) total Lagrangian (TL) formulation. The effects of deformation-dependent third …
