Nonlinear Dynamics of Flat-Surface Structures

Meilan Liu and Cho W. S. To

Abstract

This chapter deals with the nonlinear dynamic responses of structures with flat mid-surfaces, such as plates and boxes by employing the mixed formulation based three-node flat triangular nonlinear shell elements presented in Chapter 7. Geometrical nonlinearity due to large deformation, material nonlinearity due to elastic-plastic material behaviour, and various loading situation including non-conservative loads, will be investigated.
