Abstract:
      The development of beam elements based on the relationship of equilibrium has become a very active research field in recent years because the kind of elements is more accurate than elements developed based on the relationship of compatibility. A method for geometrical nonlinear analysis of the beam element developed based on relationship of equilibrium is proposed. The method has two superiorities than existing methods: (1) avoids the potential problem of oscillatory elemental displacement field; (2) simplifies the implementation of the finite element code by "decoupling" the codes of geometrical nonlinear analysis and material nonlinear analysis. The beam element developed based on relationship of equilibrium fail to present a consistent response in the case of section with negative stiffness because the localization of deformation. To resolve the problem, a modified numerical integration strategy is proposed. A nonlinear finite element code is then developed and numerical examples are provided in order to verify the feasibility and effectivity of the presented method.
