A Unified Framework for Co-Rotational Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the development and basic theory of co-rotational finite element method is introduced. The framework of constructing nonlinear element with co-rotational finite element method is proposed. Based on this framework, linear shell and beam element is easy to be extended to nonlinear problem analysis
