Shock and Impact problems have been the focus of research for decades in many engineering areas such as structural engineering, automobile industry, aerospace, multibody [...]

The paper investigates the contribution of the warping deformations and the shear center location on the dynamic response of 3D thin-walled beams obtained with an origina [...]

This article presents an energy-momentum integration scheme for the nonlinear dynamic analysis of planar Bernoulli/Timoshenko beams. The co-rotational approach is adopted [...]

The purpose of the paper is to present a corotational beam element for the nonlinear dynamic analysis of 3D flexible frames. The novelty of the formulation lies in the us [...]

Design codes for seismic constructions allow the realization of structures able to dissipate energy through cyclic plastic deformations localized in specific zones, selec [...]

The corotational method is an attractive approach to derive non-linear finite beam elements. In a number of papers, this method was employed to investigate the non-linear [...]
