<strong>The</strong> Beam <strong>Element</strong> in Large Displacements<br />

Example:<br />

Hence, <strong>the</strong> displacement components are at time t given by <strong>the</strong> following<br />

<strong>for</strong>mula:<br />

N∑<br />

t u i = N t k u k i + t N∑<br />

a k N k ( t Vti k − 0 Vti) k + s 2<br />

b k N k ( t V k si − 0 V k<br />

si), i = 1, 2<br />

hence:<br />
