The Beam Element in Large Displacements Example: Also, the Jacobian will be: And the associated displacement derivatives are: These will be used to derive the strain-displacement matrices B and finally the stiffness matrix K Institute of Structural Engineering Method of Finite Elements II 48
Special Considerations-Geometric Stiffness An alternate approach to the Large Displacement Problem for practical considerations (namely truss, beam problems) A cable, when subjected to a large tension force, has an increased lateral stiffness. If a long rod is subjected to a large compressive force, and is on the verge of buckling, we know that the lateral stiffness of the rod has been reduced significantly and a small lateral load may cause the rod to buckle. This general type of behavior is caused by a change in the “geometric stiffness of the structure. This stiffness is a function of the load in the structural member and can be either positive or negative. Institute of Structural Engineering Method of Finite Elements II 49
