Abstract
A materially and geometrically nonlinear three-dimensional beam element is discussed. The element is first derived in the small deflection elasto-plastic range and then further studied to incorporate finite deflection effects in a simplified way. The performance of the element is tested by two nonlinear examples and the scope of its use for the nonlinear analysis of multi-member space structures is discussed.
