Abstract

A numerical algorithm of strength and stability analysis of nonlinear deformable bar systems and thin-walled spatial structures is proposed. A numerical technique is based on the continuation method and the dynamic relaxation method. When using the method of dynamic relaxation the state of static equilibrium of structures is defined after the damped oscillations by integrating over leading parameter. The solution of the initial equation system describing the motion of the mechanical system is reduced to the solution of Cauchy problem for systems of ordinary differential equations. At an each step in the leading parameter the vector of nodal displacements and the time parameter are defined. Several examples of numerical analysis for bar, shell and plate are given.
