Abstract

A non-linear finite element for the mechanical modelling of masonry structures is presented. Both material and geometrical non-linearities are introduced, developing the expression of the potential strain energy through appropriate average functions. The characteristics of the numerical model are explained and the approximations introduced in the analysis are discussed.
