Energy Based Method for Determination of Geometrically Non Linear Finite ElementK. Ben AmaraFrom Faculty of Technology, University of Qatar, Po. box 2713, Doha, Qatar.
An energy based method is used for the construction of geometrically non linear finite element. A parabolic finite element is constructed as an example to approach continuous arches, mixed structures and semi-circle continuous arches. These examples show the advantage of geometrically non linear elements in terms of reducing the number of finite elements for structural analysis. Keywords: Non linear finite element, energy based method, parabolic finite element
