Finite Element Analysis of Structures at High Temperatures with Special Application to Plane Steel Beams and Frames
Nonlinear analysis of structures at high temperatures is studied. Both geometric and material nonlinearities are taken into account.Continuum mechanics relations are used to derive general finite element equations. An alternative formulation to Total Lagrangian (TL) and Updated Lagrangian (UL) formulations named Partially updated Lagrangian (PL) formulation i presented.An isotropic small strain co
