Thanks for your responses.
I am using FEM as I am not familiar with the above methods.
Please forgive my ignorance, but as I understand, since the structure is statically indeterminate, i.e the degree of indeterminancy is 1 (4 unknown reaction forces minus 3 equations of equilibrium), in...
Hi there,
I am currently carrying out a buckling finite element analysis of a simple, slender beam-column structure. I am after the force-deflection curve for the structure when it is loaded at each one of 3 different locations (A, B and C).
The structure is pin jointed at the supports and a...
