INFLUENCE OF AXIAL FORCE ON THE FLEXURAL DEFLECTION OF EULER-BERNOULLI BEAM STRUCTURES SOLVED BY DQEM USING EDQ

摘要

The influence of axial force on the flexural deflection of Eulder-Bernoulli beam structures is analyzed by differential quadrature element method(DQEM) using extended differential quadrature(EDQ). The DQEM uses the differential quadrature to discretize the governing differential equation defined on each element, the transition conditions defined on the inter-element boundary of two adjacent elements and the boundary conditions of the beam. Numerical results solved by the developed numerical algorithm are presented. The convergence of the developed DQEM analysis model is efficient.
