A non-linear corotational 4-node plane element

摘要

A non-linear corotational 4-node plane element is presented. The main interested of the Received 14 September 2007 approach is that accurate and efficient linear elements can be transformed to non-linear elements with little work and without considering the assumptions used to derive these linear elements. Two numerical examples are presented. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
