Numerical simulation of the non-linear transient response of slender beams

A simple numerical solution strategy for predicting the transient response of slender ductile beams, exhibiting geometric and/or material non-linear behaviour, is presented in this study. In the theoretical development of the problem the governing non-linear equation of motion, in variational form,...
