Nonlinear analysis using load-displacement control
Young-Doo Kwon, Hyun-Wook Kwon and Beom-Soo Lim

 
Abstract
    A new load/displacement parameter method is proposed for the simultaneous control of applied loads and structural displacements at one or more points. The procedure is based on a generalized Riks?method, which utilizes load/displacement parameters as scaling factors to analyze post-buckling phenomena including snap-through or snap-back. The convergence characteristics are improved by employing new relaxation factors through an incremental displacement parameter, particularly in a region that exhibits severe numerical instability. The improved performance is illustrated by means of a numerical example.
 
Key Words
    post-buckling phenomena; snap-back phenomena; incremental load parameter; incremental displacement parameter; relaxation factor; relaxation method.
