| Abstract | ||
| This is the second part of the paper(Rojek and Kleiber 1993) devoted to nonlinear dynamic analysis of structures consisting of rigid and deformable part. The first part contains a theoretical formulation of nonlinear equations of motion for the coupled system as well as a solution algorithm. The second part presents the computer implementation of the equations derived in the first part with a short review of the capabilities of the computer program used and the library of finite elements. Details of material nonlinearity treatment are also given. The paper is illustrated by discussing a practical problem of a safety cab analysis for an agricultural tractor. | ||
