Abstract
A method is presented for the non-linear force method of
frame analysis. A combinatorial approach is employed for
the formation of particular and complementary solutions,
leading to highly localized self-equilibrating stress systems.
The method of analysis is based on an Eulerian formulation,
which takes into account the effect of large joint translations
and rotations. Material non-linearity is also included using a
Ramberg-Osgood polynomial to represent generalized load-displacement
relationships. An efficient program is
developed and a number of frames are analyzed. The results
indicate that the presented method is highly accurate in
predicting large deformation responses of frames.
