  2. Direct stiffness method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_stiffness_method

    The member deformations can be expressed in terms of system nodal displacements r in order to ensure compatibility between members. This implies that r will be the primary unknowns. The member forces Q m {\displaystyle \mathbf {Q} ^{m}} help to the keep the nodes in equilibrium under the nodal forces R .

  3. Macaulay's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaulay's_method

    Simply supported beam with a single eccentric concentrated load. An illustration of the Macaulay method considers a simply supported beam with a single eccentric concentrated load as shown in the adjacent figure. The first step is to find . The reactions at the supports A and C are determined from the balance of forces and moments as

  4. Kirchhoff–Love plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchhoff–Love_plate_theory

    Deformation of a thin plate highlighting the displacement, the mid-surface (red) and the normal to the mid-surface (blue) The Kirchhoff–Love theory of plates is a two-dimensional mathematical model that is used to determine the stresses and deformations in thin plates subjected to forces and moments.

  5. Infinitesimal strain theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinitesimal_strain_theory

    For infinitesimal deformations of a continuum body, in which the displacement gradient tensor (2nd order tensor) is small compared to unity, i.e. ‖ ‖, it is possible to perform a geometric linearization of any one of the finite strain tensors used in finite strain theory, e.g. the Lagrangian finite strain tensor, and the Eulerian finite strain tensor.

    The step size is =. The same illustration for = The midpoint method converges faster than the Euler method, as .. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations are methods used to find numerical approximations to the solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs).

  7. Displacement (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(geometry)

    Displacement is the shift in location when an object in motion changes from one position to another. [2] For motion over a given interval of time, the displacement divided by the length of the time interval defines the average velocity (a vector), whose magnitude is the average speed (a scalar quantity).

  8. Duffing equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duffing_equation

    The equation is given by ¨ + ˙ + + = ⁡ (), where the (unknown) function = is the displacement at time t, ˙ is the first derivative of with respect to time, i.e. velocity, and ¨ is the second time-derivative of , i.e. acceleration.

  9. Finite strain theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_strain_theory

    A displacement field is a vector field of all displacement vectors for all particles in the body, which relates the deformed configuration with the undeformed configuration. The distance between any two particles changes if and only if deformation has occurred. If displacement occurs without deformation, then it is a rigid-body displacement.
