Symplectic Integration and Nonlinear Dynamic Symmetry Breaking of Frames

An accurate beam finite element is used to solve nonlinear vibration of arched beams and framed structures. The nonlinear governing equations of a skeletal structure are integrated numerically using symplectic integration schemes so that the Poincaré integral invariant of a Hamiltonian flow are pres...
