Flexible Multibody Dynamics Finite Element Formulation Applied to Structural Progressive Collapse Analysis

Abstract This paper presents a two-dimensional frame finite element methodology to deal with flexible multi-body dynamic systems and applies it to building progressive collapse analysis. The proposed methodology employs a frame element with Timoshenko kinematics and the dynamic governing equation is...
