A large strain finite element formulation for one dimensional membrane elements

A finite element formulation suitable for large strain analysis of one-dimensional membranes is described which has applications to the analysis of problems in soil mechanics involving reinforced earth. The finite element equations, which are derived for a plane strain iso-parametric element of arbi...
