A Koiter-Type Method for Finite Element Analysis of Nonlinear Structural Behavior. Volume II. User's Manual for Program BEHAVE.
Abstract
The report contains the description of the FORTRAN language program BEHAVE that was used to obtain the numerical results for the example problems that are presented and discussed in Volume I. Program BEHAVE is designed for the analysis of the structural behavior of rigidly jointed planar frames. The finite element used for the analysis is the 'stability' element described in Section IV of Volume I. BEHAVE can perform a linear stability analysis, a Modified Structure method analysis, a direct nonlinear analysis, and combination of the above analyses. This volume consists of three parts: a User's guide; a programmer's manual; and a listing of the program and subroutines. (Author)
