A new method for failure and post failure analysis of structures is proposed. A structure is modeled as an assembly of distinct elements. These elements are connected by distributed springs in both normal and tangential directions. The main objective of this paper...

A simple and efficient technique for nonlinear analysis of strucutres was developed and verified by the authors. The results showed good agreement in following the initiation, location and propagation of cracks and in calculating the failure load. One of the main...
