Nonlinear Finite Element Model

The flattening behaviour of angle section beams subjected to pure bending is studied in this paper. Analytical solutions for static instabilities of angle section beams subjected to pure bending about its weak axis are derived using energy methods. Nonlinear finite element model using the code ANSYS is developed to simulate nonlinear snap-through instability of angle section beams under pure bending. The optimization assumption about flattening shape of the leg is proposed, through comparison of between the present solutions, experimental results, and the finite element results.
