Element Method

This document explores the possibility of the discrete element method (DEM) being applied in nonlinear dynamic analysis of space frame structures. The method models the analyzed object to be composed by finite particles and the Newton’s second law is applied to describe each particle’s motion. The parallel-bond model is adopted during the calculation of internal force and moment arising from the deformation. The procedure of analysis is vastly simple, accurate and versatile. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the accuracy and applicability of this method in handling the large deflection and dynamic behaviour of space frame structures. Besides, the method does not need to form stiffness matrix or iterations, so it is more advantageous than traditional nonlinear finite element method.
