NONLINEAR FINITE DIFFERENCE ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE BEAMS WITH PARTIAL INTERACTION

A general formulation for the analysis of composite beams with partial interaction, including the influence of slip and separation at the interface between the two materials and nonlinear material and shear connector behaviour, is developed. Numerical solutions of the four basic equilibrium and compatibility equations are obtained by expressing the displacement derivatives in finite difference form and solving the resulting nonlinear algebraic equations iteratively.
