✦ Synopsis

The paper describes a sustained line of development of methods of nonlinear analysis of structural elements and frames using the finite difference method. Analysis for the ultimate load of beam-columns consisting of more than one material was the initial application. Subsequently, the method was extended to composite frames. In recent years, the problem of nonlinear response of structures exposed to fire has also been successfully solved. In all cases, good correlation with experiments has been obtained for deflections, ultimate loads and strains within the crosssection. Apart from use in design, the related computer programs have been successfully used for developing design aids.

This paper demonstrates a simple but accurate analytical method usable for the preliminary design stages of doubly symmetric single and double frame-tubes with braces in high-rise structures. The present method is formulated by replacing the tube with an equivalent rod, in which the effects of bendi

In this paper, we present an algorithm that solves a time-domain nonlinear coupled system arising in nonlinear optics. The algorithm is an explicit nonlinear finite-difference method (NFDM) based on the exact solution of the nonlinear discrete equations. It enables simulations that preserve the char
