Mg. Li, THE FINITE DEFORMATION OF BEAM, PLATE AND SHELL STRUCTURES - PART II - THE KINEMATIC MODEL AND THE GREEN-LAGRANGIAN STRAINS, Computer methods in applied mechanics and engineering, 156(1-4), 1998, pp. 247-257
Based on the kinematic property of the beam, plate and shell structure
s under finite deformation, we propose that the mechanical model of a
rigid line segment is suitable to describe the finite deformation of t
he structures. Using this model and the finite rotation matrix, the co
mplete forms of the Green-Lagrangian strains of these structures can b
e derived with a unified point of view. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
