Abstract:
The effective algorithm of static calculation of geometrically nonlinear compound thin structures is offered. Linear differential equations of moment theory are used. Nonlinearity is considered by assigning unknown initial angular displacement of each segment retaining the form of the generating line. Unknown values of algebraic equations resolving system are the arbitrary constants of the general solution and the initial angles of generating lines rotation. Linearization is realized by Newton–Raphson iterative method and provides the high precision of results.
