In this regard, ordinary solution techniques lead to instability near the limit points and also have problems in case of snap-through and snap-back. Thus they fail to predict the complete load-displacement response. The arc-length method serves the purpose well in principle, received wide acceptance in finite element analysis, and has been used extensively. However modifications to the basic idea are vital to meet the particular needs of the analysis. This paper reviews some of the recent developments of the method in the last two decades, with particular emphasis on nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures.展开更多

Most of known results were given for the given function to be monotone. We discuss this equation for continuous solutions in the case that the given function is a PM(piecewise monotone) function, a special class of non-monotonic functions. Using extension method, we give a general construction of solutions for the polynomial-like iterative equation.展开更多
