Static Analysis

This chapter contains static linear analysis problems which illustrate some of the features and capabilities of the ELFINI solver.

Static linear analysis consists in finding the deformed shape and the internal strains and stresses of an elastic structure subject to prescribed boundary conditions (displacement and traction types).

You will find in this chapter the following tests:
