Accurate geometric stiffness matrix formulation of beam finite element

Alternate estimation of beam buckling load is presented in this Chapter. The standard procedure using a variational principle approach is usually utilized a cubic polynomial approach for the beam displacement shape such that the geometric stiffness matrix is a function of the geometric length of th...
