1. Introduction When we analyze finite element structures with extremely large defonnation, non-linear problems are caused by not
only geometrical characteristics of an element but also elements' or nodes' contact phenomena. Contact problem is a
complex non-linear case and it is important to consider how to express the phenomena using digitalized data TIlere are
numerous types of contact phenomena that are adoptable in finite element analyses. For example, node-node contact,
node-element contact, node-surface contact, etc. From geometricaIly non-linearity of an element and the limitation of
segment element's size make the contact problem is extremely difficult to solve.
TIle main objective of this study is to apply Tangent Stiffness Method for simulation of a non-friction contact
phenomenon between nodes and elements. Furthennore, by adding some alteration to the contact judgment, various
types of structures can be applied to perfonn contact analysis. 1 A:aJ~si: Method

For release contact case, the judgment is perfonned when the value of Contact Force becomes les than zero. As
illustrated in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, the perpendicular vector for cosine vector of the contact element c is defined as ii . When the Contact Force Y value becomes Ie than zero or changes direction, target node c is released and the

Chapter One Large Deformational Analysis Theory
1.1 Tangent Stiffness Method for two dimensional structure analysis
1.1.1 Outline
This chapter presents the derivation of Tangent Stiffness and Tangent Geometric Stiffness
equations; also the chapter describes iteration process for Unbalanced Force equation solution and
geometrical non-linear structure analysis technique for Tangent Stiffness Method.
The Tangent Stiffness Equation can be easily derived by differentiation of Equilibrium
Equation that connects Nodal Force vector in global coordinate system and Element Force vector
in local coordinate system. Element Force that works on element end is completely prescribed by
Element Force Equation. In this equation, element stiffness is independent from the element
displacement; it is caused by the non-linearity of the Tangent Geometrical Stiffness. Also the
Element Force Equation precisely represents element behavior, avoiding approximation even for
complex cases.
Furthermore, by applying Principle of Stationary Potential Energy, it is possible to express a
symmetric matrix for Tangent Geometric Stiffness. Using this Tangent Geometric Stiffness
matrix makes possible to express strict element behavior that prescribed in the Element Force
Equation.
Tangent Stiffness Method avoids the derivation of complicated non-linear element stiffness
equation with non-linear material properties, which is quite difficult to formulate. Only strict
Compatibility Equation and Equilibrium Equation are used for iteration process to converge
the Unbalanced Force.
Iterative solution in Tangent Stiffness Method is mathematically equal to Newton-Raphson
Method technique. Comparing the Tangent Stiffness Method to the Newton-Raphson Method
applied in Finite Element Method (FEM), it shows overwhelmingly high efficiency of Tangent
Stiffness Method in convergence performance.
1.1.2 General equation of Tangent Stiffness Equation
In one element inside a finite element structure, Element Force vector S and element
deformation vector s related to Element Force Equation are defined as in the equation (1.2),
(disintegration is completed at this point).
S=ks (1.1)
( k :=: Stiffness Matrix)
After differentiation, it becomes
os = Kbs (1.2)
3
The tangent line of element force equation is applied only in case of considering geometrical
non-linear performance of element deformation component. In addition, if the definition of
element behavior is linear, then element stiffness is defined as k = K .
Here, if local coordinate system of one element component shows nodal force vector in a primary
balance condition is D, Equilibrium matrix is J, the next Equilibrium Equation is derived.
JS=D (1.3)
After differentiation,
(1.4)
where 8S and 8.J, make possible to strictly express the linear function of nodal displacement
vector &I in the local coordinate system (1.4), it can be rewritten as follows
(1.5)
. The equation (1.5) shows the Tangent Stiffness Equation for Tangent Stiffness Method. Here
Ko is Element Stiffness Matrix, obtained by converting K of equation (1.2) into a local
coordinate system in Compatibility Equation which is calculated at each iteration step. KG is a
Tangent Geometrical Stiffness with non-linear characteristics from Compatibility Equation
which links nodal displacement vector and element deformation vector. It is also essential to
develop an equation that strictly connects the geometrical non-linear characteristics and rigid body
displacements. In Tangent Stiffness Method, strict Tangent Stiffness Equation can be obtained
by a concise induction process without calculating non-linear stiffness equation. For this, the
complexity of the induction process in Lagrangian style Finite Element Method is relatively
complicated comparing to the method mentioned above.
1.1.3 Derivation of Tangent Geometrical Stiffness Matrix with energy principles
Regarding to equation (1.4) and equation (1.5), if Tangent Geometrical Stiffness KG is
expressed as
K _ 8(JJS) G - 8Jd
(1.6)
according to expansion of Principle of Stationary Potential Energy, an element force vector
obtained from primary balance condition leads into expression of Tangent Geometrical Stiffness
matrix.

and Nodal Force vector, expressed as scalar quantities versus energy. The first quadrant represents
Stiffness Equation, the second quadrant - Equilibrium Equation, the third quadrant - Element
Force Equation, and the last quadrant - Compatibility Equation. In addition, the inner rectangle
shows primary balance condition, and the outer rectangle presents balance condition after nodal
force increment when external force has been applied. Here, if Strain Energy is V and
External Energy is U ,so, the Total Potential Energy II is
lI=U-V (1. 7)
After deformation, Total Potential Energy II' can be expressed in the following way
(1.8)
If balance condition before and after deformation is assumed to be constant, according to the
Principle of Stationary Potential Energy,
81I =0 8Ad
81I' = 0 8Ad
(1.9), (1.10)
Figure 1.1 shows that V; is not being influenced by the increment of nodal displacement Ad ,
therefore,
(1.11)
The differential for increment of nodal displacement Ad for Vii, AV ,U li ,and
AU becomes
8AV =AD 8Ad
8U# 8AsT -=--S 8Ad 8Ad
8A U = _8_ f" ASdAs = 8L1sT ~ t' ASdAs = 8AsT
AS ~d ~d ~d~s ~d
So, equation (1.10) can be rewritten as follows.
8AsT
(S+AS)=D+AD 8Ad
Therefore, it is clear that equation (1.16) and equation (1.3) are identical.
J +AJ = 8AsT
8Ad
(1.12), (1.13), (1.14)
(US)
(U6)
(I.l7)
According to equation (1.4) and equation (1.5), the Tangent Geometrical Stiffness is
6
(1.18)
If a finite increment of element deformation vector As expands as a quadratic function Ad , the
work quantity that performed by element force S and increment As, the Tangent Geometrical
Stiffness KG can easily be expressed by second differential of Ad ,according to geometrical
quantity and dynamic quantity in primary balance condition. Therefore, the Tangent Geometrical
Stiffness Matrix from equation (1.18) expressed in particular form is
(1.19)
1.1.4 Iteration procedure for Tangent Stiffness Method
The procedure of Tangent Stiffness Method can be implemented in the way described below. The
iteration technique proceeds until convergence of Unbalanced Force to a strict balance position by
using loading steps. The common procedure steps are:
Primary displacement

Figure 1.2 shows a convergence concept diagram for Tangent Stiffness Method. The
calculation goes clockwise. The first quadrant represents relation of displacement and load. In
Tangent Stiffness Method, non-linear stiffness equation is not involved in calculation process
and it is marked as a dotted line on the graph. The fourth quadrant represents the condition of
compatibility, that expresses relation between nodal displacements Ad in global coordinate
system and element deformation vector As in the local coordinate system. The third quadrant
represents Element Force Equation; where element behavior is prescribed in order to obtain
element force vector S from element deformation vector. The second quadrant represents
Equilibrium Equation, which is obtained from Element Force vector and the coordinate
transformation for the current displacement. This is necessary to calculate in order to seek Nodal

Summary, iteration process in Tangent Stiffness Method can be expressed as
(1.20)
Thus, from the comparison between iteration process of Finite Element Method, equation
(1.20) and calculation performed by Tangent Stiffness Method, it is not necessary to formulate or
apply any approximation concept. Although it is almost impossible to express strict solution using
non-linear stiffness equation in reality, (actually, it is quite impossible to be expressed with any
analytic technique, and furthermore, it is not necessary to express any of it in this method). The
results from the iterating process which was explained previously, is presented by the dotted line
in Figure 1.2 that shows non-linear stiffness equation which is solved strictly while passing
through the curved line in a random step.
In addition, Figure 1.3 is a flow chart for a geometrical non-linear structure analysis program
performed by Tangent Stiffness Method According to the figure, the expression for each
coefficient of Tangent Stiffness Matrix was obtained from the Unbalanced Force calculation; and
it shows that composition of a logical algorithm becomes possible without any complicated
procedure such as numerical value integration.
Furthermore, this method can be easily adapted for three-dimensional rigid frame analysis
which requires considering rotational displacements. As in this method, node rotation is defined as
independent from strain point in an element, and it is possible to apply rotational composition
technique by using coordinate transformation matrix.

1.2 Application of Tangent Geometrical Stiffness Method in Plane Frame Structure
It is possible to obtain Tangent Geometrical Stiffness for plane frame structure by substituting
expansion of Compatibility Equation to equation (1.19). However in this chapter, derivation by a
simple induction process which requires differential of Equilibrium Equation will be performed.

Further, node i is a pin fixed node, and node j is movable in element axial direction or a roller
node, direction from node i to node j is set as primary axial direction, and beam coordinate system
is applied for element coordinate system. In addition, Figure 1.5 shows that when replacing global
coordinate system to element coordinate system, expression of Nodal Force that works on the
same element's both ends can be displayed in following vector form.
(1.22)
Therefore, if directional cosine vector is {a,,8} and element length is I , then Equilibrium
Equation between Element Force vector and Nodal Force vector can be expressed in matrix form.

Figure 1.6 shows non-stressed state for two nodes of a beam element which is defined as a
straight line, and it is considered in balance state when axial force N and edge moment M; ,
M j are applied on both ends of it. Here, Tensile Stiffness EA ,Bending Stiffness E1 ,
and non-stress length 10 are set for the beam. In addition, Us ---+ Vs coordinate is assumed as
the primary axis of element axial direction for the Local Coordinate System.
When considering small linear element of beam element in an equilibrium state, the balance of
moment on the right end is;

if there is no intermediate force, differential for Shear Force Q will be 0 and the differential for

where, if we substitute M = -E1(d2vj dUs2
) to equation (1.33), then the differential equation
of deflection will be as follows.

Chapter 2 Non-friction contact problem in a plane frame structure with large deformations
2.1 Introduction
Contact phenomenon is complex nonlinear problem to solve which and it is important to
consider the physics of the problem such as load conditions, material properties, support
conditions in order to achieve a strict convergence solution. The description of contact between a
node and a beam element can be simply illustrated in the following figures. Figure 2.1 represents
pre-contact case and Figure 2.2 represents post-contact case. The existence of geometrical
material between node i and node j, prevents the target point (contact node) pass through the
beam element. The calculation for Element Force Equation in this case is almost the same for the
plane frame calculations that were explained in the previous chapter. The only difference is
modification of contact element by implanting additional node. The calculation procedure will be
explained in details in the following page.
