An iteration procedure for non-linear finite element analyses of lateral buckling of CWR tracks (IM-TS-073)

In a previous Internal Memorandum (IM TS 68) the problem of lateral stability of CWR tracks under constrained thermal expansion, has been formulated in the format of the Finite Element method. A perturbation technique has been used for the solution of nonlinear equations. In the present work, an iteration procedure...
