5.8 Develop the mixed finite element model of the following set of nonlinear equations
among the variables (u,w,M) of the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory with the von Krmn
strains:
-dNdx=f
-d2Mdx2-ddx(Ndwdx)=q
MEI+d2wdx2=0
where f(x) and q(x) are the distributed axial and transverse forces, respectively, EA
and EI are the axial and bending stiffnesses, and N is known in terms of u and w as
N=EA[dudx+12(dwdx)2]
Also, compute the tangent stiffness coefficients. Present the finite element model in the
standard format [see, for example, Eq.(5.2.32)] and define all coefficients.
