EBBEF2p - A Computer Code for Analysing Beams on Elastic Foundations

Iancu Bogdan Teodoru

Abstract


The development of a finite element computer code for the static structural analysis of beams on elastic foundation is described. Called EBBEF2p (Euler-Bernoulli Beams on Two-Parameter Elastic Foundationis) this code is written in the computer programme package MATLAB and can handle a wide range of static loading problems involving a one-dimensional beam supported by elastic foundation. The theoretical basis for the code, its computer implementation, and its
use to solve example problems are discussed too.
