  • Abstract
The secant rigidity is used for the are-length method to solve the nonlinear finite elements problems. The advantage of this method is unnecessary of calculating the initial resistance term caused by the incremental step. The computational work is less and the programing is easier as compared with initial are-length method. This method can be widely used to solve nonlinear problems.
