  • Abstract
A tangent stiffness matrix for quadrilateral plane stress element under large rotation with small strain is proposed in this paper,The corresponding program based on this theory has been worked out;The computation of examples with analytic values has verified that the element's formulation, its program given in this paper have strong nonlinear computation ability;A nonlinear whole-course analysis of stone arch bridge has been done in this paper.The computations presented preferably a comprehensive understanding of nonlinear characteristics of stone arch bridge with small span and could be beneficial for the engineer designers.
