On the equivalence of dynamic relaxation and the Newton-Raphson method Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Dynamic relaxation is a form-finding and analysis method that has proven its effectiveness in the context of tension/compression structures such as cable nets, membranes and tensegrity structures. Recently, however, an increasing interest in bending-active structures has stimulated researchers to include the effects of bending and torsion in the dynamic relaxation process, using either Three-Degree-of-Freedom (3-DoF) beam elements (Barnes et al. ...
