A shallow arch beam is modeled and subjected to a 20,000N midspan point load to analyze the linear and nonlinear (large deflection) midspan displacements. The beam has a rectangular cross section and is pinned at both ends. A linear analysis is first performed and the midspan displacement is obtained. Then a nonlinear geometric analysis is conducted by enabling large displacements over 10 substeps, and the final large deflection midspan displacement is determined and compared to the linear solution.
