- In this paper, a new fibre beam-column finite element based on forced formulations for analysis of structures under impact loads is developed. The force-based finite element approach was credited by experts as the best formulation for beam problems in terms of number of elements needed to reach convergence. The originality of the proposed model is that it uses an explicit algorithm in the formulation that ensures a stable numerical behaviour with no need for convergence checks, and only a moderate increase in numerical cost. This will allow for the first time for efficient analysis of structures under high impact loading.
