...Lanfeng Deng; Yahui Zhang; Li-Qun Chen In this paper, an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) formulation based on the consistent corotational method is presented for the geometric nonlinear dynamic analysis of two-dimensional (2D) viscoelastic beams. In the ALE description, mesh nodes can be moved...
