Abstract. This paper presents a novel hybrid FEM-based approach for
nonlinear buckling analysis of truss with initial length imperfection. The
two types of truss finite element
contribution deals with establishing
(perfection and imperfection element) considering large displacement
based on displacement formulation and mixed formulation. Therefore, the
hybrid global equation system is developed by assembling perfection and
imperfection truss elements. The incremental-iterative algorithm based on
the arc-length method is used to establish calculation programs for solving
geometrically nonlinear buckling analysis of truss with initial length
imperfection. Using a written calculation program, the numerical test is
presented to investigate the equilibrium path for plan truss with initial
member length imperfection.
1 Introduction
Many truss members have initial geometric imperfections as a result of manufacturing,
transporting, and handling processes. This initial member imperfection significantly
influences the buckling behaviour of the truss structure. In recent years, many research
works addressed the influence of geometrical imperfection on the behaviour of truss
structures [1-4]. For solving the buckling problem of truss structure, the finite element
method is considered the most popular and efficient method. In geometrical linear finite
element analysis, the length imperfection usually is calculated by adding equivalent loads
to the nodal external force vector. However, in geometrical nonlinear analysis, it cannot be
used. Generally, the solution of nonlinear buckling problem of truss based on displacement
finite element formulation requires the implementation of length imperfection to the mater
stiffness matrix. The operation of incorporating length imperfection considerably increases
the difficulty in constructing and solving nonlinear incremental balanced equations of the
system. For escaping difficulties of the mathematical treatment of imperfection, in [5] the
author proposed an approach to formulate the nonlinear buckling problem of truss with
imperfection based on mixed finite element formulation. The mixed model has significant
advantage over displacement-based formulation model but increases the solving system
dimension. Nowadays, the hybrid finite element approach is widely used to solve the

nonlinear contact mechanic problem such as displacement-based finite elements are
difficult to solve [6-9]. In this work, the author proposes a novel hybrid finite element
approach for constructing the solving system of equation. The main idea is establishing two
types of truss finite element considering large displacement based on displacement
formulation and mixed formulation. The global equation system is developed by
assembling two types of proposed truss elements. The solving algorithm of geometrically
nonlinear buckling analysis of truss system is built by employing arc length method due to
its efficiency to predict the proper response and follow the nonlinear equilibrium path
through limit. Therefore, a new incremental-iterative algorithm for solving constructed
system of equation and calculation program is established. The numerical results are
presented to verify the efficiency of the proposed method.

into two types of the truss elements: first type element eI – perfection truss element; eII -
imperfection truss element with initial length imperfection (shown in Fig.1).
