Abstract A finite strip method is presented for the geometrically nonlinear analysis of prismatic structures under arbitrary loading. The method employs an iterative finite element approach but replaces numerical integration by an explicit formulation. A computer program has been developed and is described in the paper; a numerical example is given.
