The deformation measures of the beams of the network and that of the 2D body are introduced and the former are expressed in terms of the latter by making some kinematical assumptions. The expressions for the strain and kinetic energy densities of the network are then introduced and given in terms of the kinematic quantities of the 2D continuum. To account for the modelling abilities of the 2D continuum in the linear range, the eigenmode and eigenfrequencies of a given specimen are determined. The buckling and post-buckling behaviour of the same specimen, subjected to two different loading conditions are analysed as tests in the nonlinear range. The problems have been solved numerically by means of the C...

The frame is acted upon by a ‘dead’ load at the joint and is constrained there by an out-of-plane linear elastic spring. The possibility of warping constraints at the beam ends is also considered; the spring simulates the presence of braces in actual 3D frames. The numerical results are compared with those already obtained by the authors for an infinitely stiff spring.
