The proposed GBT formulation, for the elastic post-buckling analysis of isotropic thin-walled members, is able to handle various types of loading and arbitrary initial geometrical imperfections and, in particular, it can be used to perform \"exact\" or \"approximate\" (i.e., including only a few deformation modes) analyses. Concerning the solution of the system of GBT nonlinear equilibrium equations, the finite element method (FEM) constitutes the most efficient and versatile numerical technique and, thus, a beam FE is specifically developed for this purpose. The FEM implementation of the GBT post-buckling formulation is reported in some detail and then employed to obtain numerical results, which validate and illustrate the application and capabilities of the theory.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0219455403001002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,12,29]],"date-time":"2003-12-29T09:12:42Z","timestamp":1072689162000},"page":"461-490","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":106,"title":["NONLINEAR GENERALIZED BEAM THEORY FOR COLD-FORMED STEEL MEMBERS"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"03","author":[{"given":"N.","family":"SILVESTRE","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Civil Engineering Department, IST, Technical University of Lisbon, Av.
