Trying to understand how the The Arc Length Method works

Trying to understand how the The Arc Length Method works

(OP)
This is how a paper describes it:



Is this what they are talking about? I found this youtube video seperately, I am not sure if what is illustrated below is the same as the text above talks about.

RE: Trying to understand how the The Arc Length Method works

From what I remember, you work in Abaqus. A detailed description of arc-length method (with figures) can be found in the documentation of this software (Theory > Procedures > Buckling and postbuckling > Modified Riks algorithm). Another good source of information about Riks method is Crisfield's book "Non-linear Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Structures".
