Abstract
This paper presents a numerical procedure for accurate determination of a limit or a bifurcation point. The method minimizes simultaneously the first and the second variations of an admissible functional or iterates to satisfy the equilibrium and the semi definite condition for the tangent stiffness matrix. It can be readily incorporated into a computer program for non‐linear finite element analysis to improve its accuracy in the location of critical points.
