Abstract: A warping-inclusive kinematic coupling method to be used in finite-element analysis of members featuring wide-flange cross sections is proposed in this paper. This coupling method is used in mixed-dimension macromodels ...

Abstract: Tensile test data for structural steels are ubiquitous. However, the information monotonic loading provides with respect to the material’s characteristics is limited. Notably, features of inelastic response to cyclic ...

Abstract: Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses are utilized by engineers for performance-based seismic risk evaluation of new and existing structures. In this context, nonlinear component modeling criteria are typically based on ...

Abstract: Numerical models of structural components that deteriorate primarily due to geometric instabilities under multiaxis cyclic loading are sensitive to both the assumed geometric imperfections and the nonlinear material model ...
