Abstract: A hysteretic plate finite element for inelastic, static and dynamic analysis is presented and its performance is compared with currently used methods. A smooth, 3D hysteretic rate-independent model is utilized generalizing ...

Abstract: A hysteretic shell finite element for the nonlinear, static, and dynamic analysis of structures is presented, formulated on the basis of classical theory of plasticity and finite deformation. The generalized smooth, ...

Abstract: A smooth hysteretic formulation for modeling of damage is presented, emanating from damage mechanics and classical theory of plasticity. This generalized smooth, rate-independent three-dimensional (3D) Bouc–Wen type model ...
