A Discrete Analysis of Dynamic Plastic Response of Beam-Columns

Beam-Column의 동적(動的) 역성(逆性) 응답(應答)에 관한 이산화(離散化) 해석(解析)

In this paper, dynamic elastic, plastic response of beam-columns is analysed using discrete models. composed of rigid bars and springs. The equation of motion is formulated including the shear deformation effect, and the stress change of yielding points is calculated with various yielding criteria. The effect of initial axial force is considered by two ways: (1) including the effect in interaction curve only. (2) including the effect directly in the equation of motion in terms of initial stiffness method is also used in nonlinear interaction procedure. It is found that this model is very effective in analysing not only the plastic response but the elastic response, and present method is more efficient than Finite Element Method from the viewpoint of calculation time and accuracy.
