Evaluation of Force-Based Frame Element Response Sensitivity Formulations
The direct differentiation method (DDM) has been shown to be an accurate and efficient approach to computing the sensitivity of structural response to uncertain parameters of constitutive models and finite-element formulations. Although it is well-known that the DDM should be consistent with the numerical time stepping procedure at the structural level, it is possible for element-level numerica...
متن کاملResponse Sensitivity of Geometrically Nonlinear Force-Based Frame Elements
To expand the scope of accurate and efficient gradient-based applications in structural engineering, the direct differentiationmethod (DDM) is applied to compute the response sensitivity of force-based frame finite elements with combined material and geometric nonlinearity where the transverse displacement field is determined by curvature-based displacement interpolation. Sensitivity is develop...
متن کاملShape sensitivities in the reliability analysis of nonlinear frame structures
A unified and comprehensive treatment of shape sensitivity that includes variations in the nodal coordinates, member cross-section properties, and global shape parameters of inelastic frame structures is presented. A novelty is the consideration of geometric uncertainty in both the displacementand force-based finite element formulations of nonlinear beam-column behavior. The shape sensitivity e...
متن کاملDeterioration Modeling of Steel Moment Resisting Frames Using Finite-Length Plastic Hinge Force-Based Beam-Column Elements
The use of empirically calibrated moment-rotation models that account for strength and stiffness deterioration of steel frame members is paramount in evaluating the performance of steel structures prone to collapse under seismic loading. These deterioration models are typically used as zero-length springs in a concentrated plasticity formulation; however, a calibration procedure is required whe...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Curved-TADAS Damper on Seismic Response of Moment Resisting Steel Frame
In this study, the performance of triangular added damping and stiffness (TADAS) dampers combined with curved dampers (Curved-TADAS damper) is evaluated in moment resisting steel frame (MRSF). These dampers are passive and install in the beam-column connection region. Variable parameters of this study involve the width of curved damper (50, 75 and 100 mm), the thickness of TADAS damper (5 and 1...
