Force-Based Element Integration Options in OpenSees
نویسنده
چکیده
A wide range of numerical integration options are available in OpenSees to represent distributed plasticity or non-prismatic section details in force-based beam-column elements, i.e., across the entire element domain [0, L]. For the Tcl interpreter of OpenSees, there is a specific input format for each integration option that follows a common input format for the element tag, nodes, and transformation tags. The general form of the forceBeamColumn command is:

Force-based Finite Element for Modelling the Cyclic Behaviour of Unreinforced Masonry Piers
A performance-based seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings requires the use of reliable models, able to predict their nonlinear force-displacement response including their displacement capacity. Among the possible methodologies, at different levels of complexity, macro-modelling using structural component elements has proved to be an approach that can provide satisfactory ac...
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 کاملModeling fluid–structure interaction by the particle finite element method in OpenSees
The OpenSees finite element software framework is extended for simulating fluid–structure interaction (FSI) by the particle finite element method (PFEM). At high levels of the framework, new classes handle meshing and interface detection of the fluid and structure domains and implement the fractional step method in order to solve the governing equations of linear momentum and mass conservation....
