The paper includes the following models for nonlinear structural analysis purpose: (1) uniaxial spring mode (or one-component model);(2) multi-axial spring model (MS model). Moment-curvature relation model considers distributed nonlinearity as well. By specifying the relation of moment and curvature at critical sections, it is not a discretized-section but similar to the uniaxial model in including no interaction among bending and axial tension/compression. This paper describes the models and presents the related formula.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
