International audienceThe reassessment of existing structures leads to analyse the impact of local defects on the structural behavior. This paper proposes a cracked beam finite element with a view to introducing the effect of large through-cracks in the structural analysis for framed structures like jacket offshore platforms. The model parameters are identified for several joint typologies using 3D finite element results
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.
