Numerical analysis of the nonlinear behavior of a damaged structural system based on immitational modeling

Jul 2026 · Building and reconstruction · 0 citations · 9 references

Abstract

In modern design practice, a numerical method for verifying the robustness of damaged structural systems based on imitation modeling is becoming increasingly common. This method utilizes the fundamental principles of macromodeling, according to which the elastic behavior of a structural system is determined by the operation of linearly elastic rods and plates, while nonlinear behavior is completely determined by the behavior of point and/or linear plastic hinges. Thus, an adequate description of the diagrams for plastic hinges is an important element of modeling. This article presents proposals for describing the parametric points of plastic hinges for bending, shear, and axial tension, which allows for describing the operation of a damaged structural system at all stages of its operation. It is proposed to limit the maximum rotation angles during bending, taking into account the shear failure criterion. The calculation results obtained using an imitation finite element model are compared with experimental data.
