    Geometric nonlinear analysis of plane frames with generically nonuniform shear-deformable members.
    (2017) Araújo, Francisco Célio de; Ribeiro, Iara Souza; Silva, Kátia Inácio da
    This paper employs the Direct Stiffness Method (DSM) to carry out geometric nonlinear analysis of plane frames with nonuniform physical-geometric characteristics. At the element level, a flexibility system of equations based on the principle of virtual forces (PVF) is established to calculate the tangent stiffness matrix and the equivalent nodal loads. The formulation allows for the easy modeling of shear-deformable frame elements with generic rigidity variation along their axes. In addition, Green's theorem is considered to express all the necessary section properties in terms of boundary integrals. This considerably simplifies the modeling of complex cross sections of arbitrary shapes. A “boundary-element” mesh is then used to model the geometric description of the cross sections. At the structure level, to determine the nonlinear equilibrium trajectories for the frame, we apply a co-rotational updated Lagrangian formulation along with an incremental-iterative full Newton-Raphson process. Large displacements and internal member forces are accurately reconstituted. Frameworks having elements with geometrically complex cross-sections varying along their axes are analyzed to validate the strategy proposed.

    Boundary-integral-based process for calculating stiffness matrices of space frame elements with axially varying cross section.
    (2017) Araújo, Francisco Célio de; Pereira, Renato Antônio Tavares
    This paper presents a strategy to directly compute the stiffness matrix of 3D (space) frame elements having arbitrary cross sections and generic rigidity variation along their axes. All the necessary section properties are determined by means of formulations based purely on boundary integrals. To determine the torsional constant and the torsion center, this strategy applies the Boundary Element Method (BEM). To model thin-walled crosssections, the strategy calls for activating integration algorithms devised specifically to deal with the nearly singular integrals involved. To express all other section properties (i.e. area, first and second moments of area, and the shear form factors) in terms of boundary integrals, the strategy employs Green's theorem. The existing boundary-element meshes, used to determine the torsion constants, are employed to evaluate the corresponding boundary integrals. In applying the proposed strategy – the pure boundary-integral-based process (PBIP) – we consider space frame elements with geometrically complex cross-sections varying along their axes.
