The purpose of this work is to investigate solutions for an enhanced multifiber beam element accounting for shear and torsion. Higher order interpolations functions are used to avoid any shear locking phenomena and the cross section warping kinematics is extended to non-linear behavior using advanced constitutive laws. The efficiency of the proposed modeling strategies is tested with experimental results of concrete structural elements subjected to severe loading.
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.
