Monotonic and Cyclic Modelling of Structural Steel for Finite Element Analysis
Abstract:
Nowadays, as a response to the promoted concept of performance-based seismic design, the finite element method (FEM) has become an omnipresent practice that supports the simulation of structural elements. This approach requires constitutive numerical models, which could reproduce both elastic and plastic behaviour of steel. Looking forward to a reliable FEM simulation, the modelling and calibration of steel undergoing monotonic and cyclic loading tests is investigated in this paper. With respect to monotonic tensile test, a sensitivity analysis regarding mesh refinement and finite element type is developed. Another inspected issue, such as high-strength steel modelling, taking into consideration low ductility and absence of yield plateau, is also presented. And finally, a model for structural steel, using the combined isotropic-kinematic hardening model, is introduced to simulate metal non-linear behaviour under ultra-low-cycle fatigue regime. All these numerical simulations are processed via Abaqus software package, and are validated by a set of experimental tests.
