RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Damage coupled to yield function for the elastoplastic analysis of framed structures A1 Chica Arrieta, Edwin Lenin A1 García Terán, José María A1 Lorenzana Ibán, Antolín K1 damage K1 yield function K1 yield surface AB A method for coupling the variable damage to the yield function of a 2D beam element is presented. The damage is represented by a scalar interna! variable which expresses the loss of strength of the material during ductile or fatigue processes and it is concentrated at the ends ofthe element. Yield surfaces, considering the interaction of bending moment, axial force, shear force and damage of material are also given. And the yield function obtained can be used to determine the elastoplastic stiffness matrix ofbeam element used for the structural analysis.
