Examples of Stress Hardening and Softening in Three-Dimensional Beams
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 125, Issue 9
Abstract
This note describes some interactions that can occur between stress resultants in elastic, three-dimensional structures when geometric (beam-column) nonlinearities are considered. These effects generalize the well-known two-dimensional effect of the axial load upon bending stiffness when beam-column theory is employed. Material nonlinearities are not considered.
