beam column element source code

Post by shisha »

Hi All,

Earlier I had said that I had build problems with Opensees1.5.2. I used the 1.4 version and it compiled successfully.

I added the timoshenko elasticBeamColumn element to the 1.4 version successfully (I can give the code if anyone needs it). If anyone can give me suggestion to fix the compilation problem in 1.5.2 (see earlier post by me) it would be helpful in addign this element to the latest version.

I also want to add the beam column element with point plasticity hinges at its ends that takes moment rotation curves, shear-deformation curves as input to represent material nonlinearity. If anyone is working on this or have code related to this kindly respond.

shisha.

You can add your own element by creating a copy of one of the element templates in the source code directory SRC/element. Look at OpenSees Days 2006 (could not find 2007) for an example of creating a new element: http://opensees.berkeley.edu/workshop/O ... cKenna.pdf

From looking at the source code I thought that in Opensees the elasticBeamColumn element is implemented as Bernoulli beam and not as Timoshenko beam. Am I mistaken? I was just wandering because Shisha had stated that he had implemented the Timoshenko element in an older version.

If anyone could clarify this issue that would be great.

Many thanks, Katrin

Dear shisha,
I'm trying to do the same with the newest version of opensees, I cannot understand why fmk didn't included your code; I kindly ask you if I can have your code for the Timoshenko beam in order to use it.

thanks

Sorry, I didn't know this. If shisha would send the code, I'll ask you to add it

thanks
