question about coupling of flexure and shear in beam element

Post by 2015James »

hi everyone:
how to considering the coupling of flexure and shear in beam element, here is what i use in a model, is it right?
i use limitState materials and ZeroLength elemen to consider coupling of flexure and shear in beam element, the shear failure will occur when the total deformation (shear deformation add the flexure deformation ) reach the shear limit dfift deformation. I think using the total deformation (shear deformation add the flexure deformation ) is just considering the coupling of flexure and shear. is it right?
