Element MVLEM
Developed and Implemented by:

The MVLEM element command is used to generate a two-dimensional Multiple-Vertical-Line-Element-Model (MVLEM; Vulcano et al., 1988; Orakcal et al., 2004) for simulation of flexure-dominated RC wall behavior. A single model element incorporates six global degrees of freedom, three of each located at the center of rigid top and bottom beams, as illustrated in Figure 2a. The axial/flexural response of the MVLEM is simulated by a series of uniaxial elements (or macro-fibers) connected to the rigid beams at the top and bottom (e.g., floor) levels, whereas the shear response is described by a shear spring located at height ch from the bottom of the wall element. Shear and flexural responses of the model element are uncoupled. The relative rotation between top and bottom faces of the wall element occurs about the point located on the central axis of the element at height ch (Figure 2b). Rotations and resulting transverse displacements are calculated based on the wall curvature, derived from section and material properties, corresponding to the bending moment at height ch of each element (Figure 2b). A value of c=0.4 was recommended by Vulcano et al. (1988) based on comparison of the model response with experimental results.

Element SFI_MVLEM

The SFI_MVLEM command is used to construct a Shear-Flexure Interaction Multiple-Vertical-Line-Element Model (SFI-MVLEM, Kolozvari et al., 2014a, b), which captures interaction between axial/flexural and shear behavior of RC structural walls and columns under cyclic loading. The SFI_MVLEM element (Figure 1a) incorporates 2-D RC panel behavior described by the Fixed-Strut-Angle-Model (nDMaterial FSAM, Figure 1b; Ulugtekin, 2010; Orakcal et al., 2012), into a 2-D macroscopic fiber-based model (MVLEM). The interaction between axial and shear behavior is captured at each RC panel (macro-fiber) level, which further incorporates interaction between shear and flexural behavior at the SFI_MVLEM element level.

uniaxialMaterial SteelMPF
Developed and Implemented by:
Kristijan Kolozvari, California State University Fullerton

John Wallace, Univeristy of California, Los Angeles
This command is used to construct a uniaxialMaterial SteelMPF, which represents the well-known uniaxial constitutive nonlinear hysteretic material model for steel proposed by Menegotto and Pinto (1973), and extended by Filippou et al. (1983) to include isotropic strain hardening effects. The relationship is in the form of curved transitions (Figure 1), each from a straight-line asymptote with slope E0 (modulus of elasticity) to another straight-line asymptote with slope E1 = bE0 (yield modulus) where b is the strain hardening ratio. The curvature of the transition curve between the two asymptotes is governed by a cyclic curvature parameter R, which permits the Bauschinger effect to be represented, and is dependent on the absolute strain difference between the current asymptote intersection point and the previous maximum or minimum strain reversal point depending on whether the current strain is increasing or decreasing, respectively. The strain and stress pairs (r, r) and ( 0, 0) shown on Figure 1 are updated after each strain reversal.
