    Concentrated approaches for nonlinear analysis of composite beams with partial interaction.
    (2021) Carvalho, Tawany Aparecida de; Lemes, Igor José Mendes; Silveira, Ricardo Azoubel da Mota; Dias, Luís E.S.; Barros, Rafael Cesário
    Two plane displacement-based formulations with concentrated nonlinear effects for numerical analysis of composite beams are presented here. The effects of geometric nonlinearity, plasticity and partial shear connection are considered. In these two approaches, the co-rotational system is defined to allow large displacements and rotations in the numerical model. The first formulation is based to Strain Compatibility Method, where the sections strains are explicitly evaluated as well as the slipping at the steel-concrete interface. Thus, the axial and flexural stiffness of the cross section is determined in each step of the incremental-iterative process. The second methodology considers rotational pseudo-springs at the finite elements ends to simulate of plasticity. Further- more, the effects of partial interaction can not be simulated by the inherently rotational behavior of the pseudo-springs. Thus, the cracking and partial interaction effects are approached through effective moment of inertia defined by normative criteria. Four composite beams are simulated with these two formulations and compared by the load-displacements paths. In all numerical re- sult findings these formulations are closed and accurate to the experimental data presented in lit- erature.

    Numerical analysis of steel–concrete composite beams with partial interaction : a plastic-hinge approach.
    (2021) Lemes, Igor José Mendes; Dias, Luís E. S.; Silveira, Ricardo Azoubel da Mota; Silva, Amilton Rodrigues da; Carvalho, Tawany Aparecida de
    A two-dimensional displacement-based formulation with a plastic-hinge approach for the numerical analysis of composite beams with partial shear connection is presented here. The co-rotational approach is applied in the numerical model to allow large displacements and rotations. The axial and transverse displacement functions are defined to avoid locking problems. The simulation of the materials and shear connection nonlinear behaviors are approached via the strain compatibility method (SCM), where the constitutive relations are explicitly used. The slip in the steel section–concrete slab interface is considered by the axial force decomposition in the cross-section level by the degree of composite action, without introducing degrees of freedom in the finite element. The numerical proposal of the present work is tested by simulating steel–concrete composite beams and comparing the obtained results with the experimental and numerical data already known. This formulation is verified as numerically stable and without locking phenomena, and good convergence with literature results was obtained. However, more refined finite element (FE) meshes are needed.
