Physical and geometrical non-linear analysis of plane frames considering elastoplastic semi-rigid connections by the positional FEM

This study presents an alternative Finite Element formulation based on positions to model plane frames considering geometrical non-linear and elastoplastic behavior for members and semi-rigid connections. The formulation includes shear effects and allows the consideration of important mechanical beh...
