Extension of the Linear Matching Method to frame structures made from a material that exhibits softening
This paper considers the problem of evaluating the maximum load that an elastic-plastic frame structure can withstand when material or element softening is present. Here we propose an extension of the Linear Matching Method to take into account material softening. The technique has two major steps:...
