Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper presents a reduced-order multi-scale simulation approach for nonlinear analysis of structures with local nonlinearities. Using it, the traditional global structural analysis can be changed to that of a reduced-order system where only nodal displacements of nonlinear elements are solved using the Newton–Raphson method in a single iterative procedure. Meanwhile, two nonlinear force/stiffness correctors are introduced based on the stress decomposition to describe material nonlinearities of frame members. In addition, two simulation ways are used to deal with the nonlinearities of the yielding frame members. Finally, the static and transient structural systems are simulated to verify the approach.
