Abstract
Abstract In this study, the influence of concentrated damage on the stability of beams under static loads is investigated according to a co-rotational-based large displacement approach. Well-known benchmark beam-like structures have been considered under different loading conditions and damage scenarios. The concentrated damage has been modelled by means of a cross section reduction of a beam element, following a strategy already adopted in the literature. The results have been expressed in terms of buckling loads and post-buckling responses for different damage scenarios associated with a concentrated damage characterized by different positions, intensities, and extensions.
