Abstract
A model for mild steel is proposed for use in inelastic analysis of frames. The model is characterized by a stiffness degradation factor, α\N, and a yield stress “growth” factor, β\N. These are obtained by fitting the model to results of uniaxial experiments, which are in turn used in a frame analysis program FRAME 63. The proposed material model has potential application to simulate the special features of mild steel in monotonic and reversed loadings. As a particular case, it represents Masing type of inelasticity, and another version, i.e., Masing inelasticity with stiffness degradation.
