Yes Sir, I am tried this way also. But In post processor (deformed shape viewer), plastic hinges occouring at that small subdivided region and rest of steel material also. (I subdivided element in four parts, at each subdivided part plastic hinge will occur).
Is it safe, Sir??


Thank you for reply...

In section's discretization, because of different material properties, it won't selected multiple section for discretization.

How I apply SMA over that small region of plastic hinges with rest element is steel?

Sir, I was done it bye two ways but not get solution over it. (1) Firstly, I was choosen infrmFB element class. In different multiple sections i was selected materials (SMA & Steel) , but because of different reinforcement it was not selected. (How to select section's discretization??) (2) 2ndly...

I was tried several times , but not get exact solution. For implementation of SMA in plastic region only, I was subdivide the element & locate SMA over both end of the element. But there no accepted results obtain, plastic hinges also occurred also at that small subdived region. Please give me s...

Hello Sir/Mam, I want to apply properties of SMA in plastic region & rest i want steel. For this I have little bit queries. Is it possible, length of plastic hinges coincide with SMA material...??? For this I was trying define a material properties of SMA & section. Later moving toward eleme...

I want to apply the properties of SMA in plastic hinge region and rest I want steel...

Sorry for inconvenience...

I am doing a project on seismic performance of RC frame using SMA at plastic hinges of the frames. For this purpose I am using Static Pushover analaysis and Incremental Dynamic Analysis. Can you please help me to know how to locate SMA over a plastic hinge region in seismostruct. I refereed seismost...
