Abstract

The present paper aims to contribute to the analysis semirigid steel connections by using a method based on the theoretical results of a new branch of Mechanics, called Nonsmooth Mechanics. Specificaly, the respective stress states of the steel connection under static loading are calculated by taking into account the development of plastification zones, unilateral contact and friction effects on the interfaces between connection members. Within the framework of the herein proposed method, effective two-dimensional finite element models, capable to describe the previously mentioned phenomena are constructed. The aforementioned models are simplifications of the respective three-dimensional ones and aim to reduce in a reliable way the huge computational effort required for the analysis of three-dimensional fine meshes of discretized steel connections. At the end of the paper numerical applications demonstrate the effectiveness and the applicability of aforementioned method.
