Resumo:
Over the past few years various researchers have been developing geometrically non-linear finite elements formulations with the purpose of examining the behaviour of frames with semi-rigid connections. Among these works it is appropriate to mention Chan and Chui, [6], that developed a hybrid finite bar element containing two rotational springs condensed at its extremities. As this hybrid finite element, Chan and Chui [6] was implemented and tested in the solver FEMOOP, [28], it was verified that it presented an inadequate representation of bending moments, when distributed loads were used. This verification led the implementation of a rotational spring finite element that could tackle any loading conditions. The use of this element enables the users to accurate model the structural behaviour, without the need of any additional loading discretization. Additionally, this connection element also allows elasto-plastic simulation analyses of the connections, and even of the structures bars, to be performed. The main objective of the present investigation was to validate, based in updated literature investigations, the finite element formulations implemented. These procedures included linear (hybrid element and connection element) and non-linear (connection element) analysis of semi-rigid structural systems. The implementations were made by the development of a system, called FTOOL/SRC. This system enables parametric analyses of semi-rigid connections to be performed in a simple and compact form due to the use of an efficient graphic interface and a compact external solver FEMOOP [28].
