As frame deforms under increasing load, changes in geometry may induce additional second order moments within members. These changes in geometry may be due to the movement at the ends […]
EK353
When component geometry changes, such as at a hole in a plate, the stress at that location is elevated.
EK127
The possible locations for plastic hinges to develop are at the points of concentrated loads, at the intersections of members involving a change in geometry and at the point of […]
EK87
Since slabs are often rather flexible structures, the changes in geometry sometimes have a considerable effect on the load-carrying capacity. These effects are called membrane effects and one speaks about […]
EK52
If the body has no abrupt changes in geometry, material properties and external conditions (e.g., load), the body can be divided into equal subdivisions and hence the spacing of the […]
EK46
Requirements for the principle of superposition to apply: The material must behave in a linear-elastic manner. The geometry of the structure must not undergo significant change when the loads are […]
EK20
Most structures are elastic bodies and the deformations under load are considered to be small so that changes in geometry are generally ignored. For this reason, when considering equilibrium the […]
EK04
The superposition is not valid in cases where the geometry of structure changes on application of load.
