The ratio of the plastic moment to the yield moment is known as theshape factor since it depends on the shape of the cross section.
EK587
When the compression flange width to thickness ratio is larger, the compression flange may buckle locally before the complete plastification of the section occurs and the plastic moment is reached. […]
EK585
When the width to thickness ratio is sufficiently small, the beam can be fully plastified and reach the plastic moment, such section are classified as compact sections.
EK429
The plastic design method is based on the following assumptions: The material has the capacity to undergo considerable plastic deformation without danger of fracture. Ductility of steel (that is, a […]
EK125
If material strain hardening is not considered in the analysis, a fully yielded cross-section can undergo indefinite rotation at a constant restraining plastic moment.
EK83
At the fully plastic moment both tension and compression faces are fully stressed at the yield stress.
EK81
Plastic moment is the moment resistance of a fully yielded cross-section, The cross-section must be fully compact to develop its plastic strength. The component plates of a section must not […]
