4.13.15. HingeEndpointΒΆ
- beamIntegration('HingeEndpoint', tag, secI, lpI, secJ, lpJ, secE)
Create a HingeEndpoint beamIntegration object. Endpoint integration over each hinge region moves the integration points to the element ends; however, there is a large integration error for linear curvature distributions along the element.
tag
(int)tag of the beam integration.
secI
(int)A previous-defined section object for hinge at I.
lpI
(float)The plastic hinge length at I.
secJ
(int)A previous-defined section object for hinge at J.
lpJ
(float)The plastic hinge length at J.
secE
(int)A previous-defined section object for the element interior.
Arguments and examples see HingeMidpoint.
