  2. Plastic hinge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_hinge

    Diagram of a structure featuring plastic hinges. In the structural engineering beam theory, plastic hinge is the deformation of a section of a beam where plastic bending occurs. [1] In earthquake engineering plastic hinge is also a type of energy damping device allowing plastic rotation [deformation] of an otherwise rigid column connection. [2]

  3. Section modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_modulus

    In structural engineering, the choice between utilizing the elastic or plastic (full moment) strength of a section is determined by the specific application. Engineers follow relevant codes that dictate whether an elastic or plastic design approach is appropriate, which in turn informs the use of either the elastic or plastic section modulus.

  4. Steel design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_design

    The design and use of steel frames are commonly employed in the design of steel structures. More advanced structures include steel plates and shells . In structural engineering, a structure is a body or combination of pieces of the rigid bodies in space that form a fitness system for supporting loads and resisting moments .

  5. Plastic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_Moment

    In structural engineering, the plastic moment (M p) is a property of a structural section. It is defined as the moment at which the entire cross section has reached its yield stress . This is theoretically the maximum bending moment that the section can resist – when this point is reached a plastic hinge is formed and any load beyond this ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_S._Beedle

    Beedle was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1972 "for contributions to steel structures research and design practice, especially plastic design and residual stress effects." [2] The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat honored Beedle with creation of the Lynn S. Beedle Achievement Award.

  7. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_(engineering)

    Some metals, such as mild steel, reach an upper yield point before dropping rapidly to a lower yield point. The material response is linear up until the upper yield point, but the lower yield point is used in structural engineering as a conservative value. If a metal is only stressed to the upper yield point, and beyond, Lüders bands can ...
