Examples#
The following examples help you understanding how the API of m_n_kappa works.
Geometries and Materials form
the basis for creating Sections and Cross-sections.
Then again Moment-Curvature points,
Moment-Curvature- and
Moment-Axial-Force-Curvature curves
are computed using Cross-sections.
The curves and the Loading are needed to compute the
Deformation of your beam.
Due to nature of the problem of computing deformations using the \(M\)-\(N\)-\(\kappa\)-method all of the mentioned points are related to each other hierarchically. Therefore, the downstream articles repeat some of the basic concepts in short, i.e. for computing Deformations a cross-section is created.
In case you have a specific cross-section in mind, but you do not know how to build it, check out the Templates. You may find what you need there.
Templates#
The following templates show you a way to model specific cross-section-types with
m_n_kappa.
Besides the corresponding code also short-descriptions of the used geometric and material
instances are given.
The icons indicate what type of cross-section may be build here.
Currently, these templates focus on steel, concrete and steel-concrete-composite cross-sections.
Of course, due to the general approach of m_n_kappa using multi-linear stress-strain-relationships
a variety of other cross-sections using other materials and other geometries are conceivable.
In case you have a specific idea please consider Contributing.
