Webinar: Plasticity in steel plates and shells

One of the reasons why the steel material is popular is because it exhibits an elasto-plastic behavior that allows extra capacity – through plastic redistribution – when the yield stress is reached locally.

Since SCIA Engineer 15 this behavior is supported with the nonlinear analysis type 'general plasticity' for steel plates and shells.

In this webinar you will get:

• Background information about the mathematical model;
• An overview of the various supported stress-strain laws;
• Several examples to illustrate the impact;
• Modelling tips to handle even connections with bolts and end-plates.
