Abstract n this paper, a computationally efficient strategy for the approximation of the non-
linear behaviour of structures through the finite element method is proposed. This proposal is based on the execution of a set of linear analyses in which the strength of the elements where the damage occurs is sequentially degraded and, in addition, complemented with a stabilized reduced numerical integration scheme for solid finite elements. Thus, the stiffness matrix only contains information of one integration point and, consequently, the stresses are computed only at that point. Also, due to the stabilization, it is possible More >
