Response sensitivity is needed for simulation applications such as optimization, reliability, and system identification. The exact response sensitivity of material nonlinear beam-column elements is derived for the displacement- and force-based formulations. For displacement-based beam-column elements the response sensitivity is straightforward to compute because the displacement field is specified along the element. A new approach is presented for computing the response sensitivity of force-based beam-column elements, in which the displacement field is not specified. In this approach, the response sensitivity depends on the derivative of unbalanced section forces because the element displacement field changes with the element state. Example nonlinear static analyses of steel and reinforced concrete structural systems verify the exact response sensitivity for force-based elements using the new approach.

Abstract
Response sensitivity is needed for simulation applications such as optimization, reliability, and system identification. The exact response sensitivity of material nonlinear beam-column elements is derived for the displacement- and force-based formulations. For displacement-based beam-column elements the response sensitivity is straightforward to compute because the displacement field is specified along the element. A new approach is presented for computing the response sensitivity of force-based beam-column elements, in which the displacement field is not specified. In this approach, the response sensitivity depends on the derivative of unbalanced section forces because the element displacement field changes with the element state. Example nonlinear static analyses of steel and reinforced concrete structural systems verify the exact response sensitivity for force-based elements using the new approach.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
