Error using "nDMaterial FAReinforcedConcretePlaneStress"

[polimeruvijay]

Dear OpenSees Community Members

I am using "nDMaterial FAReinforcedConcretePlaneStress" for modelling a framed shear wall, I used nonlinear beam column elements to model the beams and columns and used "nDMaterial FAReinforcedConcretePlaneStress" for modelling wall elements. Joined the common nodes of beam, columns and plane stress elements using EqualDOF command. I subjected the sehar wall to cyclic loading.

My problem is: Upto certain displacement cycles, analysis is working good but after that the norm value is becoming higher and higher, no convergence at all in the load-displacement plots. values of load-displacement looks like garbage values.

I as have attached the "nDMaterial FAReinforcedConcretePlaneStress" definition as below.

It looks like you should set the convergence tolerances to smaller values to force the analysis to converge and use adaptive solution strategies

[polimeruvijay]

Dear Selim Gunay

Right now I am using a tolerance of 0.01 (NormDispIncr) and KrylovNewton Algorithm for analysis. Could you please suggest any other algorithms which can help solving the error.

Thank you
Vijay

these materials cause problems .. i have some newer materials for modeling walls .. you might even try forgetting the beam elements with these .. here is some code copied from an example put together by Dr. Petrone

Dear FMK

Thank you very much. It seems, "PlasticDamageConcretePlaneStress " and "PlaneStressLayeredMaterial " are available in the latest revisions. I downloaded the source codes. I will update the status on the new materials soon.

Could you please send the download details of Dr. Petrone's Input files and corresponding thesis/research papers for understanding the formulation details.

Thank you

Hi Dr. McKenna,

I'm experimenting with this material as well for modelling walls... if there's any information about the "damage material data" parameters from the sample code you posted it would be very useful!

From code:
set Ap 0.1 ;#damage material data
set An 1.5 ;#damage material data
set Bn 0.75 ;#damage material data
set Beta 0.4

Thanks in advance,

Josh

Dear JoshWoods

How are you experimenting with the above mentioned models, as they are not in the OpenSEES 2.5.0 Version. Do you have any latest version of opensees.exe application? I downloaded the source code's latest revision but it is showing some python and tcl86 errors. if you have the latest versions of working opensees source codes or simply opensees.exe fie, could you send me to "vijaypolimeru@gmail.com"

Thanks in advance

[joshwoods]

See this thread, there is a recent version of OpenSees 3.0, which I think should have this material model.

Let me know if it works: http://opensees.berkeley.edu/community/ ... =2&t=64140

Josh

[polimeruvijay]

Dear Joshwoods

Thank you very much, I Just downloaded the Opensees 3.0.0a version .exe file. I will soon let you know about the input file, status.

Could you please send any two dimensional model (such as shear walls, hollow columns etc...) example input file(ndm 2), if you have any.

Regards...
Vijay

[joshwoods]

Hi Vijay,

I am currently working on developing my first model using this element. I think it shouldn't be too hard to use.

Let me know if you run into any problems.

Josh

Can I model the Shear wall in the bay of frame with SFI element ?

Hi, polimeruvijay

I am also using the "nDMaterial FAReinforcedConcretePlaneStress" to simulate shear walls, but the material model doesn't seem to work very well, so I decided to use a new material model.
In this post, Dr. FMK suggested the " nDMaterial PlasticDamageConcretePlaneStress" and " nDMaterial PlaneStressLayeredMaterial” developed by Dr. Petrone, without providing details. I am very interested in these new material models. I wonder if you could provide me with some of Dr. Petrone's thesis or research papers to help me understand the formulation details?
I am looking forward to your reply! Thank you very much.

Best regards
Liguo
