Registrations are now closed.


Thank you for your interest in the STKO webinar. Registration is no longer available for this session. Please check back soon for upcoming webinars and events.

Topics Covered

  • The origin of the pathology: strain localization and loss of ellipticity in a local continuum

  • An overview of regularization methods and their implementation cost

  • The fracture-energy (crack-band) approach as implemented in OpenSees with ASDConcrete

  • A mesh-refinement study 

  • Managing offsets between idealized components

  • Preventing numerical instability in complex models

  • Explicit and verifiable interaction tools in STKO

UPCOMING LIVE WEBINAR

Refine your Mesh

Strain-softening materials, such as concrete, make a standard finite element model mesh-dependent: as the mesh is refined, the localization band narrows, the dissipated energy decreases, and the computed response does not converge. This webinar reviews the problem and the techniques used to recover mesh-objective results.
