Simulation honey comb steel beam under cyclic load to extract hysteresis diagram in Abaqus

In this tutorial Simulation honey comb steel beam under cyclic load to extract hysteresis diagram in Abaqushas been studied.Honey Comb Castellated Beam has a deeper part than Comparable Solid Beam, which has greater resistance to deflection. Therefore, the product is most often used in Long Span applications with light and medium loads, especially for the roof. Because the weight of the steel does not change, the structural efficiency of the bending section increases. The further advantage of the Castellated Beam is the hole in the network that has a path to serve inside.Accurate modeling of stiffness, strength and ductility of these connections is important, especially when one considers dynamic or seismic loading

In this tutorial beam is modeled as three dimensional shell part . The key point in this simulation is the material model which has used. Abaqus recommend kinematic and combined plasticity and they are appropriate for cyclic loading and extracting hysteresis diagram. General static step with some modification has been used. During the simulation the stress distribution is obvious with critical area. The hysteresis diagram can be draw for boundary nodes .You can see some figures of this simulation at below
