Simulation steel beam damage under cyclic loading in Abaqus standard

In this tutorial Simulation steel beam damage under cyclic loading in Abaqus standard has been investigated.Under cyclic loading conditions such as those introduced by earthquake  ground motions, the local buckling is initiated in the compression flange.  However, it disappears and reappears in subsequent cycles.

The beam is modeled as three dimensional shell part. the linearElastic, isotropic plasticy material model with damage parameter to investigate damage distribution has been used. General static step is appropriate for this type of analysis. The cycle load is assigned as protocol to the tip of beam. The mesh quality can increase the accuracy of this simulation.During the simulation stress,strain and damage appeared on the beam .You can see some figures of this simulation at below
