/PROP/TYPE18 (INT_BEAM)
Block Format Keyword Describes the integrated beam property set. This beam model is based on Timoshenko theory and takes into account transverse shear strain without warping in torsion.
It can be used for deep beam cases (short beams). Beam section and position of integration points can be either used as predefined or prescribed directly.

Comments
- Small strain formulation is activated from time t=0, if Ismstr =1. It may be used for a faster preliminary analysis because is constant, but the accuracy of results is not ensured.
- If Ismstr =1, the strains and stresses which are given in material laws are engineering strains and stresses. Time history output returns true strains and stresses.
- The cross-section of the element is
defined using up to 100 integration points (Figure 2). The element properties of the cross-section,
i.e. area moments of inertia and area, are computed by Radioss as:
(1) (2) (3) - It can be used for deep beam cases (short beams). The use of several integration points in the section allows to get an elasto-plastic model in which von Mises criteria is written on each integration point and the section can be partially plastified contrary to the classical beam element (TYPE3). Compatible with material LAW1, LAW2, and LAW36. However, as the element has only one integration point in its length, it is not recommended to use a single beam element per line of frame structure in order to take into account the plasticity progress in length, as well as in depth.
- For rectangular section: L1 is the rectangular size in Y-direction of the local beam coordinates system and L2 is the rectangular size in Z-direction. For circular section: L1 is the radius.
- Predefined cross-sections are
available (circular or rectangular). Number of integration points in the section
is prescribed via NITR depending on
Isect and the chosen
quadrature:
- For Isect = 1 and 2. Integration points are distributed uniformly across the section according to the section type and NITR.
- For Isect = 3. The section is rectangular, the distribution of the integration points corresponds to the Gauss-Lobatto quadrature with points on the edge. IP = NITR*NITR. The maximum NITR possible is 9 corresponding to 81 integration points.
- For Isect = 4. The section is circular. The distribution of the integration points radially corresponds to Gauss-Lobatto quadrature with points on edge. Three options: NITR = 1, NITR = 17 and NITR = 25. Here the number of integration points is equal to NITR.
- For Isect = 5. The section is circular. Three options: NITR = 1, NITR = 9 and NITR = 17. Here the number of integration points is equal to NITR.
