ElasticSection

The elastic section implements the simple linear elastic relations

\[f = EA \, \varepsilon \qquad \qquad M = EI \, \phi\]

where

\(f\)

resulting axial force (output)

\(M\)

resulting moment (output)

\(\varepsilon\)

axial strain (input)

\(\phi\)

curvature change (input)

\(EA\)

axial stiffness; constant (input parameters E and A)

\(EI\)

flexural stiffness; constant (input parameters E and I)
