FiberSection

Warning

This material is not yet available

The fiber section model implements a complex cross section built from multiple FiberMaterial material class instances

\[\varepsilon(z) = \varepsilon_0 - z \,\phi\]
\[f = \int_A \sigma(z)\, dA \qquad \qquad M = -\int_A z\sigma(z)\, dA\]
\[df = \int_A \mathcal{C}(z)\, dA \, d\varepsilon_0 -\int_A z\mathcal{C}(z)\, dA \, d\phi =: \mathbb{D} \, d\varepsilon_0 +\mathbb{C} d\phi\]
\[dM = -\int_A z\mathcal{C}(z)\, dA \, d\varepsilon_0 +\int_A z^2\mathcal{C}(z)\, dA \, d\phi =: \mathbb{C} \, d\varepsilon_0 + \mathbb{B} \, d\phi\]
