Dynamic Stiffness Matrix of a Timoshenko-Ehrenfest beam element with multiple cracked sections: code implementation
Description
The files concern the MatLab implementation of the Dynamic Stiffness Matrix of a Timoshenko beam element with multiple cracked sections described in the paper "Exact closed-form Dynamic Stiffness Matrix of damaged frames comprising Timoshenko-Ehrenfest beams", by F. Cannizzaro, I. Fiore, S. Caddemi, I Caliò, Journal of Vibration and Control (2024) DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/10775463241233055. The instructions for the use of the MatLab code are provided inside the files "BeamElementData.m" and “FrameData.m". In particular, the files are subdivided as follows: - one example file "BeamElementData.m" for data definition for the construction of the DSM of a Timoskenko beam element with multiple weakened sections; - one example file "FrameData.m" for data definition for the construction of the DSM of a Timoskenko frame with multiple weakened sections (one of the applications of the paper); - one folder "private" containing the subroutines for the construction of the DSM according to the paper formulas.
