BSS2
BSS2, VAL1, VAL2, T
Specifies the transverse shear strain and force relationship in
plane XY for beam sections.
-
VAL1 Transverse shear strain component (
).-
VAL2 Transverse shear force component (
).-
T Temperature.
Notes
The behavior of beam elements is governed by the generalized-stress/generalized-strain relationship of the form:
The BSS1 command, one of several nonlinear general beam section commands, specifies the transverse shear strain and transverse shear force relationship for plane XY of a beam section. The section data defined is associated with the section most recently defined (via the SECTYPE command).
Unspecified values default to zero, with the exception of temperature. If the temperature is unspecified, the values become temperature-independent.
Related commands are BSAX, BSM1, BSM2, BSTQ, BSS1, BSMD, and BSTE.
