Shear stiffness as a function of axial force
Hi,
I would like to model the shear stiffness of a column element as a function of the axial load in the column. I think I would basically need a spring element which stiffness could be written as a function of the load in a different direction than the spring element acts; I could not find a way of modelling it. I was just wondering whether anyone has an idea if such a thing can be modelled.
Thanks for any help!
