Plane Stress Material in Navigator
Dear fmk,
I am trying to model a 2d timber shear wall using 4NodeQuad elements in Opensees Navigator. I am going to use Plane Stress Material however, Navigator says that I need to define at least one 3d nDMaterial before defining a Plane Stress Material. Are not other type nDMaterials such as ElasticCrossAnisotropic3D or PressureDependMultiYield for soil modelling? Or how I could use 4NodeQuad elements for modelling a shear wall?
Thanks in advance,
Cgty

Dear cgtymdrc,
May I ask how do you build the timber shear wall, specifically what material and element do you use ? Thank you very much
Best regards

Hi,
You can use quad elements for timber walls, two node link and zero length elements for connections. There are many publications, I just followed what they have done.
Thnks,

Dear cgtwdmrc,
May you provide the name of some of the publications that you mentioned about the modeling.
Thanks!

Hi David,
You can find publications of Massimo Fragiacomo, Igor Gavric, and their co-authors online.
Let me know if you cannot, I might send you some of them.
Cheers,

Hi Cagatay,
Thanks for your answer. I've been reading part of the material of Drs. Fragiacomo and Gavric but they are very productive. If you could share some of the publications you mentioned (or its title, so that I can look for them) I would be really thankful. My email is dgugalde@uc.cl
