- Additional information
- In this work, a novel theoretical model is proposed for nonlinear analysis of plates that accounts for the effect of the degradation of material properties at elevated temperatures, a key component in plate analysis that had previously been largely ignored in most nonlinear formulations. The model considered thermal gradients in plate structures that represent a wide range of fire exposures, providing detailed investigations on the nonlinear response of plate structures to more realistic thermomechanical loads such as fully non-uniform heating regimes.
