Efficient Simulation of Structural Failure of Large Scale Complex Structures by using Multibody Dynamics

摘要

This contribution involves an efficient multi-level simulation of complex dynamic behavior of structures applying multibody dynamics. In particular, an efficient approach to model the material behavior of reinforced concrete within the multibody system as well as a generalized six-directional multibody force element is presented. The calculated nonlinear forces elements applied in the multibody system can realistically and efficiently represent the failure of reinforced concrete parts.
