HingeEndpoint

beamIntegration('HingeEndpoint', tag, secI, lpI, secJ, lpJ, secE)

Create a HingeEndpoint beamIntegration object. Endpoint integration over each hinge region moves the integration points to the element ends; however, there is a large integration error for linear curvature distributions along the element.

tag |int|

tag of the beam integration.

secI |int|

A previous-defined section object for hinge at I.

lpI float

The plastic hinge length at I.

secJ |int|

A previous-defined section object for hinge at J.

lpJ float

The plastic hinge length at J.

secE |int|

A previous-defined section object for the element interior.
