Civil engineering applications of the Asymptotic Expansion Load Decomposition beam model: an overview

The Asymptotic Expansion Load Decomposition higher-order beam model is based on the classical two-scale asymptotic expansion in the linear elasticity framework.It was successively extended to eigenstrains and to plasticity in small deformations in different papers. The present paper offers a comprehensive and consistent presentation of our approach applied to civil engineering applications.

Automated summary

The paper presents a comprehensive and consistent introduction to the Asymptotic Expansion Load Decomposition higher-order beam model, which is based on the classical two-scale asymptotic expansion and has been successfully applied to eigenstrains and small deformations in civil engineering.
