Explicit finite-element analysis for the in-plane cyclic behavior of unreinforced masonry structures.

A simple constitutive model is proposed for an in-plane numerical analysis of unreinforced masonry structures, which are subject to cyclic loading, by using explicit dynamic procedures. The proposed model is implemented by using two-dimensional plane-stress finite elements. Three different constitut...
