Study of Inelastic Behavior of Reticular Structures of Steel Bars - Phenomena of Plastification

Technological advancement has increasingly helped solve engineering problems, but the designer who does not seek knowledge of the physical behavior of materials and mathematical techniques to solve them runs the risk of not being able to interpret the results provided by structural software. Computational techniques do not provide the exact solution of engineering problems, they provide approximations to the intervals where the solution of the differential equations governing the mechanics of the continuum are inserted. The engineer who does not know how to idealize the engineering problem in his mind will not be able to model the problem in the computer. One of the most intriguing and peculiar engineering problems is the plastification phenomenon of metallic objects.
