I have a model with Steel Plate and Steel Columns involving Composite Frame Structure.
I'm going to simulate hysteresis curve for the system(with Abaqus software) to compare it with the experimental result.
I used the "Combined Hardening" method(Isotropic/Kinematic) for steel materials.
Some questions must be fixed for me :
1) can I approximately obtain 𝑄∞ (one of the isotropic parameters in the Armstrong-Frederick equation) from Fu-Fy which is reported in experimental report according to uniaxial test?
2)does any complete and reliable experimental data exist for the kinematic parameter (Ck and γk) for A36 and ASTM A572/50 steel material?
