Plastic Analysis

Plastic Analysis is a method of structural analysis that determines the ultimate load-carrying capacity of structures by examining the behavior of materials beyond their elastic limit, specifically when plastic hinges form and a mechanism develops, distinguishing it from elastic analysis methods that assume linear stress-strain relationships.
