This chapter, the last of the book, describes how to use the concepts of damage mechanics for the description of the behavior of tubular frame structures. In the first section of this chapter, the concept of damage of a plastic hinge is used to describe local buckling evolution. It also shows that the technique of the variation of the elastic stiffness, described in Chapter 10, can be utilized to measure the degree of local buckling in the metallic elements. This first section is restricted to the analysis of frames subjected to mono-sign loadings. The second one deals with the behavior of the structures under general loadings in the plane. It shows that in the case of cyclic loadings with reversal of sign a new phenomenon appears: “counter-buckling”; in metaphoric terms, counter-buckling can be described as “ironing the wrinkles.” In this section, this effect is characterized and modeled introducing the concept of “local buckling driving rotation.” Finally, in the third section of the chapter, the analysis of tridimensional frames is addressed.
