Dear all members,
I am trying to find a theoretical backrgound, numerical issues that could describe the tension force effect on the wave velocity on prestressed concrete tendons, there some experimental topics but i can not find any finite element model that could give a valid approch of this non-linear behavior. Actually working with the general purpose package Abaqus software to model the effect of tension level effect on the longitudinal vibration.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Kind regards
