Abstract
In complex bending problems involving material and geometric non-linearity, quite often moment-curvature based approach is preferred over stress-strain based methods. For such an approach, available uniaxial stress-strain test data or models are required to be converted into moment-curvature relationship. The process of con-version of uniaxial stress-strain relationship into a moment-curvature relationship is non-unique. And hence, complete moment-curvature law can be modelled suiting any of the several hardening laws. Such modelling will be very important when abeam is under cyclic load producing reverse plastic deformation. In this paper, an approach is presented to obtain a unique moment-curvature relationship from any given stress-strain law. Standard elasto-plastic models viz.elastic-perfectly plastic, isotropic and kinematic hardening are considered to produce corresponding unique moment-curvature relationships. The results indicate that an isotropic curvature hardening model, corresponding to an elastic perfectly plastic stress-strain model, would be erroneous. Additionally, step by step procedure of using the approach in solving a large deflection elasto-plastic beam problem, is demonstrated here.

Notes
The developed method is stated to be explicit as; i. an explicit relation is developed between the applied force and the end-displacement which is generally absent in analytical or closed-form solutions obtained from elliptic integral method-based approaches, ii. the developed governing differential equation is linearized and solved using the Runge-Kutta 4th order initial value explicit solver with no iterations involved.
The details of the elastica parameter can be found in [34].

Appendix I. Derivation of moment-curvature relationship for a circular cross-section following elastic-perfectly plastic law
In figure 8, the cross-section of area A is assumed to be elastic in the range \(-a\le Y \le a\) and elasto-plastic outside this range. The total moment M is given by:
The above equation corresponding to a circular cross-section reads:
Using \(\sigma =E\epsilon\) and \(\epsilon =\kappa Y\) at \(Y=a\), a is determined to be:
To perform the integration of Eq. A2, it is divided into elasic and elasto-plastic regions as given by:
Using the following substitution: \(Y=\frac{h}{2}\sin {\theta }\), Eq.A3 and pertinent normalization, the above equation simplifies into Eq. 15.
