I have seen this term "mesh dependency" in some FEM books (e.g. Zenienkiewicz) but find it very hard to get the idea. I would appreciate for any help.

First of all, many thanks to Denial and Heitor
Can EI be set up for linear inelastic case(?): assuming that moment and curvature can be found from a given stress-strain curve with a linear degradation of tensile stress?
Heitor: I am not doing experiment for this

Hi all,
I am trying to find the fexlural rigidity of a bending beam under a load increasing step-by-step till the beam fails. Assuming material is non-linearity, can I use this formula:
Flexural rigidity (EI) = Bending moment (M)/Curvature
to calculate EI for non-linear material?
Could anyone...
