MEF; Conexiones; PRISMA.Resumen
Esta revisión sistemática examina metodologías para modelar conexiones entre elementos estructurales mediante el Método de los Elementos Finitos (MEF) en el ámbito de la ingeniería estructural. El objetivo fue mapear y sintetizar métodos de modelado, evaluando sus ventajas, limitaciones y eficiencia computacional. La revisión siguió el protocolo PRISMA 2020, con registro osf.io/ny95g, y realizó búsquedas en las bases de datos Web of Science, Scopus y Google Scholar de estudios publicados entre 1991 y diciembre de 2025. Los artículos elegibles presentaron metodologías para modelar la conexión entre elementos estructurales utilizando el MEF en diversos sistemas constructivos. La calidad de los artículos se evaluó mediante la herramienta adaptada Quality Assessment Tool for Studies with Diverse Designs (QATSDD) de 12 ítems, y los resultados se sintetizaron de forma narrativa debido a la heterogeneidad metodológica. De los 14.179 artículos identificados, se analizaron 58, que abarcan sistemas constructivos en acero, concreto, mampostería y madera. La síntesis indica que alternativas al MEF convencional—incluido el MEF no lineal 3D, el modelado sustituto (surrogate modeling) y las técnicas de homogeneización—pueden abordar eficazmente las limitaciones de las conexiones, como el mal condicionamiento de matrices y el alto costo computacional, al tiempo que mejoran la precisión en la modelización de comportamientos complejos, como grandes deformaciones y fallo progresivo. Las principales limitaciones incluyen la heterogeneidad metodológica y el enfoque en tipos estructurales específicos.
