ABSTRACT Geometrically nonlinear static analysis of materially imperfect composite doubly curved shells is investigated via the generalised differential quadrature method. The effects of both shear and thickness deformation are considered through a thickness‐ and shear‐deformable third‐order theory formulated in curvilinear coordinates, while the ...

Modeling Of Active Bending By The Method Newton-Raphson And The Modified Newton-Raphson
The paper deals with the modelling and analysis of a single layer timber gridshell produced by active bending. Two geometrically nonlinear calculation methods, the Newton-Raphson method and the Modified Newton-Raphson method, are compared for the ...

A process for solving an algebraic equation was presented by Newton in 1669 and later by Raphson in 1690. This technique is called Newton’s method or Newton–Raphson method and is even today a popular technique for solving nonlinear equations in abstract ...

Nonlinear analysis of flat post‐tensioned concrete slab–edge column connections
Abstract This study presents nonlinear finite element analyses to investigate the punching shear behavior of unbonded post‐tensioned concrete flat slabs at slab‐edge column connections. A parametric analysis was conducted to evaluate the influence of four critical parameters on the punching shear resistance: the distribution of prestressing tendons ...

Abstract The reinforcement corrosion is one of the main degradation mechanisms in reinforced concrete structures. Its effects can harm structural elements by reducing mechanical capacity, mainly due to diminished reinforcement properties and expansive reactions within the concrete.

In the real world, we are faced with many problems that cannot be easily described by crisp values, as there is always some uncertainty involved in real-life situations and in those situations, we end up receiving fuzzy values rather than crisp ones in ...
