Gross plastic deformation of axisymmetric pressure vessel heads [PDF]
, 2006 The gross plastic deformation and associated plastic loads of four axisymmetric torispherical pressure vessels are determined by two criteria of plastic collapse: the ASME twice elastic slope (TES) criterion and the recently proposed plastic work ...

Deterioration modeling of steel moment resisting frames using finite-length plastic hinge force-based beam-column elements [PDF]
, 2014 The use of empirically calibrated moment-rotation models that account for strength and stiffness deterioration of steel frame members is paramount in evaluating the performance of steel structures prone to collapse under seismic loading.

Comparison of wind turbine tower failure modes under seismic and wind loads [PDF]
, 2019 This paper studies the structural responses and failure modes of a 1.5-MW horizontal-axis wind turbine under strong ground motions and wind loading. Ground motions were selected and scaled to match the two design response spectra given by the seismic ...

Seismic analysis of pile in liquefiable soil and plastic hinge [PDF]
Geotechnical Research, 2017 Liquefaction is one of the leading seismic actions that cause extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure during earthquakes. In many historic cases, plastic hinge formations in piles were observed at inexplicable locations. This project investigated the behaviour of piled foundations within soils susceptible to liquefaction by using numerical ...

Plastic hinge locations in steel columns
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2010 Some standards for the design of steel structures attempt to encourage column yielding at the member ends, rather than along the column length during inelastic action such as may occur during strong earthquake shaking. In this paper, effects of residual stress and stability are considered separately and then combined to obtain equations that are more ...
