Location of Plastic Hinges in Axially Loaded Steel Members [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
New Zealand and Australian steel structure design standards contain equations to encourage yielding at the ends of steel members rather than along their lengths. This paper evaluates the accuracy of these equations using a commercially available computer

Global numerical analysis of elasto-plastic frames 1

open access: yesComputer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2023
We discuss a global, iteration-free numerical scheme (based on the Piecewise Linear algorithm), with special respect to the computation of elasto-plastic frames.

On Prediction of 3d Stress State in Elastic Shell by Higher-order Shell Formulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this work we study the accuracy of modem higher-order shell finite element formulations in computation of 3d stress state in elastic shells. In that sense we compare three higher-order shell models: (i) with seven dislacement-like kinematic parameters,

Structural behaviour of masonry arch with no-horizontal springing settlement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper presents a calculation procedure for assessing the structural integrity of a masonry arch with non-horizontal springing settlement. By applying the Principle of Virtual Work (PVW) to the deformed arch system, the procedure proposed herein ...

Beam-to-Column Connections with Demountable Energy Dissipative Plates

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2018
The behavior of steel structures subjected to seismic actions depends directly on the connections behavior. There are two current tendencies for ensuring the structural ductility: allowing the formation of plastic hinges in the beams by using reduced ...

Seismic Performance of a Corroded Reinforce Concrete Frame Structure Using Pushover Method

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2018
SAP2000 software was used to build the finite element model of a six-storey-three-span reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure. The numerical simulation of the seismic performance of the RC frame structure incorporating different levels of rebar ...

A finite element modelling methodology for the non-linear stiffness evaluation of adhesively bonded single lap-joints. Part 2, Novel shell mesh to minimise analysis time [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A new modelling methodology is presented that enables the stiffness of adhesively bonded single lap-joints to be included in the finite element analysis of whole vehicle bodies. This work was driven by the need to significantly reduce computing resources

Research on the Seismic Performance of Straw Panel-Infilled Concrete Frame by Shaking Table Test

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2021
Infill wall-frame interaction-induced damage and failure have been found in many previous earthquakes due to the inappropriate estimation of the stiffness of infill walls.

Investigating the pattern of plastic hinge formation in steel moment frames under near-field and far-field earthquakes

open access: yesDiscover Civil Engineering
Structural health monitoring is an important issue that should be considered for the structures. In this regard, the main goal of the current research is to investigate the formation pattern of plastic hinges in steel moment frames due to near-field and ...

Solids composed of thin plates [PDF]

open access: yesКомпьютерные исследования и моделирование, 2014
The paper demonstrates a fractal system of thin plates connected with hinges. The system can be studied using the methods of mechanics of solids with internal degrees of freedom. The structure is deployable - initially it is close to a small diameter one-
