Uncertainty in Loading and Control of an Active Column Critical to Buckling

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2012
Buckling of load-carrying column structures is an important design constraint in light-weight structures as it may result in the collapse of an entire structure.

Reliability and Risk Acceptance Criteria for Civil Engineering Structures

open access: yesTransactions of the VŠB: Technical University of Ostrava, Civil Engineering Series, 2016
The specification of risk and reliability acceptance criteria is a key issue of reliability verifications of new and existing structures. Current target reliability levels in standards appear to have considerable scatter.

Various Response Functions in Lattice Domes Reliability Via Analytical Integration and Finite Element Method

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2018
The main aim of this work is to verify an influence of the response function type in direct symbolic derivation of the probabilistic moments and coefficients of the structural state variables of axisymmetric spherical steel dome structures.

Experimental Characterisation of a Flat Dielectric Elastomer Loudspeaker

open access: yesActuators, 2018
Conventional loudspeakers are often heavy, require substantial design spaces and are hard to integrate into lightweight structures (e.g., panels). To overcome these drawbacks, this paper presents a novel extremely flat loudspeaker which uses dielectric ...

RELIABILITY-BASED DESIGN OF COASTAL STRUCTURES [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The objective of this paper is to introduce the application of reliability theory for conceptual design and evaluation of coastal structures. It is without the scope to discuss the validity and quality of the various design formulae available for coastal structures.

Abstract of: On Cavitation in Transparent Structural Silicone Adhesive: TSSA

open access: yesChallenging Glass Conference Proceedings, 2018
Cavitation in rubber-like materials describes sudden void growth of an initially voided material under hydrostatic tension until the material fails. To study the cavitation effect numerically, classical cavitation criteria are coupled with a continuum ...

Structural Reliability of Existing Structures – Case Study

open access: yes, 2014
reliability-based methodology for the assessment and evaluation of reinforced concrete (R/C) structural elements of concrete structures is presented herein. The results of the reliability analysis and assessment for R/C structural elements were verified by the results obtained through deterministic methods.
