Reliability of a Frictional System with Uncertainty
In recent years, more emphasis has been placed on the study of random vibration of structures with uncertain parameters. Most of these have dealt with second order statistics of the response...

Application of Normal Integration Formulas to Bridge Reliability Analysis
Structural reliability analysis often involves extensive integration of complex multivariable functions. Special techniques can be used to reduce this numerical effort. This paper deals...

A Simple Microcomputer Finite Strip Analysis
The development of a finite strip analysis of thin-walled section buckling behaviour is outlined. The analysis uses plate theory for out of plane deflection behaviour and beam theory for...

Recent Developments of the Finite Strip Method
The finite strip method is approaching a state of maturity as a structural analysis technique, as the well known finite element method has done. Two comprehensive (although somewhat dated)...

Optimum Cut-Outs on Plate Stability
Cut-outs are unavoidable in some of the plate components. To minimize the plate weight, in the meantime, to maintain the critical buckling load as high as possible is one of the major...

Stability of Cylindrical Shells With and Without Cutouts and Subjected to Wind Load
The cylindrical storage tanks with and without cutouts are analyzed using nonlinear finite element analysis. All the cylinders are fixed at the base. Two types of cylindrical tanks without...

Local Buckling and Cyclic Behavior of Tubular Members
The effect of the local buckling is included in the cyclic analysis of tubular members. The cyclic moment-curvature curves are obtained numerically. Three types of closed form expressions...

Time-Domain Dam-Reservoir-Interaction Analysis Based on Boundary Elements
For a reservoir with an arbitrary shape of the upstream face and of the bottom including an adjacent regular part of constant depth extending to infinity, the hydrodynamic-stiffness matrix...

Dynamic Simulation of Foundations on Winkler Subgrade
The objective of this paper is to present a dynamic simulation of foundations on Winkler subgrade. The analysis is based on a direct simulation procedure. The structures have been modeled...

Combined Finite Difference/Finite Element Analysis for Soil Structure Interaction
A method for the analysis of buried structures subjected to stress transients is presented. The method combines the finite difference and finite element techniques to provide the analyst...

Lateral Impedance of Contact Pile Foundations
The static and dynamic lateral impedance of pile foundations for which there is continuous contact between the bottom of the pilecap and the underlying soil is investigated. A parametric...

Dynamic Response of Massive Block to Transient Rayleigh Waves
The study explores the dynamic behavior of a rigid massive block placed on a homogeneous elastic half-space soil medium and subjected to transient Rayleigh waves. The treatment of the...

Drop Test of Dolos Armor Units
Dolosse are concrete armor units used for the cover layer on many breakwaters and jetties. In order to study their complex loads and structural response, a prototype study at Crescent...

Time Domain Structural Parameters Identification
Identification techniques for linear lumped-parameters models of vibrating structures are critically assessed using data produced by numerical simulations. The structural model is excited...

Stability and Limit Loads of Steel Space Trusses
An investigation of the behavior of cold-formed steel space truss structures, under the interaction of local, member, and overall buckling is described. A Finite Element computer program...

Buckling of Thin-Walled Members by p-Version of FEM
P-Version of the finite element method (FEM) is used for one-D and three-D modeling of thin-walled open sections and axial compressive load. Equal angle and channel sections are used for...

Behavior and Design of Semi-Rigid Composite Frames
Recent advances and experimental research on the behavior of composite semi-rigid frames indicates that substantial savings can be achieved with this method of construction. The current...

Frame Stability
The Chapter on Frame Stability of the Fourth Edition of the SSRC Guide provides guidance on use of several stability design procedures. These include Critical Load Concept, Second-Order...

Dynamic Fracture Toughness of Rail Steels
As new premium alloy rail steels exhibit increased wear resistance and as track lubrication is used, the failure mode for rails is shifting from wear to fatigue. Elastodynamic finite element...

Axial Fatigue Model for Wire Rope Strand
A numerical fatigue model for cables and rope strand subjected to fluctuating axial tension has been developed. This model determines the maximum wire nominal and Hertz contact stresses,...
