Stability Analysis of Stiffened Plates and Shells
A stability analysis of stiffened plates and shells by using degenerated finite elements is presented. The studies are based on a thin shell theory, large deflections, but on an elastic...

Efficient Nonlinear Analysis of Column-Supported Cylinderical Shells
This paper presents a finite element methodology for the study of geometrically nonlinear behavior of column-supported cylinder. Due to the discrete nature of the column supports, the...

Elasto-Plastic Buckling Design for Shallow Cylindrical Shells under External Pressure
Pressures providing elastic-plastic buckling conditions for thin shallow cylindrical shell panels are presented. Classical simple support boundary conditions have been adopted for the...

The Body Language of Tensile Structures
Considered to be a 'body' and its visual appearance as 'non verbal, intuitable information,' a building has a Body Language that is employed as a primary mode. Presented is an intuitive...

The Nature of Structural Morphology and Some Interdisciplinary Examples
Among members of IASS, the most common definition of Structural Morphology is the study of interaction between geometrical form and structural behavior. The most significant structural...

Hyper-Geodesic Structures: Excerpts from a Visual Catalog
A class of hyper-geodesic surface structures is presented. The surfaces of known polygons, polyhedra, plane and space tessellations, higher dimensional polytopes can be subdivided into...

Multimedia Implications to Structural Engineering
The usage of computer technologies have revolutionized the practice of structural engineering during the past thirty years. The advent of multimedia technologies within computer hardware...

General Structure Representation for Neural Networks
Current applications of neural networks for structural analysis are limited to specific structures. In order to expand the use of neural networks to general structural types, the input...

Performance and Analysis of Frames With URM Infills
The interaction of unreinforced hollow concrete block masonry (URM) infill walls and gravity load designed (GLD) frames has been studied at Cornell University. The primary goal of this...

Behaviour of Concrete Masonry Infill - Steel Frame Structures
Twenty-eight masonry shear panels infilled in steel frames were tested to ultimate strength under in-plane, horizontal loading applied at roof level. The parameters investigated in this...

Damage Tolerance Analysis in Structural Rehabilitation
The rehabilitation of existing structures requires an evaluation by the structural engineer of past performance to determine the extent of existing damage. Following evaluation of the...

Optimization for Earthquake Loads
Structural optimization for seismic loads can be approached from a deterministic or nondeterministic point of view. Deterministically, the major difference between optimization of statically...

Structural Analysis for Structural Design
This paper presents a simple extension to conventional structural analysis that serves to provide additional information that is of significant use to the structural design process. Specifically,...

Distributed Flexibility Models for Nonlinear Analysis of RC Structures
The application of distributed flexibility member models in inelastic analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) structural systems is examined. While the utilization of flexibility-based formulations...

RC Beam-Column Element for Nonlinear Frame Analysis
Recent studies have shown that beam-column finite elements that enforce equilibrium rather than compatibility along the element are better suited for the description of the strength and...

Applicability of Pseudo-force method to Highly Nonlinear Dynamic Problems
This paper deals with solution of nonlinear dynamic problems using Pseudo-force method. A solution algorithm involving Pseudo-force method is presented. The objective is to investigate...

Nonlinear Earthquake Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dams Including Sliding
The sliding stability of a concrete gravity dam during a design earthquake must be investigated to assess the seismic safety of the dam. A new numerical procedure for solving the equations...

Large-Scale Computations in Analysis of Structures
Computer hardware and numerical analysis algorithms have progressed to a point where many engineering organizations and universities can perform nonlinear analyses on a routine basis....

Timing Analysis of a Multiprocessor Architecture for Active Control
This paper describes how real-time multiprocessor systems, such as those required for active structural control, can be developed to satisfy timing requirements on hardware and software....

Flange Local Buckling and Behavior of I-Sections
A simple kinematic model is proposed to determine the locally buckled shape of the compressive flange plate of I-sections subjected to pure bending or bending combined with axial thrust....
