This chapter briefly discusses the statics of the Colossus....
Transmission Line Insulator Assembly Reliability
Transmission line insulator assemblies made up of ceramic or composite insulators and associated hardware are used to mechanically support and electrically isolate energized conductors...
Analysis of the Non-Planar Response of a Cantilever, with the Aid of Computerized Symbolic Manipulation
The nonlinear differential equations governing the static deformations of a cantilever with a tip mass are formulated and analyzed with the aid of computerized symbolic manipulation. The...
Neural Network Approaches in Structural Mechanics Computations
The neural computing paradigm has not been extensively researched in terms of its applicability to a wide variety of structural engineering problems. At an intellectual level this research...
A Study of the Precision of Optimum Design Using Suboptimization
As the scale of structures becomes larger and their configuration become more complicated, the design variables and constraint conditions increase, and numerical calculation of the optimum...
Two-Level Optimization of Nonlinear Structures
This paper presents several optimization design problems and their applications to both cable structures and geometrically nonlinear braced-rib arches. The sum of squares of residuals...
Experience with the p-Version Program PROBE
The conventional approach in the FEM is known as the h-version, in which the solution accuracy depends on the size h of elements. The alternative approach is the p-version, in which the...
Application of BEM to Two-Dimensional EPFM
This paper describes the authors' current and continuing research in application of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) to crack growth problems in Elastoplastic Fracture Mechanics...
Behavior of a Crack Under Reversed Cyclic Loading
The results of two series of basic experimental studies for opening and closing behavior in RC members are reported. For the first series, axial forces were applied to the specimens in...
Containment Model ? Test Program and Results
Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) completed the testing of a 1:6-scale containment building for a Light Water Reactor (LWR) in July 1987. The containment building was made of reinforced...
Development of a Test Validated Methodology for Predicting Concrete Containment Leakage
In the past several years, considerable research effort has been devoted by the Electric Power Research Institute and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to the behavior of reactor...
Fourier Series Expansion on Determination of Response Bound of Beam
