Abstract
Structural elements, in many situations, are supported by other surfaces, such as soil, which may offer movement constraints in some directions. Therefore, the static and dynamic analysis of these elements considering their interaction with the soil becomes important in the design [...]
Abstract
The analysis of structures in the frequency domain has been gaining ground in the last decades, first, because of the computational development and strategies to evaluate the Discrete Fourier Transform more efficiently. The advantages of evaluating the frequency response are that [...]
Abstract
The paper presents a new triangle for analysis of laminate plates and shells. The in-plane degrees of freedom are interpolated quadratically whereas a linear layer-wise approximation is chosen for the normal displacement. A substructuring technique is used to eliminate the in-plane [...]
Abstract
The behavior and response of pipelines subjected to slip fault movement is studied by numerical simulations as well as experimental setup. A finite element modeling is also developed via ABAQUS software. In this study, an artificial accelerogram is applied to the system and matched [...]Abstract
Quantitative assessment of impact forces by submarine landslide is significant for the safe operation of pipelines that must cross potential runout paths. In this paper, the transient process of a submarine landslide impacting a pipeline is modelled using the material point method [...]Abstract
This paper presents an extension of the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition method (POD) to nonlinear dynamic analysis of reinforced concrete multistory frame structure where the material nonlinearity is modeled by the multi-fiber section. To test the effectiveness of this approach, [...]
