Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Modeling for Shakedown Analysis of Offshore StructuresMohammad Javad Fadaee, Hamed Saffari, Ramin TabatabaeiThe shakedown analysis process of an offshore structure having elastic-plastic material presented. The finite element model of the structure has been developed first, and then a simple method has been applied for shakedown analysis using matrix tool. Simplifying the relationships together with applying the theory concepts of shakedown analysis is one of the characteristics of the presented method for practical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation on the Behavior of Rigid Polyvinylchloride Pipes Subjected to Uniaxial Compression LoadsAbdullah Ali Nasser Alhamati, Abdul Halim Ghazali, Jamalodin Norzaie et al.The objective of this research was to investigate the capability of rigid Polyvinylchloride (PVC-U) pipes to sustain axial loads. The behavior of PVC-U pipes specimens subjected to short-term uniaxial compression loads was experimentally investigated. Results of the load-displacement tests on pipes of different wall thickness, diameter and specimen heights were recorded. The experimental test results show that the PVC-U pipes … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring Mesh Generation and Quality Enhancement with Open Source CodesLeandro Alves Neves, José Márcio Machado, Julio Cesar Momente et al.The finite element method is a very reliable and precise technique for solving partial differential equations in three-dimensional domains, with relevant applications in several areas. However, 3D simulations by FEM require computer programs for solid modeling and automatic mesh generation and there are few examples of open source codes available and dedicated to these tasks. Unfortunately, these open source codes … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 19 Jul 2018 · 8,365 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Analytical and Numerical Results for the Charring Rate of the Timber-Concrete BeamZuzana Kamenická, Jaroslav Sandanus, Lukáš Blesák et al.Modelling the thermal response of timber is a primary issue for the assessment of the mechanical resistance of timber structures exposed to fire. Therefore, this paper analyses various advanced calculation methods of determining the charring rate. Authors of this contribution use analytical calculation methods according to two different publications and also a numerical calculation by means of program based on … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 4 Jun 2018 · 6,690 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Shear Lag Factor in Long Structures with Pipeline System in Tubes under Wind LoadReza Salehi, Alireza KhalooThe type of lateral load capacity systems is one of the major challenges of structural engineers in implementing and designing high-rise structures. One type of common system is a pipe system in which the type of pipe in the classified pipe exhibits good behavior under wind and earthquake loading conditions. One of the issues that researchers have been studying over … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 22 May 2018 · 8,237 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Study of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened by FRP Bars Subjected to Impact Loading ConditionsSajjad Roudsari, Sameer Hamoush, Sayed Soleimani et al.Civil engineers have considered Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials to enhance the performance of structural members subjected to static and dynamic loading conditions. However, there are some design limitations due to uncertainty in the behavior of such strengthened members. This fact is particularly important when considering the complex nature of the nonlinear behavior of materials, the impact loading conditions and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 Apr 2018 · 9,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstruction Stage Analysis for a New Mixed Structure Building in MilanMarco Zucca, Nicola Longarini, Federico de Socio, Iacopo MiglioriIn this study the Construction Stage Analysis (CSA) of a new mixed structure building is discussed in order to identify the best timing and execution activities scheduling. The building is part of a new university campus that will be realized close to the center of the city. The CSA is carried out by the implementation of two models: the finite … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2018 · 9,132 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Stone Column Ground Improvement (Comparison between Axisymmetric and Plane Strain)Maryam Gaber, Anuar Kasa, Norinah Abdul-Rahman, Jamal AlsharefMost of the numerical studies on stone columns are based on the unit cell concept. However, the impact of interactions between adjacent columns and between the columns and the surrounding soil has not been investigated thoroughly. In this study, the finite element software, PLAXIS-2D-V8.2, was used to simulate a stone column as a unit cell and as a plane strain … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 16 Jan 2018 · 8,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Residual Axial Load Carrying Capacity of Reinforced Concrete (RC) Columns Subjected to Extreme Dynamic LoadsMasoud Abedini, Azrul A. Mutalib, Sudharshan N. Raman et al.The evaluation of residual axial load carrying capacity of Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns to explosion load is significant for protection of buildings. The few investigations conducted on residual axial load carrying capacity of RC columns when subjected to blast loads. Therefore, the overall aim of this research is to generate equations on the blast capacity of axially and uniaxial loaded … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 5 May 2017 · 8,105 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Optimization of a Porous Ti6Al4V Bone Construct Using Additive ManufacturingJeffrey Wilk, Glenn Sanders, Shelby Marks et al.Patient specific implants are becoming viable treatment options in some orthopaedic applications through advances in additive manufacturing and 3D printing techniques. One potential application is for treatment of segmental bone defects, particularly in patients suffering from bone cancer. Current treatment options are: Amputation, megaprosthesis, or allografts. These treatments are often highly invasive, may require a partial/full joint replacement and are … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2017 · 7,818 accessesView PDFCite
