Bolted Connection Strength and Bolt Hole Size

This study investigated the effects of oversized bolt holes on the properties of bolted connections with steel side members. The intent of the study was to determine (1) how well the European Yield Model (EYM) predicts experimental results for connections with oversized bolt holes and (2) how the loaddeformation behavior of connections is affected by oversized and/or misdrilled holes. Variables...

Performance evaluation of a semi-active cladding connection for multi-hazard mitigation

A novel semi-active damping device termed Variable Friction Cladding Connection (VFCC) has been previously proposed to leverage cladding systems for the mitigation of natural and man-made hazards. The VFCC is a semi-active friction damper that connects cladding elements to the structural system. The friction force is generated by sliding plates and varied using an actuator through a system of a...

Accurate adiabatic connection curve beyond the physical interaction strength

In order to better approximate and understand the exchange-correlation functional in density functional theory, the adiabatic connection curve is accurately calculated beyond the physical interaction strength using a simulated scaling method. This is done for Hooke’s atom, two interacting electrons in a harmonic well potential. Extrapolation of the accurate curve to the infinite-coupling limit ...
