Ductility and Strength Reduction Factors for Degrading Structures Considering Cumulative Damage
The effect of cumulative damage on the strength requirements of degrading structures is assessed through the evaluation of the target ductility and corresponding strength reduction factors of simple degrading structures. While the reduction on ductility is established through the use of Park and Ang index, the suggestions given by Bojórquez and Rivera are used to model the degradation of the st...
متن کاملSeismic Ductility Reduction of Flexural-type Structures with Vertical Irregularities
Seismic ductility reduction factors for flexural-type structures with vertical irregularities subjected to pulse-like and nonpulse-like ground motions are investigated in this paper. By establishing various multi-node flexural cantilever-column models, the ductility reduction factor of vertically irregular structures is studied by modifying the ductility reduction factor of irregular structures...
متن کاملAre nanotwinned structures in fcc metals optimal for strength, ductility and grain stability?
The optimality of nanotwinned structures in imparting maximum strength and stability has been investigated by performing atomistic simulations of dislocation interactions with various types of grain boundaries. By developing an understanding of the mechanism of the instability, we predict that nanocrystalline metals with grain sizes below 50 ± 10 nm or 70 ± 10 nm (in Cu) are inherently unstable...
متن کاملASSESSMENT OF DUCTILITY REDUCTION FACTOR FOR OPTIMUM SEISMIC DESIGNED STEEL MOMENT-RESISTING FRAMES
In the present study, ten steel-moment resisting frames (SMRFs) having different numbers of stories ranging from 3 to 20 stories and fundamental periods of vibration ranging from 0.3 to 3.0 second were optimized subjected to a set of earthquake ground motions using the concept of uniform damage distribution along the height of the structures. Based on the step-by-step optimization algorithm dev...
متن کاملA damage-softening statistical constitutive model considering rock residual strength
Under stress, the microcracks in rock evolve (initiation, growth and coalescence) from damage to fracture with a continuous process. In order to describe this continuous process, a damage-softening statistical constitutive model for rock was proposed based on the Weibull distribution of mesoscopic element strength. This model usually adopts the Drucker–Prager criterion as its distribution param...
