Finite Element Analysis of Elliptical Hollow and Concrete Filled Tube Columns

Concrete filled tube (CFT) columns have been used as primary axial load-carrying members in high-rise building especially in seismic zones. The structural member has become popular as it has a number of distinct advantages over an equivalent steel, reinforced concrete, or steel-reinforce concrete structural member. This paper is intended to presents numerical modeling of elliptical concrete-fil...

A Study on Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Plates

In this study, Finite Elements Method was used for the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete plates under gradually loading conditions beginning from zero load to failure load. Layered Composite Material Model was used for the modeling of reinforced concrete plates. The principles of this approach is given in “layered composites mechanics” that it was successfully applied for the nonlinear ...

Speeding up the Stress Analysis of Hollow Circular FGM Cylinders by Parallel Finite Element Method

In this article, a parallel computer program is implemented, based on Finite Element Method, to speed up the analysis of hollow circular cylinders, made from Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs). FGMs are inhomogeneous materials, which their composition gradually varies over volume. In parallel processing, an algorithm is first divided to independent tasks, which may use individual or shared da...
