Bending Analysis of Composite Sandwich Plates with Laminated Face Sheets: New Finite Element Formulation

The bending behavior of composites sandwich plates with multi-layered laminated face sheets has been investigated, using a new four-nodded rectangular finite element formulation based on a layer-wise theory. Both, first order and higher-order shear deformation; theories are used in order to model the face sheets and the core, respectively. Unlike any other layer-wise theory, the number of degre...

Finite Element Method for Static Cyclic Behavior of Steel Shear Wall with Corrugated Plates

The system of steel shear wall is an initiative resistance system against the lateral load such as an earthquake and the wind that has been researched in the last three decades. Currently, this system is noticed more than other systems because of adequate stiffness, ductility, and more energy absorption. The system of steel shear wall with corrugated sheets has been offered as an innovative sys...

Shape sensitivity analysis of stress intensity factors by the scaled boundary finite element method

The scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) is extended for shape sensitivity analysis of stress intensity factors (SIFs) with respect to the crack geometry. The procedure combines the finite element formulations with the boundary discretization. The original equations of the SBFEM are reformulated as functions of the so-called scaling centre, synonymous to the crack tip. The variation in...
