nonlinear static procedure (nsp) is a common technique to predict seismic demands on various building structures by subjecting a monotonically increasing horizontal loading (pushover) to the structure. therefore, the pushover analysis is an important part of each nsp. accordingly, the current paper aims at investigating the efficiencyof various algorithms of lateral load patterns applied to the...

Slug flow through piping systems may cause severe mechanical vibrations. Finite element models, commonly used to predict dynamic pipe stresses and fatigue, require the slug excitation force as boundary condition. In this paper, a stochastic mechanistic model of acting on bend is proposed. The induced by continuous hydrodynamic two-phase modelled momentum balance over using quantities liquid hol...
