This paper is concerned with the convergence analysis of PH heterogeneous asynchronous time integrators algorithm, proposed by Prakash and Hjelmstad [ Int. J. Numer. Methods Eng. 61 (2004) 2183–2204], devoted to transient dynamic problems for structural analysis. According method, discretization performed using well-known Newmark schemes, where step ratio, i.e. , ratio macro micro step, two sub...

Displacement-based methods are recognized as appropriate approaches to reach the goals of performance-based seismic design method. In the direct displacement-based seismic design method, the seismic yield displacement is applied as one of the important design parameters. In this paper, a new relation is suggested to determine the lateral displacement pattern at first yielding of eccentrically b...

the scope of this research is to investigate the effect of geometrical and physical input parameters in crustal viscoelastic deformation models. to do this analysis viscoelastic model of wang et al., 2006 is used. the increasing quality of data on time-dependent deformation of the earth's surface can be used to extract more details on the spatial and temporal development of earthquake-rela...

Among compliant platforms, the tension leg platform (TLP) is a hybrid structure. With respect to the horizontal degrees of freedom, it is compliant and behaves like to a floating structure, whereas with respect to the vertical degrees of freedom, it is stiff and resembles a fixed structure and is not allowed to float freely. The greatest potential for reducing costs of a TLP in the short term i...
