Geometric and material nonlinear behavior of slender webs in I-column girders having stocky flanges under the action of combined lateral and axial loads is investigated. Interaction curves corresponding to the application of compressive and shear loads at buckling and ultimate stages for both web plates and column sections are plotted. In addition, the effects of flange and web slenderness rati...

in this research, softening and ratcheting behaviors of ck20 alloy steel cylindrical shells were studied under displacement-control and force-control cyclic axial loading and the behavior of hysteresis curves of specimens was also investigated. experimental tests were performed by a servo-hydraulic instron 8802 machine. the mechanical properties of specimens were determined according to astm e8...

A series of cyclic tension-torsion tests under symmetric shear strain and asymmetric axial stress control in various loading paths are conducted on 100 μm-diameter 316L steel wires applying a micro tensiontorsion fatigue testing apparatus. The ratcheting strain of the thin wire increases with increasing axial mean stress and decreases in a sequence of linear, rhombic and circular paths. The mac...

Results of an experimental investigation of the seismic performance of prefabricated column-footing connections are presented. Tests were conducted on six 1/4-scale prefabricated column specimens inserted into prefabricated footings in two Groups. Group-1 consisted of four specimens, which were tested under constant axial load and cyclic inelastic lateral displacements. The remaining two specim...

the use of bio-ethanol as an alternative diesel engine fuel is rapidly increasing. bio-ethanol is mixed with diesel fuel at different ratios and used in ci and si engines. since vibrations have direct effects on users and engine components, for this reason analysis of vibration resulting from combustion in ci engines is very important. in this study, evaluation of vibration was performed for bo...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY In this study, our aim is to examine the effect of proximal fibular osteotomy on knee and ankle kinematics with finite element analysis method. MATERIAL AND METHODS One 62-year-old, female volunteer's radiologic images were used for creating lower limb model. Osteotomized model (OM) which was created according definition PFO non-osteotomized (NOM) created. To obtain a stres...
