This study is limited to study of buckling analysis of a sandwich cylindrical shell with functionally graded face sheets and homogenous core. High-order sandwich plate theory is improved by considering the in-plane stresses of the core that usually are ignored in the analysis of sandwich structures. Assume that all properties of the face sheets and the core are temperature dependent. Strain com...

the base isolation systems are among the passive control devices that have been used over the last three decades to limit the seismic-induced response of structures. in this regard, the uniform building code provisions (ubc) has incorporated a special section for the seismic design of base isolated structures since its 1991 edition. due to the importance of the behavior of these structures unde...

the nonlinear static pushover analysis technique is mostly used in the performance-based design of structures and it is favored over nonlinear response history analysis. however, the pushover analysis with fema load distributions losses its accuracy in estimating seismic responses of long period structures when higher mode effects are important. some procedures have been offered to consider thi...

this paper examines differences in performances of a range of torsionally stiff and flexible single story buildings designed with the provisions of iranian standard 2800. seismic nonlinear dynamic time history behavior of eight building models subjected to seven horizontal bi-directional design spectra compatible ground motions are investigated. these models cover a wide range of very torsional...

The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the influence of the Soil- Foundation- Structure Interaction (SFSI) effects on the component demand modifier factor of concrete gravity beams based on ASCE 41-06 standard. To this end, the beam on the nonlinear Winkler foundation approach is employed which is a simple and efficient method. At first, four sets of 3-, 6-, 10- and 15-storey concrete mome...

We analyze a quasi-static Biot system of poroelasticity for both compressible and incompressible constituents. The main feature this model is nonlinear coupling pressure dilation through the system's permeability tensor. Such has been analyzed previously from point view constructing weak solutions fully discretized approach. In treatment, we consider simplified Dirichlet type boundary condition...

this paper describes a modified structural dynamics model for aeroelastic analysis of high-aspect-ratio wings undergoing large deformation behavior. to gain this aim, a moderate deflection beam model is modified with some important large deflection terms and then coupled with a state space unsteady aerodynamics model. finite element method is used to discretize the equations of motion. a dynami...

explosion and fire on an offshore rig can lead to its minor or complete damage and sinking which means the loss of life or environmental pollution. hence the use of techniques such as blast wall is crucial to reduce the detrimental effects. these blast walls are designed for explosion wave of length between 0.1 to 1 of load mainly to protect the personnel and critical sections. in this research...

recently, scientists developed the seismic rehabilitation of structures and their points of view were changed from strength to the performance of structures. nonlinear static procedure (nsp) or pushover analysis is a new method that is chosen for its speed and simplicity in calculations. “seismic rehabilitation code” & fema356 considered this method. result of this analysis is a target displace...
