This work explores the postbuckling behavior of a marine stiffened composite plate in presence initial imperfections. The imperfection shapes are derived from buckling mode and their combinations. Thereafter, these applied to model, nonlinear large deflection finite element progressive failure analyses performed ANSYS 18.2 software. Hashin criterion is employed model plate. effect geometric on ...

Mid-story pin column system has been proposed to realize beam yielding mechanism of a steel moment-resisting frame. In this system, connection is applied inbetween the upper and lower RC extended from base control moment demands on both ends first story column. An exposed-type adopted as connected by single anchor bolt. Static cyclic horizontal loading tests partial frame consisting second floo...

We calculated the Fresnel paraxial propagator in a birefringent plate having topological charge q at its center, named "q-plate." We studied the change of the beam transverse profile when it traverses the plate. An analytical closed form of the beam profile propagating in the q-plate can be found for many important specific input beam profiles. We paid particular attention to the plate having a...

the plate girders are used in important structural systems. the earlier design of plate girders was restricted to their critical bukling capacity. experimental and theoretical studies show the plate girders with vertical stiffners can carry load over than their critical buckling loads and then in modern design codes is permitted to use post- buckling capacity of them. in this case the out- of- ...

this article considers the seismic behavior of beam-to-column joints in steel frames for different bolt arrangements by using of finite element modeling. as the most important beam-to-column joint type, the beam-to-column joints with end-plate is chosen for the analysis. four different specimens have been analyzed. these models had some differences such as bolt arrangement and the presence or a...

Welding-induced residual stress is known to reduce the ultimate compressive strength of moderately slender stiffened panels under longitudinal compression. This paper contributes a quantified measure this reduction and draws some qualitative observations linking significance influence collapse mode panel. A series nonlinear finite element analyses are completed which covers range plate slendern...

Precast concrete structures in Iran are generally designed as continuous columns with hinged beams, thereby making them simple frames. In this system in site show walls in two directions of buildings guaranteed lateral resisting system. However, in order to obtain a seismic resisting frame, the connection between beam and column should be moment resisting and ductile, allowing the formation of ...
