Typically, beams that form part of structural systems are subjected to vertical distributed loading along their length. Distributed loading affects moment and shear distribution, and consequently spread of inelasticity, along the beam length. However, the finite element models developed so far for seismic analysis of frame structures either ignore the effect of vertical distributed loading on s...

On the basis of the pseudopotential plane-wave(PP-PW) method and the local-density-functional theory(LDFT), this paper studies energetics, stressstrain relation, stability and ideal strength of β-SiC under various loading modes, where uniform uniaxial extension and tension, biaxial proportional extension are considered along directions [001] and [111]. The lattice constant, elastic constants an...

Modeling and simulation of communication circuits at high frequency are important challenges ahead in the design and construction of these circuits. Knowing the fact that the lumped element model is not valid at high frequency, distributed analysis is presented based on active and passive transmission lines theory. In this paper, a lossy transmission line model of traveling wave switch (TWSW) i...

When compared to tests on reinforced concrete (RC) walls with a rectangular or barbelled crosssection, only very few tests on RC walls with open cross-section exist. Most of these walls were subjected to unidirectional or bidirectional loading along one or both of the principal axes of the wall section. It was rare that tests were done using load paths that did not follow the principal axes. Th...

The following article investigates buckling of moderately thick circular Nano plates with an orthotropic property under uniform radial compressive in-plane mechanical load. Taking into account nonlocal elasticity theory (Eringen), principle of virtual work, first order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT) and nonlinear Von-Karman strains, the governing equations are obtained based on displacem...

According to the Eshelby conjecture, an ellipse or ellipsoid is only shape that induces interior uniform strain under a far-field loading. We extend conjecture domains of general for anti-plane elasticity. Specifically, we show each positive integer N , inclusion polynomial loading degree if and exterior conformal map Laurent series . Furthermore, isotropic case, characterize by using first-deg...
