The influence of infills on the seismic response frame structures has been long recognised. On one hand, presence may be beneficial, due to their contribution dissipate energy. other irregular infill distributions in plan or elevation can lead concentration displacement demand localised parts building. It is noted that lack more panels depend original building layout generated by collapse durin...

This paper presents the buckling analysis of the piezoelectric functionally graded material (FGM) rectangular plates subjected to non-uniformly distributed loads, heat and voltage based on the mesh-free method. A two-step solution procedure is implemented. The first step is to determine the pre-buckling stresses of the plates subjected to non-uniformly distributed loads. The second step is to s...

The initial stage of fretting fatigue crack growth is significantly influenced by tangential force induced by fretting action along the contact surface where a mixed-mode crack growth is involved. Fretting crack behavior of aluminum alloy 2024 was studied, taking into account the problem of contact asperities. Finite element was used for the determination of the stress field near the contact su...

This paper investigates the buckling of finite isotropic rectangular plates with circular cutout under uniaxial and biaxial loading. The complex potential method is used to calculate the pre-buckling stress distribution around the cutout in the plate with finite dimensions. To satisfy the in-plane boundary conditions, the generalized complex-potential functions are introduced and a new method b...

This research deals with determination of the loading an open container during operating modes. The special feature this is its convex walls. engineering solution increases useful capacity a by 8% in comparison to that prototype. elastic elements bearing structure were introduced decrease dynamic loads. loads vertical plane dumped means dry friction forces between components cross bearers conta...
