in this article, vibration analysis of an euler-bernoulli beam resting on a pasternak-type foundation is studied. the governing equation is solved by using a spectral finite element model (sfem). the solution involves calculating wave and time responses of the beam. the fast fourier transform function is used for temporal discretization of the governing partial differential equation into a set ...

fiber reinforced polymers (frp) have widely used for the purposes of enhances strength and ductility of concrete columns. proper design of such hybrid columns, however, requires a better recognition of the behavior of concrete columns confined with frp. in this paper, the influence of frp thickness, concrete compressive strength, and column size on the performance of eccentrically loaded reacti...

this research work is devoted to the footprint analysis of a steel-belted radial tyre (185/65r14) under vertical static load using finite element method. two models have been developed in which in the first model the tread patterns were replaced by simple ribs while the second model was consisted of details of the tread blocks. linear elastic and hyper elastic (arruda-boyce) material models wer...

in the present research, the effects of delamination size and location on vibration characteristics of laminated composite beams are investigated both analytically and numerically. in the analytical method, the delaminated beam is modeled as four interconnected euler–bernoulli beams and the constrained and free mode models are both simulated. the differential stretching and the bending-extensio...

Ductile fracture modeling still has to be improved at the macro and microscales. New numerical methods are applied to the limit analysis of cells containing one or several voids or void clusters. The results are compared with existing macroscopic models. Voids can also be introduced in analytical polycrystalline models, in order to combine plastic anisotropy and texture evolution with ductile f...

the aim of this paper is to depict the psychological element in phenomenological analysis of the human subjectivity. this analysis should be considered within the philosophical context provided by philosophers of 18th and 19th centuries, and very specifically by kant as his transcendental philosophy was a turning point for later debates on the human subjectivity. in this paper, i will consider ...

This paper is about discrete sensitivity analysis. A triangular bending element with constant moment and six degrees of freedom is used. The required derivatives for sensitivity analysis are calculated explicitly. These formulations, finite element method and sequential linear programming are utilized to find shape optimization of plate bending structures. The numerical examples, which show the...
