in this paper, simulation and analysis of thin steel cylindrical shells with elliptical cutouts under oblique loading were studied using finite element method. first, the numerical results were validated by the results of experimental test performed by an instron 8802 servo hydraulic machine. also, the effect of cutout angle (θ), cutout size, cutout position (l0/l) and cutout aspect ratios (b/a...

fast fracture is one of the major failure modes in brittle polymers. generally, crack growth in these polymers may occur under combined tensile-shear loading. however, the fracture test data reported previously for some dental restorative resins can not be predicted by using the available fracture criteria.in this paper, a modified fracture criterion is used for estimating the fracture load for...

Experimental investigation of the ultimate resistance of slender, steel-plate girder web panels to combined shear-and-patch loading indicates significant interaction between shear loading and patch loading. However, an existing interaction formula is based on experimental results. Herein, an improved design procedure for slender plate girders subjected to combined shear and patch loading is pro...

objective: cell vital function has correlation with mechanical loadings that cell experiences. here, effects of in-vitro combined cyclic-static stretch on proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cell (hmsc) were evaluated. materials and methods: hmscs were cultured on gelatin coated elastic membranes, and exposed to stretch loading. four different regimes of cyclic, static, combined cyclic-sta...

Finite element analysis of a tubular T-joint subjected to various loading conditions including pure axial loading, pure in-plane bending (IPB) and different ratios of axial loading to in-plane bending loading has been carried out. This effort has been established to estimate magnitudes of the peak hot spot stresses (HSS) at the brace/chord intersection and to find the corresponding locations as...

This article introduces three simple ideas that lead to the efficient design of regular moment frames. The finite module concept assumes that the moment frame may be construed as being composed of predesigned, imaginary rectangular modules that fit into the bays of the structure. Plastic design analysis aims at minimizing the demand-capacity ratios of elements of ductile moment frames by induci...
