The temperature distribution throughout the slab, time deflection behaviour, time longitudinal expansion, time stress behaviour in the tendon, and the failure modes were predicted by the model and verified against test data.
Previous studies have demonstrated that the types and details of the moment connections determine their behaviour, especially the failure mode, in the column removal scenario.
Furthermore, the difference in the post-collapse behaviour and the failure patterns indicated the characteristics of the catenary action.
In this case, the connector element is able to describe a self-piercing rivet behaviour until the failure.
However, the failure pipe exhibited a plastic deformation at far away from the defect region, consequently this behaviour needs to be considered in the failure analysis for an accurate prediction of failure pressure.
The economical and safe design of pressure vessels requires, besides others, also a detailed knowledge of the vessel failure behaviour in the case of existing imperfections or cracks.
The experimentally validated model predictions show that a non-linear finite element analysis can predict the member behaviour, in terms of failure mode and ultimate load, yield line pattern, overall stiffness and local strain in the cold-formed profiles.
In this approach, emotional problems are thought to result from faulty acquired behaviour patterns or the failure to learn effective responses.
When the layer of oxides becomes thick, its brittle behaviour influences significantly the failure.
Lessons on bad behaviour in the classroom.
