It has large advantages over conventional linear elastic procedures and our findings indicate that it is a reliable tool to use in daily design practice.
An elastic solution procedure based on Lekhnitskii's theory was developed in order to predict the burst failure pressure of the pressure vessels.
Although pushover analysis has advantages over elastic analysis procedures, underlying assumptions, the accuracy of pushover predictions, and limitations of current pushover procedures must be identified.
In order to explore the effect of fiber orientation angle on the Young's modulus of composites, from the basic theory of elastic mechanics, a procedure which can be applied to evaluate the elastic stiffness matrix of GFRP composite as an analytical function of fiber orientation angle (from 0° to 90°), was developed.
In order to model the material behavior in the notch, stress-strain analysis of the notched specimens was performed by an elastic-plastic FEM procedure; the parameters describing the material behavior of the single crystal superalloy have been identified by comparison with experimentally determined stress-strain fatigue behavior of smooth specimens.
One evaluation in the guide was an evaluation of subgrade condition, in terms of elastic moduli, using backcalculation procedure from field deflection data.
In this procedure, both elastic and rigid supports are taken into account, and a closed-form expression for the moment derivative is generated.
This paper points out an accurate buckling model for determining the flexural effective length of a steel column subjected to intermediate gravity loads, for applications in the 2D second-order elastic analysis based design procedure.
The tangent stiffness matrix is available in a closed form and the need of taking the inverse of the flexibility matrix, which is faced in the solution procedure of elastic catenary, is eliminated.
The same procedure of elastic traction continued until the impacted tooth became exposed to the oral environment.
