Bich et al. (2012, 2013), Bich and Nguyen (2012) used the smeared stiffeners technique, carried out the nonlinear analysis of eccentrically stiffened functionally graded cylindrical shell/panel, and eccentrically stiffened functionally graded shallow shell, (Bich and Van Tung 2011; Bich et al. 2011).
The equilibriumstiffeners, mandrialinearizednstabilityramequations analyzed in detail.
Differences in the lifting strategies used including the accelerated effect, pre-lifting technique, and stiffening of the arms were monitored to determine their influence on L5/S1 compressive forces under various load and range conditions.
Different techniques of locally stiffening the panels were investigated including bonding a steel coupling plate to the loaded surface of the panels and embedding steel tubes within the panel core.
Two independent case studies of two-storey buildings with timber floors stiffened with alternative techniques (addition of 45° oriented timber boards, of steel plates or of a 50-mm thick reinforced-concrete slab) have been analysed using three-dimensional numerical models.
For the prediction of buckling response of grid stiffened composite panels having different stiffening arrangements, an efficient finite element modelling technique is presented.
In this subject, a variety of constitutive laws, many approaches and various techniques have already been proposed to predict tension stiffening behaviour in reinforced concrete (RC) and fibre-reinforced (FRP) concrete structure.
In this subject, a variety of constitutive laws, many approaches and various techniques have already been proposed to predicate the tension stiffening behaviour in RC and FRP reinforced concrete structure.
Furthermore, the TTP technique can stiffen a localized area on a diaphragm substrate, thus increasing diaphragm stiffness without markedly raising diaphragm weight.
