Castellated Beam with and without Stiffners Using ANSYS

OPTIMIZATION OF OPENING SIZE FOR CASTELLATED BEAM WITH SINUSOIDAL OPENINGS

Castellated beams are generally provided with hexagonal and circular openings in the web portion. However, in view of structural applications, appropriate size and shape of openings in web are always a major issue of concern. Research work carried out in optimizing sizes of castellated beam with hexagonal openings have reported that castellated beams fail mainly by local failure modes and stres...

Vibration Simulation Using MATLAB and ANSYS

Analysis of Three Dimensional Horizontal Reinforced Concrete Curved Beam Using Ansys

Reinforced concrete horizontally curved beams are extensively used in many fields, such as in the construction of modern highway intersections, elevated freeways, the rounded corners of buildings, circular balconies,....etc. In some of these cases, large depths are needed for curved beams in order to resist high loads or to fulfill some aesthetic purposes. The analytical analysis of such member...

Dielectrophoretic isolation of cells using 3D microelectrodes featuring castellated blocks.

We present 3D microelectrodes featuring castellated blocks for dielectrophoretically isolating cells. These electrodes provide a more effective dielectrophoretic force field than thin-film surface electrodes and yet immobilize cells near stagnation points across a parabolic flow profile for enhanced cell viability and separation efficiency. Unlike known volumetric electrodes with linear profile...

Failure Load Prediction of Castellated Beams Using Artificial Neural Networks

This paper explores the use of artificial neural networks in predicting the failure load of castellated beams. 47 experimental data collected from the literature cover the simply supported beams with various modes of failure, under the action of either central single load, uniformly distributed load or two-point loads acting symmetrically with respect to the center line of the span. The data ar...
