Using Rotations to Obtain Compatibility Equations for Statically Indeterminate Trusses

This paper presents a new way of determining the compatibility conditions for statically indeterminate trusses. It is based on equations relating the angular displacements (rotations) of truss elements to the corresponding extensions obtained by requiring the displacements of the truss structure to be compatible, i.e., single valued. This new angular displacement method is likely to be most adv...

Mathematica Applied to Evaluation of Influence Lines and Envelopes of Statically Indeterminate Beams

The paper presents an analytical method of finding functions of influence lines of statically indeterminate beams. There are presented solutions of a fourth order equation with a right hand side with second and third derivative of Dirac delta. There is shown that their solution are influence lines of moments and transverse forces. Moreover, thanks to Mathematica, analytical form of envelopes fu...

A practical approach to fire hazard analysis for offshore structures.

Offshore quantitative risk assessments (QRA) have historically been complex and costly. For large offshore design projects, the level of detail required for a QRA is often not available until well into the detailed design phase of the project. In these cases, the QRA may be unable to provide timely hazard understanding. As a result, the risk reduction measures identified often come too late to ...
