Eigenfrequencies of generally restrained beams

Eigenfrequencies of Fractal Drums Eigenfrequencies of Fractal Drums

A method for the computation of eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes of fractal drums is presented. The approach involves first mapping the unit disk to a polygon approximating the fractal and then solving a weighted eigenvalue problem on the unit disk by a spectral collocation method. The numerical computation of the complicated conformal mapping was made feasible by the use of the fast multipole m...

A Hybrid Procedure to Identify the Optimal Stiffness Coefficients of Elastically Restrained Beams

The formulation of a bending vibration problem of an elastically restrained Bernoulli–Euler beam carrying a finite number of concentrated elements along its length is presented. In this study, the authors exploit the application of the differential evolution optimization technique to identify the torsional stiffness properties of the elastic supports of a Bernoulli–Euler beam. This hybrid strat...

Large deflection response of restrained steel beams under fire and explosion loads

A numerical study on the response of steel beams to fire and explosion is presented in this paper. First, a unified computing model, which can be used to simulate the behaviour of beams under four loading scenarios that involve fire and explosion or impact, is constructed. The proposed technique allows complete transparency of the influence of the various parameters on the structural behaviour....

An Experimental Study on Seismic Performance of Steel Truss Coupling Beams with Buckling-restrained Brace

Through the pseudo-static test on the steel truss coupling beams with buckling-restrained brace, the bearing capacity, deformation capacity, hysteresis curve, skeleton curve, ductility, Energy Dissipation and stiffness degradation of such coupling beam are understood. The test results show that the steel truss coupling beams with buckling-restrained brace is characterized by bigger bearing capa...
