El-plastic Behavior and Ultimate Strength of Damaged Tubular Members

Ultimate Collapse Strength Assessment of Damaged Steel-Plated Structures

In an unpredictable world where human intervention or unexpected environmental conditions can prevail, damage can occur to manmade structures. Whilst structural design allows for redundancy, or a structural capability beyond the general working load of the structure, it is necessary to be able to analyse and understand the residual capability of a damaged structure to ensure the safety of perso...

Ultimate Collapse Strength Assessment of Damaged Steel Plated Grillages

Across many industries damage events leading to a breach in structural integrity continue to occur. An area where this can lead to particularly unsafe conditions is in the maritime environment, where it may be difficult to rescue crew and cargo. In order to improve structural safety through design for the survivability or to assess the residual strength of a damaged vessel in an emergency respo...

Simple and efficient analyses of micro-architected cellular elastic-plastic materials with tubular members

In a novel way, nature evolves cellular structures to obtain mechanically efficient materials. Natural cellular materials combine low weight with superior mechanical properties to provide optimum strength and stiffness at low density such as trabecular bone, hornbill bird beaks, and bird wing bones. Inspired by these naturally architected cellular materials, humankind has also developed lightwe...

Prediction of ultimate strength of shale using artificial neural network

A rock failure criterion is very important for prediction of the ultimate strength in rock mechanics and geotechnics; it is determined for rock mechanics studies in mining, civil, and oil wellborn drilling operations. Also shales are among the most difficult to treat formations. Therefore, in this research work, using the artificial neural network (ANN), a model was built to predict the ultimat...
