FINITE DEFORMATION METHOD FOR SUSPENSION BRIDGES

Reliability analysis of suspension bridges against buffeting failure

A reliability analysis of suspension bridges against buffeting failure due to gustiness of wind velocity is carried out using the concept of PRA (probabilistic risk analysis) procedure. For this purpose, the bending stresses at the critical nodes of the bridge deck are obtained for buffeting forces using a spectral analysis technique and a finite element approach. For the purpose of reliability...

Extensional deformation of non-Newtonian liquid bridges

A numerical method for simulating the extensional dynamics of elongating ®laments of non-Newtonian ̄uids in a ®lament stretching rheometer is presented. The boundary element method, in conjunction with either the Oldroyd-B or the generalized multimode Upper-Convected Maxwell constitutive model, is used to calculate the transient evolution of the liquid interface, the applied force on the station...

Spectral Finite Element Method for Free Vibration of Axially Moving Plates Based on First-Order Shear Deformation Theory

In this paper, the free vibration analysis of moderately thick rectangular plates axially moving with constant velocity and subjected to uniform in-plane loads is investigated by the spectral finite element method. Two parallel edges of the plate are assumed to be simply supported and the remaining edges have any arbitrary boundary conditions. Using Hamilton’s principle, three equations of moti...
