DUAL BOUNDARY ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF CRACKED PLATES

The dual boundary element method is formulated for the analysis of linear elastic cracked plates. The dual boundary integral equations of the method are the displacement and the traction equations. When these equations are simultaneously applied along the crack boundaries, general crack problems can be solved in a single-region formulation, with both crack boundaries discretized with discontinu...

Fatigue Strength of Medial Column Plates

Introduction: The use of plate systems represents a well-recognized technique for obtaining an effective compression, reduction and stabilization of the medial column of the foot. In this study, the in vitro fatigue strength of NCM (Medial Column Fusion) plates was determined and compared to a competitor’s equivalent foot system. Material: Two plates were investigated: Stryker VariAx 2 NCM Plat...

Beam-to-Column Connections with Demountable Energy Dissipative Plates

The behavior of steel structures subjected to seismic actions depends directly on the connections behavior. There are two current tendencies for ensuring the structural ductility: allowing the formation of plastic hinges in the beams by using reduced beam sections or reduced web sections or by ensuring the plastic hinge formation in the connection by using dissipative elements. This paper prese...

Evaluation of Column-Tree Moment Resisting Connection with End Plates and Haunched Beam (RESEARCH NOTE)

The column-tree constructional schemes allows for a reliable and convenient erection of moment resisting steel frames. Strengthening of column-tree connection with a haunch part can significantly improve seismic behavior of whole system. In the current study behavior of column-tree connections with haunched beams and end plate splices have been investigated. Special attention was paid for evalu...
