Thermal transient analysis of steel hollow sections exposed to fire

Response of Fire Exposed Steel Bridge Girders

Computation of Structural Fire Resistance of Steel Sections

The main object of this study is to compute the structural fire resistance for several steel members under different loading conditions. This is done in chapter 4 using two advanced calculation models. Chapter 1 contains prescriptions according to European codes, needed for this research. In Chapter 2 the notion of structural fire resistance is explained and also information about the types of ...

Bending Fatigue Tests and Finite Element Models of Steel Rectangular Hollow Sections [SRHS]

The Welding in cold formed areas is not only an open question for statically loaded sections (brittle fracture) but also for dynamically loaded structures (fatigue resistance). A lot of structures are subjected to dynamic loadings and unfortunately very little information about the influence of welding in the cold formed areas on fatigue resistance is available. In order to establish the fatigu...

One-Dimensional Transient Thermal and Mechanical Stresses in FGM Hollow Cylinder with Piezoelectric Layers

In this paper, an analytical method is developed to obtain the solution for the one dimensional transient thermal and mechanical stresses in a hollow cylinder made of functionally graded material (FGM) and piezoelectric layers. The FGM properties are assumed to depend on the variable r and they are expressed as power functions of r but the Poisson’s ratio is assumed to be constant. Transient te...
