Static and dynamic nonlinear analysis of steel frame with semi-rigid connections
One of the important issues in the study of steel frames is to find a suitable formulation for semi-rigid connections. In this paper, the explicit stiffness matrix for a two-dimensional beam-column element having end-flexibilities is derived. The effects of the lateral uniformly distributed load on the deflection are considered. Both tensile and compressive axial loads are also taken into accou...
متن کاملPredicting Low Cycle Fatigue Life through Simulation of Crack in Cover Plate Welded Beam to Column Connections
This paper presents a low cycle fatigue life curve by simulating a crack in a cover plate welded moment connection. Initiation of ductile fracture in steel is controlled by growth and coalescence of micro-voids. This research used a numerical method using finite element modeling and simulation of ductile crack initiation by a micromechanical model. Therefore, a finite element model of a cover p...
متن کاملPERFORMANCE-BASED CONNECTION TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF UNBRACED AND X-BRACED STEEL FRAMES
The present study sets out to integrate the performance-based seismic design approach with the connection topology optimization method. Performance-based connection topology optimization concept aims to simultaneously optimize the size of members and the type of connections with respect to the framework of performance-based seismic design. This new optimization concept is carried out for unbrac...
متن کاملZoo of Lie n-Algebras
We present a menagerie of examples for Lie n-algebras, study their morphisms and discuss applications to higher order connections, in particular String 2-connections and Chern-Simons 3-connections.
متن کاملThe role of pairwise and higher-order correlations in feedforward inputs to neural networks How correlations in the divergent connections shape evoked dynamics
When presented with a task or stimulus, the ongoing activity in the brain is perturbed in order to process the new information of the environment. Typical characteristics of this evoked activity are (1) an increase in firing rate of neurons, (2) a decrease in trial-by-trial variability and (3) an increase or decrease in spike count correlations. Considering the importance of variability and cor...
