Fem Analysis of Truss Hollow Section Joint
نویسندگان
چکیده
Truss structures are widely used in construction of large-scale buildings. Design of steel structures is standardised in detail through set of European standards called EUROCODE. One of these standards, ENV 1993-1-8 deals with design of joints, but it does not cover the design of conical element for reduction of circular hollow section to the joint. Finite element method was used in this paper to analyse this conical element with complex shape. The chosen design parameters were varied in order to obtain smooth stress distribution. Results showed that existing design can be modified, reducing the mass while keeping stress levels within acceptable limits.

1. Abstract In this paper we study concurrent material and structural optimum design of hollow plate with truss-like material based on a micropolar continua representation. The optimization formulation has two classes of design variables, relative density and local aperture distribution of truss-like material, under the given total material volume constraints. Three different objectives, which ...

Fused Deposition modelling (FDM) technology is based on decomposition of 3-D computer models into thin cross sectional layers, followed by physically forming the layer and stacking them up layer by layer. FDM provide freedom to add material in the desired area and we are also able to create hollow region in certain portion of layer. In this way low weight with good strength single ply raw mater...
متن کاملThe Effect of Viscous Dampers on Improvement of the Behavior of Tall Belt Truss Structures
Using energy absorption systems in the structures with malfunctioning components is of paramount importance. By absorbing the seismic energy, these systems help the components of the structure to remain resilient during earthquake. In the present study, viscous dampers were applied in order to enhance the reactions of tall building with belt truss. To assess the response of a structure un...
