abstract

this paper describe the three dimensional finite element modeling and buckling analysis ofconventional pallet racking system with semi rigid connection. in this study threedimensional models of conventional pallet racking system were prepared using the finiteelement program ansys and finite element analysis carried out on conventional pallet rackswith the 18 types of column sections developed along with semi-rigid connections. aparametric study was carried out to compare the effective length approach and the finiteelement method for accuracy and appropriateness for cold-formed steel frame design.numerous frame elastic buckling analyses were carried out to evaluate the alignment chartand the aisi torsional-flexural buckling provisions. the parameters that influence the valueof kx for column flexural buckling were examined in this study. the alignment chart and theaisi torsional-flexural buckling provisions, used to obtain the effective lengths and elasticbuckling load of members were also evaluated. results showed that the elastic buckling loadobtained from the aisi torsional-flexural buckling provisions is generally conservativecompared to the results obtained from performing frame elastic buckling analysis. resultsalso showed that, the effective length approach is more conservative than the finite elementapproach.

Nonlinear inelastic dynamic analysis of space steel frames with semi-rigid connections in urban buildings

Applied studies addressing semi-rigid connections have been limited. Scant information exists in regulations except little brief information. Therefore, this research analyzes the behavior of three-dimensional steel frames and semi-rigid connections based on beam-column method and non-linear dynamic analysis. Stability functions and geometric stiffness matrix were used to study the non-linear g...

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...

Earthquake Analysis of 3-D Structures on Sliding Foundation Using Yield Equation of the Contact Surface

A solution technique for the dynamic analysis of asymmetric base-isolated buildings, subject to earthquake ground motion, is presented. To develop the formulation, a yield surface as a function of both shear force and torsion moment of the sliding surface with rigid perfectly plastic behavior is constituted. To achieve the objective, the yield stress is defined by the friction coefficient throu...

Topologic connection between 2-D layered structures and 3-D diamond structures for conventional semiconductors

When coming to identify new 2D materials, our intuition would suggest us to look from layered instead of 3D materials. However, since graphite can be hypothetically derived from diamond by stretching it along its [111] axis, many 3D materials can also potentially be explored as new candidates for 2D materials. Using a density functional theory, we perform a systematic study over the common Grou...
