Abstract:

In this paper, buckling of simply supported column with an edge crack is investigated numerically and analytically. Four different scenarios of damage severities are applied to a column, open crack assumption and the effect of closing crack in stability of the column which depends on position and size of cracks, are numerically compared. Crack surfaces contact is modeled with GAP element using SAP2000. For analytical solution, transfer matrix method, combined with fundamental solutions of the intact columns is used to obtain the capacity of slender prismatic columns. The stiffness of the cracked section is modeled by a massless rotational spring and governing equations are obtained explicitly for simply supported column from second-order determinant. As expected results show that the effect of a closing crack in presence of compressive load may lead to an increment in buckling load depending on crack depth and position. For the first time, a dimensionless formulation based on numerical results is presented in this study. Proposed formula predicts increment effect of closing crack in buckling results of a notched column.

the effect analysis of proficiency on language - switching in iranian efl learners writing

abstract in a protocol analysis of second language writing from 20 adult english as a foreign language (efl) iranian students, this research observed how language-switching (l-s), i.e., first language use in l2 writing, was affected by l2 proficiency. switching interactively between first (l1) and second (l2) languages has been recognized as one of the salient characteristics of l2 writing....

Experimental and Numerical Analysis of the Critical Buckling Load of Cracked Sheets

Collapse by buckling a quite common phenomenon in sheets under pressure. When these structures caused by defects such as corrosion and cracks the time of the occurrence of this phenomenon is sensitive and critical load to be significantly reduced. Therefore, in this article sheet of aluminum Al 1200 by cracks in a part of the sheet will be considered. Left angle on the critical buckling load ef...

Crack opening analysis of complex cracked pipes

Based on the reference stress approach, two sets of the crack opening displacement (COD) estimation equations are proposed for a complex cracked pipe. One set of equations can be used for the case when full stressstrain data are known, and the other for the case when only yield and tensile strengths are available. To define the reference stress, a simple plastic limit analysis for the complex c...

A numerical and experimental study on buckling and post-buckling of cracked plates under axial compression load

Existence of cracks in industrial structures is one of the important causes of their failure, especially when they are subjected to important axial compressive forces that might lead to buckling. Therefore, it must be considered in stress analysis and designing and loading of such structures. In this paper, the buckling and post-buckling behaviors of stainless-steel cracked plates under axial c...
