Abstract:

Castellated beams are generally provided with hexagonal and circular openings in the web portion. However, in view of structural applications, appropriate size and shape of openings in web are always a major issue of concern. Research work carried out in optimizing sizes of castellated beam with hexagonal openings have reported that castellated beams fail mainly by local failure modes and stress concentrations at opening edges. Castellated beams with sinusoidal openings offer better performance due to its increased area for stress distribution in addition to curved edges that causes smooth stress distribution. Few researchers have studied flexural behaviour of castellated beams with sinusoidal openings however, optimization for size of such openings has not been reported so far. The paper focuses on parametric study of castellated beam with sinusoidal openings for optimization of opening size. Finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out by Abaqus software and also by Eurocode for different opening sizes and results obtained is experimentally validated. Results show that, castellated beam with sinusoidal opening of size 0.55times the overall depth of beam gives better strength.

Topology Optimization of Structures with Web-Openings

Abstract—Topology optimization technique utilizes constant element densities as design parameters. Finally, optimal distribution contours of the material densities between voids (0) and solids (1) in design domain represent the determination of topology. It means that regions with element density values become occupied by solids in design domain, while there are only void phases in regions wher...

COST OPTIMIZATION OF END-FILLED CASTELLATED BEAMS USING META-HEURISTIC ALGORITHMS

The main object of this research is to optimize an end-filled castellated beam. In order to support high shear forces close to the connections, sometimes it becomes necessary to fill certain holes in web opening beam. This is done by inserting steel plates and welding from both sides. Optimization of these beams is carried out using three meta-heuristic methods involves CSS, CBO, and CBO-PSO al...

CLIC 3 TeV Beam Size Optimization with Radiation Effects

Oide effect and radiation in bending magnets are reviewed aiming to include this in the optical design process to minimize the beam size. The Oide double integral is expressed in simpler terms in order to speed up calculations. Part of the Oide function is used to evaluate how prone is a quadrupole magnet to contribute to the beam size increase, concluding in larger magnets with lower gradients...

Sinusoidal Synthesis Optimization

This paper presents a method for improving synthesis efficiency in sinusoidal models. In the case of synthesizing polyphonic music, many overtones can be pruned, using perceptual and trigonometric methods. The main contribution of this work is a pre-processing algorithm giving a significant reduction of the number of sinusoids to synthesize (from several thousands to around one hundred), consis...

Parameter Optimization Algorithm for Sinusoidal Signal Model

AN OPTIMIZATION PROCEDURE FOR CONCRETE BEAM-COLUMN JOINTS STRENGTHENED WITH FRP

This paper illustrates an optimization procedure of concrete beam-column joints subjected to shear that are strengthened with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP). For this aim, five different values have been considered for length, width and thickness of the FRP sheets which created 125 different models to strengthen of concrete beam-column joints. However, by using response surface methodology (RSM...
