Intraplate compressional deformation in the Central Indian Basin is expressed as linear E-W trending topographic undulations and geoid anomlies with characteristic spacings of approximately 200 km. To elucidate the nature of this deformation, we develop models of an oceanic lithosphere in a state of horizontal compression. The lithosphere is treated as a viscous or plastic layer of uniform stre...

Under high gravity loads, steel double-beam floor systems need to be reinforced by beam-end concrete panels reduce the material quantity since rotational constraints from panel can decrease moment demand inducing a negative at ends of beams. However, optimal design process for beams requires time-consuming iterative analysis entire system while especially keeping in consideration composite conn...

The model of the large deflection of fabrics considering the effect of bending hysteresis was established for describing the post-buckling behavior of woven fabrics. The moment-curvature relationship of fabrics obtained by pure bending test was approximated by the Rate-model and the change in the flexural rigidity caused by the hysteresis was incorporated into the analysis. Using a nonlinear FE...

A study into the mechanical behaviour and design of steel equal-leg cruciform section members subjected to axial compression is presented. Experimental data from literature are used validate shell finite element models developed within commercial package ABAQUS for their load-deformation ultimate behaviour. numerical parametric then considers columns with a wide range slenderness ratios various...

While structural strengthening is not the consequence of a structure's condition failure, it does take place as result need to increase stiffness and load capacity when change in usage occurs. As result, various techniques must be presented enhance elements by considering economic time requirement factors load-bearing capacity. In this study, issue demonstrated using steel I-beam that was stren...

A novel microresonator operating on the principle of nonlinear modal interactions due to autoparametric 1:2 internal resonance is introduced. Specifically, an electrostatically actuated pedal-microresonator design, utilizing internal resonance between an out-of-plane torsional mode and a flexural in-plane vibrating mode is considered. The two modes have their natural frequencies in 1:2 ratio, a...

A pallet rack is a structure in which the beams and uprights are cold-formed steel sections. The beam-upright connections are normally clipped in order to select the beam levels required and for ease of assembly. For this reason, the uprights contain holes and perforations distributed along their length. The complexity of these components, with local, distortional and torsional/flexural bucklin...

Ball screw drives are widely used as the motion delivery mechanism due to their high stiffness and high accuracy. As the speed and precision requirements from machine tools increase, the effects of the structural flexibility of the drives on controller performance are becoming increasingly significant. The vibrations adversely affect the positioning accuracy and performance of the drive. The na...

It is of great significance to understand the underlying mechanism of buckling-driven wrinkles in graphene monolayer due to its applications in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). In previous macroscopic studies based on continuum theory, the chirality-dependent buckling in graphene monolayer is considered as neglectable. However, we found that the growth of buckling-driven wrinkles in graphe...
