Propagation analysis is a dynamic code analysis technique that can be used to quantitatively assess certain software properties that are oth erwise di cult to assess such as testability safety and security The currently accepted analysis technique relies heavily on repeated execution of the code being assessed and is therefore very expensive to apply We are currently developing static analysis ...

progressive collapse is defined as the spread of an initial failure from element to element, eventually resulting in the collapse of an entire structure or a disproportionately large part of it. the current progressive collapse analyses and design methods in guidelines and codes focus on the alternate load path method. this method is suitable especially in the case of blast-induced progressive ...

nonlinear static procedure (nsp) is a common technique to predict seismic demands on various building structures by subjecting a monotonically increasing horizontal loading (pushover) to the structure. therefore, the pushover analysis is an important part of each nsp. accordingly, the current paper aims at investigating the efficiencyof various algorithms of lateral load patterns applied to the...

This paper studies the nonlinear vibration analysis of a simply supported Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation under compressive axial load using nonlinear normal modes concept in the case of three-to-one (3:1) internal resonance. The beam’s governing nonlinear PDE of motion and also its boundary conditions are derived and then solved using the method of Multiple Time ...

The present research is concerned with the determination of ductility, over-strength and response modification factors of coupled steel shear wall frames. Three structural models with various numbers of stories, bay width and coupling beam height were analyzed using static pushover and incremental nonlinear dynamic analyses. The ductility, over-strength and response modification factors for the...

With due attention to the fact that the local and foreign vehicle industries are changing and modifying the previous designs in order to produce new designs, the components of self-propelled are to be differently analyzed. Static and dynamic analysis is one of them. In this paper, chassis and body of a o-457 bus were studied and analyzed under finite element method (using ANSYS).This process wa...

although in recent two decades, the concept of dielectric barrier discharges (dbds) have been developed in ozone production well, air pollution control, plasma screens and control of chemical, and biological and medical processes, employment of this concept for high voltage applications to improve insulation performance as an alternative to the pressurized gas-insulated systems (gis) utilizing ...
