This paper represents experimental and numerical study the behavior of rubberized steel frame connections. One single-bay, one-story without elastic buckling are cyclically tested. The specimens simulated analyzed by ABAQUS program. Four plane portal investigated under horizontal reversed cyclic loads. specimen connections developed using different diameters composite bolts/rubber instead conve...

Using lightweight reinforced concrete beams with glass fiber bars (GFRP) is one approach for achieving the requirement seismic design idea of “strong-columns weak-beams”. Twelve full-scale normal-strength (NC fc` = 32 MPa) and high-strength (HSLWC 42, 49 52 exterior beam-column joints have been tested under cyclic loadings. The were conventional steel (CS) GFRP using fibers (SF). experimental j...

In this work, an experimental and numerical program was designed to evaluate the role of compressive strength, Fc, area reinforcing steel, As, on flexural behavior functionally graded reinforced concrete beams. Eighteen layered sections beams were tested with different strengths arrangement main steel. The result showed that minimum steel reinforcement higher strength in compression zone increa...

A computational thermo-mechanical model has been developed to simulate the continuous casting of shaped sections, such as used for thin steel slabs. A general form of the transient heat equation including latent-heat from phase transformations such as solidification and other temperature-dependent properties is solved numerically for the temperature field history. The resulting thermal stresses...

FEA contact modeling with severe interfacial friction is often associated with computational challenges to obtain converged solutions. The challenges may increase for problems with significant non-linear deformation (e.g., hyperelastic materials) and more sophisticated laws of coefficients of frictions (COF). Thus, objectives of the present paper are to propose an efficient FEA-based approach t...

Abstract A cross‐scale homogenization approach for multi‐phase materials is to calculate an effective material stiffness in the smaller scale multiple states. These detailed results are used identify a calculation rule larger scale. The of matrix using ABAQUS 3D finite elements was already described by [1]. This can be transferred 2D ℝ 3×3 without much effort. However, some require specificatio...
