This paper presents a new stochastic finite element method for computing structural responses. The provides expansion of response and decouples the into combination series deterministic responses with random variable coefficients. A dedicated iterative algorithm is proposed to determine corresponding coefficients one by one. computes in their individual space insensitive dimensions, thus it can...

This paper presents experimental results of both quasi-static compression and low-velocity impact behavior for tri-axial bio-composite structural panels using a spherical load head. Panels were made having different core and face configurations. The results showed that panels made having either carbon fiber fabric composite faces or a foam-filled core had significantly improved impact and compr...

In the present study, the author’s previous experimental investigations on the vortex induced vibration of uniform and tapered circular cylinders are numerically simulated. The circular cylinders have medium mass ratios (5.93, 6.1), low mass-damping parameters (0.0275, 0.0279) a mean diameter of 0.028m and an aspect ratio of about 14. A fully coupled two-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) an...
