This paper investigates the structural behaviour of high strength steel (HSS) circular hollow section (CHS) T-joints under brace axial compression. Finite element analysis on CHS using S460, S700, S900 and S1100 was conducted, chord plastification failure examined. The effect heat affected zones (HAZ) joint influences grade, to diameter ratio (β) wall thickness (2γ) suitability CIDECT mean equa...

Structural operational semantics can be studied at the general level of distributive laws of syntax over behaviour. This yields specification formats for well-behaved algebraic operations on final coalgebras, which are a domain for the behaviour of all systems of a given type functor. We introduce a format for specification of algebraic operations that restrict to the rational fixpoint of a fun...

In recent years, a number of functional and structural neuroimaging studies have investigated the neural bases of aggressive and violent behaviour in children and adolescents. Most functional neuroimaging studies have persued the hypothesis that pathological aggression is a consequence of deficits in the neural circuits involved in emotion processing. There is converging evidence for abnormal n...

In this paper a Romanesque masonry church is analysed in order to assess its structural behaviour and its seismic vulnerability with respect to the actual state of conservation. Starting from a specific case study, a contribution to the issue of modelling and analysis of monumental masonry buildings under seismic action is provided. A finite element methodology for the static and dynamic nonlin...

Most reported MDA approaches give much attention to structural aspects in PSMs and in generated code, and less attention to the PIM level and the behaviour of the modelled applications. Consequently, application behaviour is generally not (well) defined at the PIM level. This paper presents an MDAbased approach that incorporates behaviour modelling at the PIM level in the development of a speci...
