This study is limited to study of buckling analysis of a sandwich cylindrical shell with functionally graded face sheets and homogenous core. High-order sandwich plate theory is improved by considering the in-plane stresses of the core that usually are ignored in the analysis of sandwich structures. Assume that all properties of the face sheets and the core are temperature dependent. Strain com...

the base isolation systems are among the passive control devices that have been used over the last three decades to limit the seismic-induced response of structures. in this regard, the uniform building code provisions (ubc) has incorporated a special section for the seismic design of base isolated structures since its 1991 edition. due to the importance of the behavior of these structures unde...

This paper presents new research in the field of nonlinear static seismic analysis and N2 method for soil-structure systems. The rationale this study stems from inclusion systems simplified displacement-based design methods. conducted comprises three parts, including original experimental investigations, development numerical models validation results. A methodology is presented that provides a...

The type of floor system has a decisive role in the seismic performance unreinforced masonry buildings. in-plane stiffness floors to be adequately represented numerical modelling existing buildings, as it can influence their capacity. This paper investigates behaviour one-way arch systems composed steel or timber beams, and ceramic tile vaults. main objective research is provide procedure for s...

Seismic resiliency of new buildings has improved over the years due to enhancements in seismic codes and design practices. However, existing buildings designed and built under earlier codes are vulnerable and require a performance-based screening and retrofit prioritization. The performance modifiers considered are soft story, weak story, and the quality of construction, which are collated thro...

this paper examines differences in performances of a range of torsionally stiff and flexible single story buildings designed with the provisions of iranian standard 2800. seismic nonlinear dynamic time history behavior of eight building models subjected to seven horizontal bi-directional design spectra compatible ground motions are investigated. these models cover a wide range of very torsional...

The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the influence of the Soil- Foundation- Structure Interaction (SFSI) effects on the component demand modifier factor of concrete gravity beams based on ASCE 41-06 standard. To this end, the beam on the nonlinear Winkler foundation approach is employed which is a simple and efficient method. At first, four sets of 3-, 6-, 10- and 15-storey concrete mome...

We analyze a quasi-static Biot system of poroelasticity for both compressible and incompressible constituents. The main feature this model is nonlinear coupling pressure dilation through the system's permeability tensor. Such has been analyzed previously from point view constructing weak solutions fully discretized approach. In treatment, we consider simplified Dirichlet type boundary condition...

this paper describes a modified structural dynamics model for aeroelastic analysis of high-aspect-ratio wings undergoing large deformation behavior. to gain this aim, a moderate deflection beam model is modified with some important large deflection terms and then coupled with a state space unsteady aerodynamics model. finite element method is used to discretize the equations of motion. a dynami...
