in this paper, numerical simulation of frp composite cylinder tubes progressive crushing processes is conducted using ls-dyna. details on the numerical modeling strategy are given and discussed. it is found that triggers introduced in the numerical simulation can effectively model the bevel trigger at the end of the tubular specimens. it is also found that two-layer finite element model based o...

In hot forming process, the workpiece undergoes plastic deformation at high temperature and the microstructure of the workpiece changes according to the plastic deformation. These changes affect the mechanical properties of workpiece. In order to optimize this process, both the plastic deformation of workpiece and its microstructural changes should be taken into consideration. Since material be...

latticed columns are frequently used in industrial steel structures. in some countries these built-up columns might be even used in other types of steel structures such as residential and commercial buildings. besides, latticed columns are parts of skeletons of many historic buildings all around the world. to analyze a steel structure with latticed columns a more accurate numerical model for su...

In this study, the behavior characteristics of I beam-to-concrete filled tube (CFT) column connection is studied through experiment and finite element models under the monotonic loading. To validate the finite element modeling, at first, an experimental model is made and experimented. After validation of the finite element modeling, different models were created in the software. The studied par...

the impact resistance of new lightweight panel is studied. this panel consists of two thin metal layers bonded together by intermediate fiber/epoxy layers (mcm-sheets). to simulate a behavior of this kind of impact problem, explicit and implicit finite element software abaqus is used. in order to validate the finite element modeling, these results have been compared with experimental test resul...

This paper deals with the modeling of punching shear failure in reinforced concrete slabs using nonlinear finite element analysis. The 3D finite element analyses (FEA) were performed with the appropriate modeling of element size and mesh, and the constitutive modeling of concrete. The FE numerical models are validated by comparing with the experimental results obtained from tested specimens and...
