One of the important issues in the study of steel frames is to find a suitable formulation for semi-rigid connections. In this paper, the explicit stiffness matrix for a two-dimensional beam-column element having end-flexibilities is derived. The effects of the lateral uniformly distributed load on the deflection are considered. Both tensile and compressive axial loads are also taken into accou...

Based on the adaptive Dynamic Relaxation (aDR) method, a modified adaptive Dynamic Relaxation (maDR) method is proposed which is more efficient than the former in solving non-linear problems. It is then applied to analysing the elastic-plastic bending of circular plates in large deflection and their following wrinkling, and leads to satisfactory results compared with corresponding experimental ...

This paper presents a new approach for large-deflection analysis of truss structures employing the Dynamic Relaxation method (DR). The typical formulation for DR has been established utilizing the finite difference technique which is categorized as an explicit method. The special characteristic of the explicit method is its simple algebraic relationships in comparison with complicated matrix op...

Parallel-plate electrostatic actuators are a simple way to achieve piston motion for large numbers of mirrors in spatial light modulators. However, selection of design parameters is made difficult by their nonlinear behavior. This paper presents simple models for predicting static and dynamic behaviors of fixed–fixed parallel-plate electrostatic actuators. Static deflection equations are derive...

In the presented paper, the governing equations of a vibratory beam with moderately large deflection are derived using the first order shear deformation theory. The beam is homogenous, isotropic and it is subjected to the dynamic transverse and axial loads. The kinematic of the problem is according to the Von-Karman strain-displacement relations and the Hook's law is used as the constitutive eq...

The Reynolds equation is extended to include the effects of radial deflection in a seal with two flexibly mounted rotors. The resulting pressures are used to obtain the forces and moments introduced in the axial and angular modes by the inclusion of eccentricity in the analysis. The rotor dynamic coefficients relating the forces and moments in these modes to the axial and angular deflection are...
