Incremental dynamic analysis constitutes the basis of seismic performance evaluation and vulnerability assessment. In this paper, a typical two-story three-span subway station structure is selected as an example its incremental procedure are presented, including selection ground motion, intensity measure limit state determination. The provided in study can be for further on design underground s...

Placing column lap-splice in the locations of possible nonlinear deformation may adversely affect the structures response to strong ground motions. Localization of damage in splice zone may change the structural response and prevent the load redistribution and development of a uniform pattern of nonlinear excursions among the various members. Validated by existing laboratory experiments, this s...

This paper studies the nonlinear vibration analysis of a simply supported Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation under compressive axial load using nonlinear normal modes concept in the case of three-to-one (3:1) internal resonance. The beam’s governing nonlinear PDE of motion and also its boundary conditions are derived and then solved using the method of Multiple Time ...

Abstract Earthquake is a natural disaster that can induce immense damage to properties and human lives. Fragility curve, defined as the probability of reaching or exceeding specific state under an earthquake excitation, provides prediction may occur during earthquake. Incremental Dynamic Analysis Curve (IDA curve) developed from analysis be considered initial step fragility curve development. T...

Proximal SVM (PSVM), which is a variation of standard SVM, leads to an extremely faster and simpler algorithm for generating a linear or nonlinear classifier than classical SVM. An efficient incremental method for linear PSVM classifier has been introduced, but it can’t apply to nonlinear PSVM and incremental technique is the base of online learning and large data set training. In this paper we...

In this paper, the nonlinear vibration analysis of a thin cylindrical shell made of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) resting on a nonlinear viscoelastic foundation under compressive axial and lateral loads is studied. Nonlinear governing coupled partial differential equations of motions (PDEs) for cylindrical shell are derived using improved Donnell shell theory. The equations of motions (EOM...

efficiency of numerical methods is an important problem in dynamic nonlinear analyses. it is possible to use of numerical methods such as beta-newmark in order to investigate the structural response behavior of the dynamic systems under random sea wave loads but because of necessity to analysis the offshore systems for extensive time to fatigue study it is important to use of simple stable meth...
