the effect of welding residual stresses that was created in thin infill plate of steel plate shear wall system during constructional processes was studied in this research. residual stresses in a welded structure is the result of the non-uniform expansion and contraction and plastic deformation of the weld and surrounding base metal due to heating and cooling cycle, during welding process, this...

the steel shear wall and composite steel plate shear wall is introduced in recent three decade and is considered and is spread rapidly. composite steel plate shear wall which is made of a layer of thin steel sheet with coating of reinforced concrete in one or both sides of steel palate is considered a third generation of resistance shear walls against lateral loads that in addition to increasin...

We examine the elastic shear waves generated in a thin pre-stressed elastomer layer that is sandwiched between two relatively thick steel plates and is subjected to an elastic shear wave traveling in one of the steel plates. The elastomer layer has been deformed in uni-axial strain in advance, producing in the layer very large axial and lateral compressive stresses of the order of its bulk modu...

The objective of this paper is to explore the potential strength and serviceability implications of metallic foams, specifically steel foam, utilized as a thin-walled channel structural member. A typical advantage sought in the selection of a thin-walled member is minimal weight. However, the stability of the thin walls and the related limit states constrains the extent to which weight minimiza...

Spring constant calibration of the atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever is of fundamental importance for quantifying the force between the AFM cantilever tip and the sample. The calibration within the framework of thin plate theory undoubtedly has a higher accuracy and broader scope than that within the well-established beam theory. However, thin plate theory-based accurate analytic determi...

Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) is made from thin steel plate which in turn are framed by the beams and columns of structural system. In recent year they are proved to be very effective and economical for resisting lateral loads such as earthquake and wind loads.The present work targets to study the behaviour of single frame SPSW with different plate thicknesses, rigid and non-rigid frame members...

Through the sound spectrum analysis, this paper indicates that the noise peak frequency comes from mechanical shock, investigating the frequencies of noise sources, the noise peak frequency is found --the impact pairs of the valve plate and the spring~ The cause to raise the noise is on the phenomenon detachment between the valve plate and the spring. For this reason the valve plate produces hi...
