The purpose of this study is to develop a nonlinear fiber-based finite element model of steel-concrete composite beams. The model was developed in OpenSees utilizing the available finite element formulations and the readily available uniaxial material constitutive relations. The model employed beam elements for the steel beam and the concrete slab, while zero-length connector elements were used for the steel-concrete interface. The channel shear connector response used in numerical models was based on the previously obtained experimental response from pushout tests. Accuracy of the numerical models in predicting the response of composite beams with varying degree of composite action was verified with the results of the previously conducted composite beam tests. The response of composite beams was studied in terms of moment capacity, stiffness, cross-sectional strains, and interface slip. The slip behavior through the beam length was also verified with the analytical solutions in the literature. Progression of damage due to cracking and crushing of concrete slab as well as tension and compression yielding of steel beam was studied in relation to the degree of composite action present. The numerically predicted response agreed well with the experimental results over the entire range of load-deflection curves for both the fully composite and partially composite beams. The numerical models were also able to accurately predict the interface slip between the steel beam and the concrete slab when compared to the experimentally determined slip values, as well as the closed-form slip predictions. Concrete cracking in slab was observed to start at very early stages of loading and progress very quickly irrespective of the degree of composite action. Concrete cracking was followed by the initiation of yielding at the bottom part of the steel beam. Yielding in the lower parts of the steel beam was observed to be more extensive in models with full composite action compared to the partially composite beams. The point that the initial portion of the load-deflection curve of composite beams deviates from linear response corresponded to the yielding of the entire bottom flange of steel beam.

Nonlinear vibrations of curved single and doublewalled carbon nanotubes /
Samandari, Hamed; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, effects of Geometric, initial curvature, and van der Waals (vdW) interlayer force nonlinearities on the variation of nonlinear natural frequency of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are investigated in detail throughout several case studies. Galerkin method with a single trial function, which is the eigenfunction of the linear system, is widely used in literature in studying nonlinear vibrations of CNTs. However, eigenfunctions of the nonlinear systems can be significantly different than the eigenfunc...
Failure analysis of tapered composite structures under tensile loading
Çelik, Ozan; Parnas, Kemal Levend; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
A three dimensional finite element modeling approach is used to evaluate the effects of preliminary design variables on the performance of tapered composite laminates under tensile loading. Hashin failure criteria combined with a progressive failure algorithm is used for in-plane failure mechanisms and cohesive zone method is used for out-of-plane failures. The modeling approach is validated by a comparison with experimental results from literature. The validated model is used to examine various design vari...
Nonlinear Fiber Modeling of Steel-Concrete Partially Composite Beams with Channel Connectors
Ozturk, Alper; Baran, Eray; Tort, Cenk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05-01)
A simplified nonlinear fiber-based finite element model of steel-concrete partially composite beams utilizing channel type mechanical shear connectors is developed in OpenSees framework. The interaction between steel beam and concrete slab is accounted for by introducing nonlinear zero length elements and rigid links. The channel shear connector response used in numerical models is based on the previously obtained experimental response from pushout tests. Accuracy of the numerical models in predicting the r...
Analysis of RC walls with a mixed formulation frame finite element
Sarıtaş, Afşin (2013-10-01)
This paper presents a mixed formulation frame element with the assumptions of the Timoshenko shear beam theory for displacement field and that accounts for interaction between shear and normal stress at material level. Nonlinear response of the element is obtained by integration of section response, which in turn is obtained by integration of material response. Satisfaction of transverse equilibrium equations at section includes the interaction between concrete and transverse reinforcing steel. A 3d plastic...
A Three dimensional mixed formulation nonlinear frame finite element based on hu-washizu functional
Soydaş, Ozan; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2013)
A three dimensional nonlinear frame finite element is presented in this analytical study by utilizing Hu-Washizu principle with three fields of displacement, strain and stress in the variational form. Timoshenko beam theory is extended to three dimensions in order to derive strains from the displacement field. The finite element approximation for the beam uses shape functions for section forces that satisfy equilibrium and discontinous section deformations along the beam. Nonlinear analyses are performed by...
