Analysis of RC walls with a mixed formulation frame finite element

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 damage model is implemented to describe the hysteretic behavior of concrete. Comparisons with available experimental data on RC structural walls confirm the accuracy of proposed method.

Modeling of the nonlinear behavior of steel framed structures with semi rigid connections
Sarıtaş, Afşin; Özel, Halil Fırat (null; 2015-07-21)
A mixed formulation frame finite element with internal semi-rigid connections is presented for the nonlinear analysis of steel structures. Proposed element provides accurate responses for spread of inelasticity along element length by monitoring the nonlinear responses of several crosssections, where spread of inelasticity over each section is captured with fiber discretization. Each material point on the section considers inelastic coupling between normal stress and shear stress. The formulation of the ele...
Questioning Degree of Accuracy Offered by the Spectral Element Method in Computational Electromagnetics
Mahariq, I.; KURT, HAMZA; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2015-07-01)
In this paper, a comparison amongst the spectral element method (SEM), the finite difference method (FDM), and the first-order finite element method (FEM) is presented. For the sake of consistency, the comparison is carried out on one-dimensional and two-dimensional boundary value problems based on the same measure of error in order to emphasize on the high accuracy gained by the SEM. Then, the deterioration in the accuracy of the SEM due to the elemental deformation is demonstrated. Following this, we try ...
Inelastic axial-flexure-shear coupling in a mixed formulation beam finite element
Sarıtaş, Afşin (2009-10-01)
In this paper a beam element that accounts for inelastic axial-flexure-shear coupling is presented. The mathematical model is derived from a three-field variational form. The finite element approximation for the beam uses shape functions for section forces that satisfy equilibrium and discontinuous section deformations along the beam. No approximation for the beam displacement field is necessary in the formulation. The coupling of the section forces is achieved through the numerical integration of an inelas...
Analysis of thermomechanical cyclic behavior of unidirectional metal matrix composites
Çöker, Demirkan; Nicholas, Theodore (1993-01-01)
An analytical tool is developed to determine the three-dimensional stress state in a unidirectional composite subjected to axial loading and changes in temperature. A finite difference method is used to analyze a representative volume element of the composite which consists of concentric cylinders. The constituents are assumed to be elastic-plastic materials having temperature dependent properties. An iterative technique using the Prandtl-Reuss flow rule to determine incremental plastic strains is implement...
Analytical solution for single phase microtube heat transfer including axial conduction and viscous dissipation
Barışık, Murat; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008)
Heat transfer of two-dimensional, hydrodynamically developed, thermally developing, single phase, laminar flow inside a microtube is studied analytically with constant wall temperature thermal boundary condition. The flow is assumed to be incompressible and thermo-physical properties of the fluid are assumed to be constant. Viscous dissipation and the axial conduction are included in the analysis. Rarefaction effect is imposed to the problem via velocity slip and temperature jump boundary conditions for the...
