VIBRATION OF MINDLIN PLATES SYMMETRICALLY COLUMN-SUPPORTED AT 4 POINTS

1993-09-17
AKSU, G
This paper deals with the free vibration characteristics of Mindlin plates that are symmetrically column-supported at four points. The finite difference technique, based on the energy approach, is used. The first lowest four natural frequency parameters are determined for various values of the finite area of the column supports. Detailed results are given for various values of relative thickness ratio and the effects of transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia are examined.

OPTIMIZATION AND SENSITIVITY OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BEAMS
ERBATUR, F; ALZAID, R; DAHMAN, NA (Elsevier BV, 1992-12-03)
This paper is concerned with the optimum design of prestressed concrete beams. Both minimum weight and minimum cost optimization formulations are given for simply supported beams having three different sections. Sensitivity of the optimum designs, with respect to various design parameters, are also discussed. The formulation is programmed for interactive use on micro-computers. An example is given and results are discussed.
CHAOTIC DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF VISCOELASTIC SHALLOW SPHERICAL-SHELLS
Karaesmen, Engin; ILERI, L; AKKAS, N (Elsevier BV, 1992-08-03)
This paper investigates the dynamic behaviour of a shallow, viscoelastic, spherical shell under a harmonic excitation. The time evolutions of the response of the corresponding nonlinear dynamical system are described by the phase portraits and the bifurcation of the parameter dependent system is studied numerically so as to identify qualitative changes in the phase portrait. The viscoelastic shell, having more than one equilibrium configuration for some problem parameters, shows periodic and/or random-like ...
Development of computational software for analysis of curved girders under construction loads
Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2003-09-01)
The analysis of horizontally curved, trapezoidal steel girders presents a variety of computational challenges. During the erection and construction stages before a concrete deck is available to form a closed section, these girders are weak in torsion and susceptible to warping. Considering the design of an entire bridge system, current design approaches favor the use of a grid analysis methodology. While the use of a grid analysis procedure offers the advantage of computational efficiency, it is unable to c...
ANTIPLANE SHEAR PROBLEM FOR LAMINATED COMPOSITES CONTAINING BROKEN STRIPS
GECIT, MR; KULUNK, FI (Elsevier BV, 1992-08-03)
This paper considers the fracture problem of a composite which consists of perfectly bonded parallel load-carrying laminates and buffer strips. It is assumed that both materials are isotropic and linearly elastic and also that the fatigue cracks may appear and spread in main laminates or in buffer strips or in both perpendicular to the interfaces. The external load is applied parallel to the crack surfaces and away from the crack region. The problem is solved for fully embedded cracks and for completely bro...
MODELING OF CONTROL FORCES FOR KINEMATICAL CONSTRAINTS IN MULTIBODY SYSTEMS DYNAMICS - A NEW APPROACH
IDER, SK (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01)
Conventionally kinematical constrains in multibody systems are treated similar to geometrical constraints and are modeled by constraint reaction forces which are perpendicular to constraint surfaces. However, in reality, one may want to achieve the desired kinematical conditions by control forces having different directions in relation to the constraint surfaces. In this paper the conventional equations of motion for multibody systems, subject to kinematical constraints, are generalized by introducing gener...
