A computer method based on the classical shell and plate theories is presented for the elastic analysis of cylindrical water tanks subjected to axisymmetrical loading and post-tensioning loads. A spherical dome or circular plate roof, cylindrical container, top and bottom ring beams together with a circular plate foundation are considered as possible components of a water tank in the flexibility formulation. Classical shell, plate, and ring beam theories are used to obtain flexibility coefficients. A computer program has been developed based on this formulation and successfully used in the design of post-tensioned concrete water tanks with diameters of 80 m built in Saudi Arabia.

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...
FINITE-ELEMENT BASED RECURSIVE FORMULATION FOR REAL-TIME DYNAMIC SIMULATION OF FLEXIBLE MULTIBODY SYSTEMS IDER, SK (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01) A finite-element matrix method of the dynamical equations for constrained flexible multibody systems undergoing large rotations is presented. The algorithmic procedure is based on recursive formulation where all the kinematical expressions as well as the final governing equations of motion are in a matrix form suited for real time computation. The advantages of the method stem from the partitioning of the hybrid coordinates used in the analysis and the identification of the matrices associated with the pa...
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 ...
Guided stochastic search technique for discrete sizing optimization of steel trusses: A design-driven heuristic approach Azad, S. Kazemzadeh; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Saka, M. P. (Elsevier BV, 2014-04-01) This study presents a design-driven heuristic approach named guided stochastic search (GSS) technique for discrete sizing optimization of steel trusses. The method works on the basis of guiding the optimization process using the well-known principle of virtual work as well as the information collected during the structural analysis and design stages. The performance of the proposed technique is investigated through a benchmark truss instance as well as four real-size trusses sized for minimum weight accordi...
VIBRATION OF MINDLIN PLATES SYMMETRICALLY COLUMN-SUPPORTED AT 4 POINTS AKSU, G (Elsevier BV, 1993-09-17) 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.
