In cylindrical silos, the presence of discrete supports results in a non-uniformity of meridional stresses around the circumference. In larger silos, a sizeable ring beam is normally used, resting on discrete column supports beneath the cylindrical shell to redistribute the majority of the discrete forces from the column supports into a more uniform stress state in the cylindrical wall. Although there is a complex interaction between cylinders and supporting ring beam, EN 1993-4-1 provides the bending and torsional moment equations produced in the isolated ring beam under uniform transverse loading by assuming that the meridional stress distribution in the shell is circumferentially uniform. In this study, these equations given EN1993-4-1 for the design of the ring beam are re-derived using Vlasov’s curved beam theory. Then, the shear force equation in the transverse direction for the ring beam is derived using the equilibrium equations. Moreover, the transverse displacement of the ring beam is obtained from the global forcedeformation relationships. These closed-form equations are verified by complementary finite element analyses for practical design applications.

Analysis of near field sound radiation from a resonant unbaffled plate using simplified analytical models Inalpolat, Murat; Çalışkan, Mehmet; Singh, Rajendra (Institute of Noise Control Engineering (INCE), 2010-03-01) Near field radiation behavior of an unbaffled square plate with free edges, which is excited by a harmonic force at its midpoint, is analytically, computationally and experimentally studied. Emphasis is on the applicability of simplified analytical models to predict the near field sound pressures and spatially-averaged surface and acoustic intensities. First, the plate is computationally discretized into equal segments that are replaced by simple, phase-correlated discrete acoustic sources. Piston radiator ...
Analysis of silo supporting ring beams resting on discrete supports Zeybek, Ozer; Topkaya, Cem; Rotter, J. Michael (Elsevier BV, 2019-02-01) Elevated cylindrical metal silos are often supported on a ring beam which rests on discrete column supports. The ring beam plays an important role in redistributing the majority of the discrete forces from the column supports into a more uniform stress state in the cylindrical wall, which is necessary to reduce the potential for buckling of the shell wall.
Analysis of thin walled open section tapered beams using hybrid stress finite element method Akman, Mehmet Nazım; Oral, Süha; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) In this thesis, hybrid stress finite element is formulated for the analysis of the isotropic, thin walled, open section beams with variable cross sections. The beam element has two nodes each having seven degrees of freedom. Assumption of stress field is sufficient to determine the element stiffness matrix. Axial, flexural and torsional effects are taken into account in the analysis. The methodology can be applied both to the tapered and the uniform beams. Throughout this study, firstly element cross-sectio...
Analysis of various microstrip printed geometries using closed-form green’s functions Ülkü, İrem; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) In general, current distributions for different microstrip structures such as Single Microstrip Line (SML), Coupled Microstrip Line (CML) and Microstrip Patch Antenna (MPA) are obtained by using Method of Moments (MoM) in conjuction with closed-form spatial domain Green’s functions. Specifically, MPA is designed to obtain a Wideband Microstrip Patch Antenna (WMPA). The current distribution is acquired by the same analysis and bandwidth is obtained from the return loss graph for this WMPA. Standard MPA and W...
EXTENSION OF THE RESIDUAL VARIABLE METHOD TO PROPAGATION PROBLEMS AND ITS APPLICATION TO THE WAVE-EQUATION IN CYLINDRICAL COORDINATES AKKAS, N; Tokdemir, Turgut (Elsevier BV, 1992-08-03) Consider a partial differential equation with cylindrical coordinates describing a dynamic process in an infinite medium with an inner cylindrical boundary. If an analytical solution to the problem is not possible, then one resorts to numerical techniques. In this case it becomes necessary to discretize the infinite domain even if the solution is required on the inner cylindrical surface or at a limited number of points in the domain only. The residual variable method (RVM) circumvents the difficulty associ...
