Failure analysis of shear critical RC structural members
Sarıtaş, Afşin (2004-06-01)
This paper presents a beam finite element for the simulation of the monotonic and cyclic response of RC structural members under the interaction of flexure, axial force and shear. The proposed beam element follows the assumptions of the Timoshenko shear beam theory with a three-field Hu-Washizu variational formulation for the derivation of the element response. The nonlinear response of the element is obtained through section integration of nonlinear material response. A 3d plastic damage model for cyclic a...
Failure modes and criticality analysis of the preliminary design phase of the Mars Desert Research Station considering human factors
Oğuz, Elif; Clelland, David (Elsevier BV, 2018-10-01)
This work presents an extension to the traditional FMECA (Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis) method to include the effects of human factors concerning accessibility/repairability, probability of contact and degree of contact. The authors refer to this extension to the traditional FMECA as the Human Design Approach (HDA). All data used in this study was collected during the stay of two of the authors at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in the Utah desert, USA. The MDRS is a laboratory fo...
FAILURE CHARACTERIZATION OF ROCK ANCHOR BOLTS BY THERMAL CHANGE DETECTION UNDER TENSILE STRENGTH TESTING
Erkayaoğlu, Mustafa; Kırmacı, Alper (2019-09-01)
Rock bolts are widely used in tunnels, underground openings, and also rock slopes to provide support and attach blocks to therock mass in various engineering fields. They have a significant role for the stability of underground structures and natural rock slopes bothin the mining and civil engineering industry. The understanding of the rock bolt behavior under stress conditions plays a key role in the longterm stability and sustainability of rock slopes, nearby structures, and underground openings. The dete...
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...
Failure analysis of advanced composites under impact by cohesive zone method
Doğan, Oğuz; Parnas, Kemal Levend; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
The main objective of this study is to investigate the delamination damage of laminated composites subjected to low velocity impact. Three-dimensional finite element analyses are conducted to determine delamination area, shape and location. The impact analysis is performed by using the explicit finite element method which uses the central difference rule to integrate the equations of motion through the time. The composite structures are modeled using eight-node solid elements. The critical interfaces betwee...
