Abstract: This paper presents a new problem in linear viscoelastic structural analysis. Homogeneous structures with rigid restraints, where stress relaxation is prevented at a time after loading, are studied. This restriction produces ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for the viscoelastic analysis of composite steel‐concrete beams with flexible shear connectors. In particular, the proposed method evaluates the effects of the connection device's deformability ...

Abstract: In this first part of the paper, the viscoelastic analysis of composite steel‐concrete continuous beams with flexible shear connectors is performed. The method proposed evaluates the stress redistribution between the ...

Abstract: By using the numerical algorithm proposed in part 1, a parametric analysis was performed in this second part of the paper in order to determine the time‐dependent behavior of continuous composite beams subjected to static ...

Abstract: The frictionless unilateral contact problem of a viscoelastic Bernoulli–Euler beam resting on a viscoelastic soil is studied. The mathematical formulation involves equilibrium equations, compatibility equations, and ...

Abstract: The paper presents some approximate solutions for the time‐dependent analysis of composite steel‐concrete beams with flexible shear connectors. These permit evaluating the migration of the stresses from the concrete slab ...
