Abstract: The finite element analysis of an orthogonally stiffened annular sector plate is presented by combining the annular sector plate element and the curved beam element. The plate and the curved beam elements are the isoparametric ...

Abstract: The free‐vibration analysis of a column‐supported cooling tower with ring stiffeners has been undertaken using the finite element method. The tower has been modeled using anisoparametric quadrilateral shell of revolution ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of numerical models that investigated the seismic response of a simple two span prototype bridge system during warm and frozen temperatures. Models from both temperature conditions were ...
