Abstract: Engineering education has traditionally been imparted through the lecture-tutorial-laboratory paradigm. Education technology in the last few years has tried to make teaching more effective by supplementing the chalkboard ...

Abstract: The fatigue life of tubular joints with many braces, e.g., DK and DTK joints, are commonly determined by treating them as tubular joints with less braces, e.g., T/Y, K, and X joints, based ...

Abstract: A parametric stress analysis of DT/X square-to-square and square-to-round tubular joints subjected to axial loads, in-plane, and out-of-plane bending moments has been performed using the finite ...

Abstract: A parametric stress analysis of T/Y and K square-to-square and square-to-round tubular joints subjected to axial loads, in-plane and out-of-plane bending moments has been performed using the ...

Abstract: A full-scale uniplanar completely overlapped tubular K(N) joint specimen is tested to determine the hot spot strains at the joint intersections for the verification of the finite-element (FE) model. The test results reveal ...

Abstract: An investigation of the ultimate strength of tubular joints has been carried out in order to develop an analytical method that provides a rational basis for the design of tubular joints. In this paper, the ultimate strength ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to study the stress concentration factors of doubler plate reinforced tubular T joints subjected to various types of basic loading such as axial tension, axial compression, and in-plane and ...

Abstract: A Bayesian network is a probabilistic representation of the multiple cause-effect dependency relationships in a domain. It incorporates human reasoning to deal with sparse data availability and to determine the probabilities ...

Abstract: A damage model for the concrete-steel interface is proposed in this paper that can be used to represent the constitutive law of the lumped interface model. Both the normal and tangential damage factors are defined as well ...

Abstract: This paper describes a numerical method to determine the lower-bound solution of limit load of a rigid–perfectly plastic body obeying the von Mises yield criterion. The idea of this method is to construct a smoothed linear ...
