Abstract: The theory of a rough crack model for nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete is presented. The model accounts for shear dilation, degradation under cyclic loading, and other effects. The smeared crack ...

Abstract: The transverse impact of a uniformly translating beam hitting a fixed-fixed column is investigated. Although in-air impact is considered, the study is motivated by water-driven woody debris during flood, storm surge, and ...

Abstract: A new approach to the analysis of the wave‐induced, hydroelastic response of floating, slender structures is developed that combines a three‐dimensional structural model with fluid forces from two‐dimensional potential ...
