Abstract: The dynamic response of flexible beams, plates, and solids undergoing arbitrary spatial motions are systematically derived via a proposed approach. This formulation is capable of incorporating ...

Abstract: A comprehensive finite element model is presented for the combined material and geometric nonlinear analysis of slender unreinforced masonry walls, with the capability of capturing postcracking and postbuckling behavior. ...

Abstract: Spandrel beams in precast concrete buildings are widely used to support double-tee deck beams, particularly in parking garages. Spandrel beams of deep cross-sections, resisting eccentric loads from double-tee beams, can ...
