Abstract: Shape design sensitivity analysis (DSA) and optimization methods for the fatigue life of thermoelastic structural components are presented in this paper. A multiaxial fatigue life prediction method ...

Abstract: This paper presents a sizing optimization of a hemispherical shell with a nonradial penetrated nozzle, under internal pressure loading. The objective of the optimization is to decrease the stress ...

Abstract: Concrete-filled tubes (CFTs) are columns commonly used in high-rise building construction due to their structural effectiveness. Past studies on CFT have focused primarily on uniaxial compression, bending, and eccentric ...
