Abstract: In practice, engineers can usually only obtain material properties from monotonic tensile coupon tests. The aim of this paper is to predict cyclic plasticity of mild steel from coupon test results available. First, the ...

Abstract: This paper aims to predict ductile fracture of mild steel under monotonic loading only from the test results of notchless tensile coupons. A simple fracture model based on the concept of a damage index with only one model ...

Abstract: Previous studies have proposed a cyclic ductile fracture model by applying the void growth model and an established rule in incremental form, in which only a monotonic tensile coupon test is required to calibrate the ...

Abstract: This study proposes a vibration control system consisting of a swing story subsystem, a lateral force resisting subsystem, and connecting dampers. The swing story subsystem comprising hinged columns connected to continuous ...

Abstract: Ductile fracture of steel structural members under combined shear and tension was observed in past strong earthquakes, but studies on ductile fracture under the combined stress state have been very limited in the field of ...

Abstract: This paper aims to study the effect of initial void shape on void growth of structural steels, which is a critical stage for ductile fracture of steel. Typical void shapes of structural steels were characterized by an in ...

Abstract: An innovative articulated steel frame system consisting of continuous beams, columns, and end plates with gap bolts is proposed in this study. The gap bolts are untightened with initial gaps and used to connect beam flanges ...
