Abstract: In this paper, a set of simple formulations is derived to predict the instability critical loads of orthotropic composite tubes under pure bending. The formulations are based on the assumption that the instability of an ...

Abstract: The adaptive finite element method (FEM) was developed in the early 1980s. The basic concept of adaptivity developed in the FEM is that, when a physical problem is analyzed using finite ...

Abstract: It is well known that concrete will fail in the form of cracking or crushing for the uniaxial tension or compression. However, it would be difficult to classify and define precisely the failure form for the multiaxial ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical study of the transverse vibration of sandwich beams considering the thermal-induced nonuniform cross-sectional properties. Free vibration frequency formulas of sandwich beams, under linearly ...

Abstract: An analytical model is developed for analysing the elastic lateral-torsion buckling of cold-formed zed-purlins with partially lateral restraint from metal sheeting. The model is used to estimate ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation on the performance of RC columns with corroded reinforcing steel bars. The corrosion of steel bars was induced by using a combined electrochemical process and wet-dry cycles. ...
