Abstract: The quantification of damping in a structure is of significant interest in structural dynamics. At present, there is still no clear consensus on how damping issues are resolved. Although the Rayleigh damping model, which ...

Abstract: Carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) is very suitable for use as a prestressed cable and can replace conventional steel cables in cable roofs. In engineering practice, the anchoring length increases rapidly as the ...

Abstract: Material parameters in the Gurson, Tvergaard and Needleman (GTN) model were calibrated for G20Mn5QT cast steels based on tests of tension coupons and smooth notched tensile specimens, and complementary FEA. The mesh ...

Abstract: Corrosion fatigue experiments were conducted on a welded connection constructed of G20Mn5QT cast steel in 3.5% by weight NaCl solution. The corrosion fatigue fracture mechanism of the welded connection was determined. ...

Abstract: A full-scale experimental study was carried out on a two-story steel frame to investigate the progressive collapse behavior of beam–column joints with cast steel stiffeners (CSS). The frame was divided into four vertical ...

Abstract: Micromechanical fracture models, void growth model (VGM) and stress-modified critical strain (SMCS) model, can predict the ductile fracture of structural steels by investigating the growth of microvoids existing inside ...
