Abstract: In an attempt to trace the collapse of structures in seismic events, this paper discusses an alternative approach to the formulation and solution of the large deformation inelastic problem in planar frame structures. A ...

Abstract: The modeling of deteriorating hysteretic behavior is becoming increasingly important, especially in the context of seismic analysis and design. This paper presents the development of a versatile smooth hysteretic model ...

Abstract: Computer analysis of structures has traditionally been carried out using the displacement method combined with an incremental iterative scheme for nonlinear problems. In this paper, a Lagrangian approach is developed, which ...

Abstract: A nonlinear finite-element formulation for the static and dynamic behavior of flexible beams was developed by appropriately modifying and extending the three-dimensional (3D) finite-deformation beam model originally developed ...

Abstract: Despite rapid development in computational fluid dynamics, semiempirical analyses based on parameters identified from spring-mounted sectional models are still widely used to examine wind-induced effects on bridges. In ...

Abstract: Floating offshore wind turbines are recently being considered widely for adoption in the wind power industry, attracting interest of several researchers and calling for the development of appropriate computational models ...
