Abstract: In this technical note, a finite-element solution of a simply supported beam with variable arc length under a point load is presented. The beam is hinged at one end and simply supported over the other end. The distance ...

Abstract: This paper presents a nonlinear static analysis of a liquid-containment toroidal shell subjected to linearly hydrostatic pressure, including the effect of constraint volume for the toroidal shell and internal compressible ...

Abstract: This paper presents two methods to find the elastica of a bar or a beam of given span length, but unknown arc length. The beam is subjected to a moment at a hinged end that can slide freely over another support. In the ...

Abstract: This paper concerned an analytical method to obtain exact solutions for displacements of submerged hemi-ellipsoidal shells. Based on the linear membrane theory, the membrane forces and strain components were defined in ...

Abstract: This research studies the potential of using disposed fly ash to add up or partially replace Portland cement Type I in ground improvement by cement column technique. The strength characteristic of cement-fly ash admixed ...

Abstract: Vibrations of horizontal, variable-arc-length beams considering the effects of large initial static sag deflections due to self weight are investigated. The variability in beam arc length arises from one end being pinned, ...
