Abstract: The large deflection elastic-plastic bending of a circular plate subjected to radially outward acting bending moments uniformly distributed around its circumference is analyzed, and computer programs ...

Abstract: To simulate the response of a pin-ended elastic-plastic beam, a nonlinear structural model, i.e., a double-tier-spring model is analyzed to follow its deformation process after it is subjected ...

Abstract: The World Trade Center collapse has brought attention to progressive collapse of tall buildings and the study of possible countermeasures. From the viewpoint of energy transfer, this analysis explains why the collapse could ...

Abstract: The possibility of promoting out-of-plane elastic buckling in thin disk rotary forming and in ring rolling, by the application of load through forming tools applied over a small sectional element ...

Abstract: In a particular example of short pulse loading on a pin-ended beam, the permanent deflection is predicted by a numerical solution to be in the direction opposite that of the load. Analysis ...

Abstract: Reliability-based analysis of the calibration of pullout resistance factors (φPO) for soil nails are presented in this paper. To conduct the calibration, a total of 47 verification tests conducted in cohesive soil within ...

Abstract: Reliability-based analysis of the calibration of pullout resistance factors (

Abstract: A general infiltration model is derived using a systems approach. The models of Horton, Kostiakov, Overton, Green and Ampt, and Philip are some of the example models that are shown as special cases of the general model. ...

Abstract: An analytical model is developed to simulate all phases of furrow irrigation. The model transforms any real furrow cross section shape to a discharge‐equivalent semicircular shape, and can therefore be applied to any form ...
