Abstract: Reducedorder models for characterizing friction interfaces have been investigated for the last 75 years. Recent work has been focused on microslip formulations of the interface behavior, where a continuous interface is ...

Abstract: The work reported in this paper is part of an ongoing numerical investigation aimed at (1) assessing the buckling, postbuckling, strength, and collapse behavior of cold-formed steel continuous beams and simple frames and ...

Abstract: The knowledge of the distribution function of concentration fluctuations in a turbulent medium is very important and relevant to problems, like hazard estimation, smoke obscuration, and combustion problems. In the present ...

Abstract: This paper reports a detailed investigation concerning the local-plate and distortional elastic postbuckling behaviors of cold-formed steel lipped channel columns with web and flange intermediate stiffeners (the corresponding ...

Abstract: This paper presents the incorporation of shear deformation effects into a generalized beam theory (GBT) formulation developed to analyze the first-order (linear) and buckling behavior of composite thin-walled members made ...

Abstract: This paper presents the formulation of a generalized beam theory (GBT) to analyze the vibration behavior of composite thin-walled prismatic members displaying straight axis, open-section, and arbitrary orthotropy. It ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes recent findings concerning the elastic bifurcation and postbuckling behaviors of thin-walled regular convex polygonal tubes subjected to uniform compression. Such cross sections exhibit rotational ...

Abstract: Design for additive manufacturing (DFAM) gives designers new freedoms to create complex geometries and combine parts into one. However, it has its own limitations, and more importantly, requires a shift in thinking from ...
