Abstract: Slender long-span bridges exhibit unique features which are not present in short and medium-span bridges such as higher traffic volume, simultaneous presence of multiple vehicles, and sensitivity to wind load. For typical ...

Abstract: An incremental plasticity model is proposed based on the von-Mises yield condition, associated flow rule, and nonlinear kinematic hardening rule. In the present model, fatigue life prediction ...

Abstract: Transverse bending vibrations of a rotating twisted beam subjected to an axial load and spinning about its axial axis are established by using the Timoshenko beam theory and applying Hamilton’s ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional penny-shaped crack under combined tensile and shear loadings is analyzed. The assumptions of Dugdale are applied to estimate the effects of plasticity around the edge of the ...

Abstract: In the current AASHTO LRFD specifications, the fatigue design considers only one design truck per bridge with 15% dynamic allowance. While this empirical approach may be practical for regular short and medium span bridges, ...

Abstract: A review of various analytical methods and experimental results of supersonic and hypersonic panel flutter is presented. The analytical methods are categorized into two main methods. The first ...

Abstract: We present an extensive comparative study based on patient-specific fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling of cerebral aneurysms. We consider a total of ten cases, at three different locations, ...

Abstract: A general kinematically admissible velocity field has been proposed in this work to examine the plastic deformation behavior of the sheet at the roll gap during shape rolling of a V-sectioned ...
