In particular the focus is on undamped single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems. The goal is to design a passive isolation system in the form of helical steel springs. The system must limit the instance of high acceleration energy transferred into the structure in a very short time frame. A...
The focus of this review is the design of axially loaded screw piles. Through a comprehensive collation of all relevant literature regarding the design of screw piles, comparisons are made and relations are drawn which will ultimately be relevant to future efforts associated with the design of scre...
Today the design of onshore axially loaded driven piles in cohesionless soil is commonly made on basis of CPT-based methods because field investigations have shown strong correlation between the local shaft friction and the CPT cone resistance. However, the recommended design m...
The design optimization of axially loaded, simply supported stiffened cylindrical shells for minimum mass is considered. The design variables are thickness of shell wall, thicknesses and depths of rings and stringers, number/spacing of rings and stringers. Natural frequency, local and overall buckling...
In this paper the main focus is set on the investigation of axially loaded cylindrical shells with large r/t ratios. In [1] the designer has the possibility of performing an assessment based on numerical analyses applying equivalent geometrical imperfections with respect to the quality class of ...
1. The first is the axially loaded column, shown in Fig. 1 (a). The load is perpendicular to the plate and through the column centroid. It is used in frames in which the column bases are assumed pinned. A layer of grout is used for leveling of the plate and setting it at the ...
The ultimate load of axially loaded concrete filled steel tube columns was investigated and design equations are proposed which are based on summing the tangent modulus buckling loads of the concrete core and the steel tube. The tangent modulus loads are calculated using the AISC code method for ...
Buckling Analysis of Axially Loaded Corrugated Cylindrical Shells Buckling analyses of heavily corrugated cylindrical shells based on detailed full finite element models are usually computationally expensive. To address this issue, we have pro- posed an efficient computational method of predicting the ......
An integrated step-by-step analysis procedure for the design of axially compressed stiffened composite panels is outlined. The analysis makes use of the effective width concept. A computer code, BUSTCOP, is developed incorporating various aspects of buckling such as skin buckling, stiffener crippling...
