The evaluations have shown that Mechanix is as effective as paper-and-pencil-based homework for teaching method of joints truss analysis; focus groups with students who used the program have revealed that they believe Mechanix enhances their learning and that they are highly engaged while using it...
Those elements are made into a functional structure subsystem when joined together through bolts, rivets, adhesions, and other mechanical joints including hinges and bearings. The structural elements are sized so that the mass is minimized while the stress is within the allowable limit of the ...
However, some pillars protruding from the joints would hinder the rotation of some bars, so the plate employs bypassing designs, as shown in Fig. 2b, where a cantilever component is attached to the moving plate to bypass the moving trajectory of bars. Another method to avoid self-contact ...
The Steel Joints add-on for RFEM allows you to analyze steel connections using an FE model. The FE model is generated automatically in the background and can be controlled via the simple and familiar input of components. Price of First License2,350.00 EUR ...
However, there exist the following disadvantages in this method: 1) The detailed material elasticity and inertial parameters are needed to precisely construct modal shapes; 2) This method is difficulty to tackle with geometrically nonlinear problems. For example, the flexible truss of the aircraft ...
A method of automatically placing pucks on a truss assembly table includes the steps of receiving input regarding the truss assembly table and a truss to be assembled on the truss assembly table, and
Our study starts with the calculation of wave loads acting on the vessel using the equivalent design wave method. Subsequently, it delves into the analysis of structural characteristics and stress distribution of the truss-floating aquaculture vessel, upon which structural optimization is performed. To...
The tightly spliced truss-reinforced plate-honeycomb flat beam is a novel type of composite beam, with the advantages of high rigidity, high bearing capacity, and ease of construction. In this study, on the basis of the performance in bending tests, the numerical analysis method is used to st...
Despite the efficiency of the method proposed by the authors, its parameters adjustment and implementation in engineering practice is quite tricky. Articles [12,13] present methaheuristic algorithms for solving optimization problems of truss structures. However, there is no algorithm that could be used...
The first approach involves solving differential equations or systems derived from equilibrium conditions, compatibility requirements, and material constitutive relations, while ensuring the satisfaction of specified boundary conditions. Although effective for simple problems, this method becomes increasingly ...
