TL;DR: In this article, the seismic response of moment resisting (MR) steel frames enhanced with low-yield steel shear panels is analyzed. And the authors present a parametric analysis of the structural properties of these panels, namely strength, stiffness, ductility and hysteretic behaviour, aiming at determining those factors having the major impact on the seismic responses of the frame.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite element method simulation carried out with the non-linear code ABAQUS has been used to evaluate the behaviour of T-stub joints in aluminum alloy T-bones.

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of applying the finite element method as a tool for cross-sectional classification for structural codes is investigated, using a numerical model of rotational capacit...

TL;DR: In this article, the rotational capacity of aluminum alloy members is evaluated using a parametric analysis based on the use of a FEM code ABAQUS/Standard, focusing on the influence of the flange slenderness, the strain hardening of the material, the shape factor of the section, the web stiffness and member compactness.

TL;DR: In this paper, a wide experimental and numerical study has been undertaken at the University of Naples in order to investigate the behaviour of aluminium alloy stiffened shear panels for passive seismic protection of framed buildings.
