Stability Functions for Three‐Dimensional Beam‐Columns

TL;DR: The analysis of a beam-column using stability functions as an alternative to the stress stiffness matrix is discussed in this article, in terms of member length, cross-sectional properties, axial force, and the end moments.

Experimental Testing of a Moving Force Identification Bridge Weigh-in-Motion Algorithm

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the experimental testing of an algorithm based on moving force identification theory, where the bridge is dynamically modeled using the finite element method and an eigenvalue reduction technique is employed to reduce the dimension of the system.

Block-diagonal equations for multibody elastodynamics with geometric stiffness and constraints

TL;DR: In this paper, a block-diagonal matrix formulation of the equations of motion of a system of hinge-connected flexible bodies undergoing large rotation and translation together with small elastic vibration is presented.

Comparison of Three-Dimensional Flexible Beam Elements for Dynamic Analysis: Finite Element Method and Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared three formulations for a flexible spatial beam element for dynamic analysis: a finite element method (FEM) formulation, an absolute nodal coordinate (ANC) formulation with a continuum mechanics approach and an ANC formulation with an elastic line concept where the shear locking of the asymmetric bending mode is suppressed by the application of the Hellinger-Reissner principle.

Effect of semi-rigid connections on steel column strength

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of all available experimental data relating to the moment versus in-plane rotational behaviour of beam-to-column connection types as used in steel frames is made.
