Structural reliability analysis with imprecise random and interval fields

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the issue of reliability assessment for engineering structures involving mixture of stochastic and non-stochastic uncertain parameters through the Finite Element Method (FEM).

Natural vibrations of rectangular plates with a through crack

TL;DR: In this article, a finite element model of the rectangular plate with a through crack is presented, and the effects of the crack location and its length on the changes of the eigenfrequencies of the simply supported and cantilever plate are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonlinear temperature effects on multilayered concrete pavements

TL;DR: In this paper, a plate consisting of one or more layers, resting on a general elastic foundation, is subjected to a nonlinear through-the-thickness temperature distribution, together with arbitrary wheel loads.

Curved beam element stiffness matrix formulation

TL;DR: A program subroutine for the stiffness matrix formulation of curved beams has been written in FORTRAN which can be added to the element library of general purpose computer programs like SAP-IV and its improved versions as discussed by the authors.

Dynamic analysis of sandwich beams

TL;DR: In this article, a finite element analysis with respect to the effect of transverse shear deformation for honeycomb sandwich beams is described. The analysis presented is quite general in the sense that flexural modes, in-plane and shearing motion can be readily obtained.
