The present paper analyzes the vibration issue of thin-walled beams under combined initial axial load and end moment in two cases with different boundary conditions, specifically the simply supported-end and the laterally fixed-end boundary conditions. The analytical expressions for the first natural frequencies of thin-walled beams were derived by two methods that are a method based on the existence of the roots theorem of differential equation systems and the Rayleigh method. In particular, the stability boundary of a beam can be determined directly from its first natural frequency expression. The analytical results are in good agreement with those from the finite element analysis software ANSYS Mechanical APDL. The research results obtained here are useful for those creating tooth blade designs of innovative frame saw machines.

One steel grid and five thin-walled concrete-filled steel tubes (CTST) used as the supports of tunnel were tested in site for investigating the mechanical behavior. The mechanical influences of thickness, node form, and concrete on CTST were gained and compared with the impacts on steel grid. It is indicated that high antideformation capacity of CTST improved the stability of surrounding rock in short time. The cementitious grouted sleeve connection exhibited superior flexibility when CTST was erected and built. Although the deformation of rock and soil in the tunnel was increasing, good compression resistance was observed by CTST with the new connection type. It was also seen that vault, tube foot, and connections were with larger absolute strain values. The finite element analysis (FEA) was carried out using ABAQUS program. The results were validated by comparison with experimental results. The FE model could be referred by similar projects.

Problems regarding the combined axial force and bending moment for the behaviour of semi-rigid steel joints under service loading have been recognized in recent studies. As an extended research on the cyclic behaviour of a bolted endplate joint, this study is performed relating to the contribution of column axial force on the cyclic behaviour of the joint. Using finite element analysis, the deteriorations of the joint performance have been evaluated. The preliminary parametric study of the joint is conducted with the consideration of flexibility of the column flange. The column axial force was observed to significantly influence the joint behaviour when the bending of the column flange dominates the failure modes. The reductions of moment resistance predicted by numerical analysis have been compared with codified suggestions. Comments have been made for further consideration of the influence of column axial load in seismic design of bolted endplate joints.

Axial stiffness is the most important factor in stability. It is known that any changes in the diameter of any components of the frame will either increase or decrease the axial stiffness of the fixation. The model of implant and bone will be variety as the variables changes. Current studies states that ring stability are one of the most important factors in ensuring fractured bones to have a successful re-union. In circular external fixation, the stability of the pin-bone interaction is influenced by the stability of the fixation frame where the major component is the rings. The objective is to study the finite element analysis (FEA) of the external fixator assembled in human diaphysis under compression force with different materials of the exoskeleton which are stainless steel, titanium alloy, magnesium alloy and carbon fiber. The results obtained show the mechanical strength of each material where it will be used to compare the value of von-Mises stress, stiffness and total deformation to acquire the best suitable ring diameter and material. Based on the result, as the diameter of the ring increases, the stiffness of the ring will be decreased.

The Finite Element Analysis

This paper aims at presenting and discussing the numerical studies performed to estimate the mechanical and thermal behavior of RC flat slabs at elevated temperature and fire. The numerical analysis is carried out using finite element programs by developing models to simulate the performance of the buildings subjected to fire. The mechanical and thermal properties of the materials obtained from the experimental work are involved in the modeling that the outcomes will be more realistic. Many parameters related to fire resistance of the flat slabs have been studied and the finite element analysis results reveal that the width and thickness of the slab, the temperature gradient, the fire direction, the exposure duration and the thermal restraint are important factors that influence the vertical deflection, bending moment and force membrane of the flat slabs exposed to fire. However, the validation of the models is verified by comparing their results to the available experimental date. The finite element modeling contributes in saving cost and time consumed by experiments.

This paper studies the critical issue of thin-walled beams with laterally fixed ends. The method for defining the formulae of twist moment for the beams subjected to combined loads was elucidated. Based on this, the governing differential equations of the beam were developed. The procedure for determining the critical state of the beam by the energy method was presented. With this procedure, the critical state of the beam concerned under three types of loadings such as axial force [Formula: see text], bending moment [Formula: see text] and distributed load [Formula: see text] (or concentrated load [Formula: see text]) was examined deliberately. The outcomes were presented in explicit closed-form, which can be illustrated in 2D and 3D graphs. Also, the analytical solution obtained was in agreement with the numerical one obtained by the commercial software NX Nastran. Furthermore, the analytical solutions were applied straightforwardly to explore the stability and design optimization of the tooth-blade for the new frame-type saw machine under an eccentric load. The result can also be promisingly used to study problems of thin-walled beams with laterally fixed ends subjected to other types of loads.

Theoretical Analyses

Most existing research on the stability of spudcans during reinstallation nearing footprints is based on centrifuge tests and theoretical analyses. In this study, the reinstallation of the flat base footing, fusimform spudcan footing and skirted footing near existing footprints are simulated using the coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian (CEL) method. The effects of footprints’ geometry, reinstallation eccentricity (0.25D–2.0D) and the roughness between spudcan and soil on the profiles of the vertical force, horizontal force and bending moment are discussed. The results show that the friction condition of the soil–footing interface has a significant effect on H profile but much less effect on M profile. The eccentricity ratio is a key factor to evaluate the H and M. The results show that the geometry shape of the footing also has certain effects on the V, H, and M profiles. The flat base footing gives the lowest peak value in H but largest in M, and the performances of the fusiform spudcan footing and the skirted footing are similar. From the view of the resultant forces, the skirted footing shows a certain potential in resisting the damage during reinstallation near existing footprints by comparing with commonly used fusiform spudcan footings. The bending moments on the leg–hull connection section of different leg length at certain offset distances are discussed.

Common Defect

As the thin-walled structure,the buckling of steel silos is very sensitive to the initial geometric imperfections. However, these imperfections are uncertain to the shape and amplitude, so the studies of the initial geometric imperfections have important practical significance. Over the years, the circumferential imperfections have been known to result in the most important influence on the buckling of steel silos, which is also the most common defect in practical engineering. Using the existing research results, this paper analyzes three different imperfection shape functions and compare to the result of experiment in order to identify a function for the finite element analysis.

Structural Interface

Variational theorems are presented for analyzing the vibrational response of flexible linkage mechanisms and the surrounding acoustic medium in which they are immersed. These theorems are established by generalizing Hamilton’s principle through using Lagrange multipliers to incorporate field equations and boundary conditions within the functional. The same philosophy is adopted to handle the conditions at the fluid-structural interface. When independent arbitrary variations of the system parameters are permitted, these acousto-elastodynamic theorems yield as characteristic equations the equation of motion for each member of the linkage, the acoustical wave equation, the compatibility conditions at the interface between the fluid and solid continua, and also the boundary conditions. These variational statements provide the foundations for several different classes of finite element analysis.
