  1. 1. Development and application of corotational finite elements for the analysis of steel structures in fire

    Författare :Luca Possidente; Jean-Marc Battini; Nicola Tondini; Paulo Vila Real; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermomechanical finite element; Shell element; 3D beam element; Steel structures; Buckling; Fire Safety Engineering; Structural Engineering and Bridges; Bro- och stålbyggnad;

    Sammanfattning : The ignition and the propagation of a fire inside a building may lead to global or local structural collapse, especially in steel framed structures. Indeed, steel structures are particularly vulnerable to thermal attack because of a high value of steel conductivity and of the small thickness that characterise the cross-sections. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Robust Formulations for Beam-to-Beam Contact

    Författare :Hamid Reza Motamedian; Artem Kulachenko; Anders Klarbring; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structures; Finite Element Methods; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Contact between beam elements is a specific category of contact problems which was introduced by Wriggers and Zavarise in 1997 for normal contact and later extended by Zavarise and Wriggers to include tangential and frictional contact. In these works, beam elements are assumed to have rigid circular cross-sections and each pair of elements cannot have more than one contact point. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Co-rotational beam elements in instability problems

    Författare :Jean-Marc Battini; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :instability; co-rotational mehtod; branch-switching; beam element; warping; plastic buckling. post-bifurcation; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of the work presented in this thesis is to implement co-rotational beam elements and branch-switching procedures in order to analyse elastic and elastoplasticinstability problems. For the 2D beam elements, the co-rotational framework is taken from Crisfield [23]. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Corotational formulation for nonlinear analysis of flexible beam structures

    Författare :Thanh Nam Le; Jean-Marc Battini; Jari Mäkinen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Corotational method; nonlinear dynamic analysis; beam element; large displacements; finite rotations; time stepping method; cubic interpolations;

    Sammanfattning : Flexible beam structures are popular in civil and mechanical engineering. Many of these structures undergo large displacements and finite rotations, but with small deformations. Their dynamic behaviors are usually investigated using finite beam elements. A well known method to derive such beam elements is the corotational approach. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Nonlinear dynamics of flexible structures using corotational beam elements

    Författare :Thanh-Nam Le; Jean-Marc Battini; Reijo Kouhia; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; corotational method; nonlinear dynamics; large displacements; finite rotations; time stepping method; thin-walled cross-section; beam element;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to develop corotational beam elements for the nonlinear dynamic analyse of flexible beam structures. Whereas corotational beam elements in statics are well documented, the derivation of a corotational dynamic formulation is still an issue. LÄS MER
