This book was released on 1999 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: T -Tubular joints of elliptical and circular cross-section tubes for the main tube (chord) with circular cross-section tubes for the braces have been studied. Experimental tests for the joint strength of these welded T -joints under tension, compression, in plane bending and out of plane bending have been carried out. A rig has been designed and built for that purpose. Three cases of T -joint connections were selected. For Case 1, the brace was perpendicular to the circular chord outer diameter. For Case 2, the brace was perpendicular to elliptical chord minor diameter and for Case 3, the brace was perpendicular to elliptical chord major diameter. The chord was held as fixed-fixed for all cases. The material used for all tubes was mild steel. The ultimate loads and ultimate moments obtained from the tests are converted to non-dimensional strengths throughout this investigation. This was done to make efficient comparisons. Finite element models 'for similar T -joints have been developed and used to analyze the effect of axial loading and bending moment. Tension, compression, in- plane bending and out-of-plane bending load modes were studied. A comparison between experimental results and finite element analysis was also carried out. Another comparison between experimental results and existing empirical equation results for similar circular chords tubular joints was also carried out. The results extracted from this study for tension, compression, in-plane bending and out-of-plane bending modes for the ultimate loads and moments of Case 1, are 53.85 kN, 25.43 kN, 0.76 kN.m and 0.40 kN.m respectively. On the other hand, the results for Case 2 of the ultimate loads and moments are 42.48 kN, 18.39 kN, 0.63 kN.m and 0.37 kN.m respectively. While for Case 3 the ultimate loads and moments are 64.86 kN, 28.95 kN, 1.00 kN.m and 0.55 kN.m respectively. The results obtained show that for axial tension and compression loading modes, Case 3 increases by 17.0% and 12.2% respectively when compared to Case 1 while 24.0% and 27.3% increase were found for in-plane and out-of-plane bending load modes respectively. This shows a significant improvement in the static strength for elliptical chords tubular joints (Case 3) under different loading modes when compared to circular chords tubular joints (Case 1).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews the research which has been carried out from the 1980s to 2000 into the effect of cracks on the static strength of tubular joints. The effects of cracks on both plastic collapse and fracture are considered for a range of different types of joint geometry. The main geometries considered are T, Y, DT and K tubular joints with cracks around the weld toe in the chord and plain brace members with circumferential cracks. The information available consists of experimental test data and the results of a series of finite element analysis investigation

Book excerpt: This paper presents a series of test results carried out on elliptical Concrete-Filled Tube (CFT) columns. The tests were conducted to investigate the effects of variations of concrete strength and column slenderness on the behaviour and axial strength of the columns. The experimental study was carried out on ten specimens of short and long columns with Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC). One elliptical steel section was used with three different typical concrete strengths to determine the reduction of column strength with the increase in column length. All specimens were tested to failure to assess their load carrying capacity, deformation and structural behaviour.

Download or read book Finite Element Analysis Concepts written by J. E. Akin and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2010 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young engineers are often required to utilize commercial finite element software without having had a course on finite element theory. That can lead to computer-aided design errors. This book outlines the basic theory, with a minimum of mathematics, and how its phases are structured within a typical software. The importance of estimating a solution, or verifying the results, by other means is emphasized and illustrated. The book also demonstrates the common processes for utilizing the typical graphical icon interfaces in commercial codes. in particular, the book uses and covers the widely utilized SolidWorks solid modeling and simulation system to demonstrate applications in heat transfer, stress analysis, vibrations, buckling, and other fields. The book, with its detailed applications, will appeal to upper-level undergraduates as well as engineers new to industry.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 858 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fourth Conference on Fibrous Composites in Structural Design was a successor to the First-to-Third Conferences on Fibrous Composites in Flight Vehicle Design sponsored by the Air Force (First and Second Conferences, September 1973 and May 1974) and by NASA (Third Conference, November 1975) which were aimed at focusing national attention on flight vehicle applications of a new class of fiber reinforced materials, the advanced com posites, which afforded weight savings and other advantages which had not been previously available. The Fourth Conference, held at San Diego, California, 14-17 November 1978, was the fi rst of these conferences to be jointly sponsored by the Army, Navy and Ai r Force together with NASA, as well as being the first to give attention to non-aerospace applications of fiber reinforced composites. While the design technology for aerospace applications has reached a state of relative maturity, other areas of application such as mi litary bridging, flywheel energy storage systems, ship and surface vessel components and ground vehicle components are in an early stage of development, and it was an important objective to pinpoint where careful attention to structural design was needed in such applications to achfeve maximum structural performance payoff together with a high level of reliability and attractive economics.

Download or read book Recommendations for Fatigue Design of Welded Joints and Components written by A. F. Hobbacher and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-23 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a basis for the design and analysis of welded components that are subjected to fluctuating forces, to avoid failure by fatigue. It is also a valuable resource for those on boards or commissions who are establishing fatigue design codes. For maximum benefit, readers should already have a working knowledge of the basics of fatigue and fracture mechanics. The purpose of designing a structure taking into consideration the limit state for fatigue damage is to ensure that the performance is satisfactory during the design life and that the survival probability is acceptable. The latter is achieved by the use of appropriate partial safety factors. This document has been prepared as the result of an initiative by Commissions XIII and XV of the International Institute of Welding (IIW).
