13. Numerical analysis of truss systems with stiffened flattened end-bars
Abstract Circular hollow sections are usually used in long-span roof truss systems. One of the typology for connecting elements in such structures involves the flattening of bar ends. This article presents the numerical analysis of a plane truss composed of circular hollow sections, in which diagonal bars have flattened ends. In this sense, a new flattening

14. Thermal analysis of steel-concrete composite cross sections via CS-ASA/FA
Abstract When exposed to high temperatures, such as in a fire situation, the physical and resistance characteristics of the materials employed in the structure deteriorate as the temperature increases. This fact promotes a considerable loss in the bearing capacity and stiffness of the structural system. The verification of a structure exposed to fire depends

15. Numerical analysis of cold-formed double angles back-to-back under compression
Abstract Here-in, a numerical analysis based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) is proposed in order to investigate cold-formed steel back-to-back double angle structural behavior under compression. Considering non-linear analysis, an investigation was performed to analyze the influence of some aspects, such as the loading condition (concentric and eccentric

16. Simulation of species concentration distribution in reactive flows with unsteady boundary conditions
Abstract The determination of species concentration profiles in reactive flows with variable inlets is a problem of practical interest to many fields such as in flow reactor transient operation and in cyclic degradable pollutants disposals in watercourses. In these cases, the inflow condition often consists of a time-dependent function, which may imply unste

17. Stress-Based Finite Element Methods for Dynamics Analysis of Euler-Bernoulli Beams with Various Boundary Conditions
Abstract In this research, two stress-based finite element methods including the curvature-based finite element method (CFE) and the curvature-derivative-based finite element method (CDFE) are developed for dynamics analysis of Euler-Bernoulli beams with different boundary conditions. In CFE, the curvature distribution of the Euler-Bernoulli beams is approxi

18. Immersed Boundary Method Based on the Implementation of Conservation Equations along the Boundary using Control-Volume Finite-Element Scheme
ABSTRACT In this study conservation equations were implemented along the boundaries via ghost control-volume immersed boundary method. The control-volume finite-element method was applied on a cartesian grid to simulate 2-D incompressible flow. In this approach, mass and momentum equations were conserved in the whole domain including boundary control volumes

19. Relative Performance of Three Mesh-Reduction Methods in Predicting Mode III Crack-Tip Singularity
Abstract Due to their robustness in handling the inherent singularity difficulties associated with crack analysis, mesh-reduction methods present an avalanche of formulations in the literature which, sometimes, entails modifications to their conventional/standard forms for better results. Although such formulations provide a pool of alternative choices to th

20. Imposition of Dirichlet Boundary Conditions in Element Free Galerkin Method through an Object-Oriented Implementation
Abstract One of the main drawbacks of Element Free Galerkin (EFG) method is its dependence on moving least square shape functions which don’t satisfy the Kronecker Delta property, so in this method it’s not possible to apply Dirichlet boundary conditions directly. The aim of the present paper is to discuss different aspects of three widely used methods o

21. Mechanical Behavior of Nano Structures Using Atomic-Scale Finite Element Method (AFEM)
Abstract This work presents a detailed description of the formulation and implementation of the Atomistic Finite Element Method AFEM, exemplified in the analysis of one- and two-dimensional atomic domains governed by the Lennard Jones interatomic potential. The methodology to synthesize element stiffness matrices and load vectors, the potential energy modifi

22. Static Limit Analysis of Reinforced Soil Structures by a Simple Finite Element and Second-Order Cone Programming
Abstract To discretize reinforced soil structures in plane strain and predict their collapse load, a simple three-node triangular finite element is formulated based on the static theorem of the limit analysis. The element satisfies the equilibrium equations and the mechanical boundary conditions in a weak sense. A modified Mohr-Coulomb yield surface is adopt

23. Seismic Pressures in Offshore Areas: Numerical Results
Abstract The purpose of this study is to obtain numerical estimations of seismic pressures in offshore areas considering the effect of seabed configurations and soil materials. To this end, the Boundary Element Method is used to irradiate waves, so that force densities can be obtained for each boundary element. From this hypothesis, Huygens´ Principle is im

24. On the Validation of a Numerical Model for the Analysis of Soil-Structure Interaction Problems
Abstract Modeling and simulation of mechanical response of structures, relies on the use of computational models. Therefore, verification and validation procedures are the primary means of assessing accuracy, confidence and credibility in modeling. This paper is concerned with the validation of a three dimensional numerical model based on the finite element
