The Pushover Analysis from basics - Rahul LeslieRahul Leslie
Pushover analysis has been in the academic-research arena for quite long. The papers published in this field usually deals mostly with proposed improvements to the approach, expecting the reader to know the basics of the topic... while the common structural design practitioner, not knowing the basics, is left out from participating in those discussions. Here I’m making an effort to bridge that gap by explaining the Pushover analysis, from basics, in its simplicity.

Static Analysis of Masonry Infilled R.C.Frame With &Without Opening Including...IOSR Journals
Masonry infill is considered as a non-structural element in all type of buildings where masonry use.
But, masonry infill walls are mainly used to increase initial stiffness and strength of reinforced concrete (RC)
frame buildings. This Open First storey is also termed as “Soft Storey”. The upper storeys have brick infilled
wall panels with various opening percentage in it. In many cities of India, it is very common to leave the first
storey of masonry infilled reinforcement concrete (RC) frame building open preliminary to generate parking
space or any other usage in the first storey. Such buildings are highly undesirable in seismically active areas. In
the present study, it is an attempt to access the performance of masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames
with soft storey of with and without opening. In this paper, symmetrical frame of college building (G+5) located
in seismic zone-III is considered by modelling of initial frame. According to FEMA-273, & ATC-40 which
contain the provisions of calculation of stiffness of infilled frames by modelling infill as“Equivalent Diagonal
Strut Method”. Therefore, the infill panels are modelled as equivalent diagonal strut method. The error
involved in modelling such buildings as neglecting the presence of infills in the upper storeys, is brought out
through the study of an example building with different analytical models. This linear static analysis is to be
carried out on the models such as Strut frame with 15%, 20%, & 25% centre &corner opening, which is
performed by using computer software STAAD-Pro from which different parameters are computed. In which it
shows that how infill panels increase the stiffness of the structure. While the increase in the opening percentage
leads to a decrease on the lateral stiffness of infilled frame. This paper highlights the importance of the presence
of the open first storey in the analysis of the building
Analysis of rc framed structures with central and partial openings in masonry...eSAT Journals
Abstract In Reinforced concrete frames the masonry infill walls are a common practice in countries like India, where the region is prone to seismic activity. In general, the masonry infill walls are treated as nonstructural element in structural analysis and only the contribution of its mass for is considered and it’s structural parameters like strength and stiffness is generally ignored in practice, such an approach may lead to an unsafe design. Infill walls resist lateral loads but because of the openings in the infill wall the resistance may slightly reduce. The IS code provisions do not provide guidelines for the analysis and design of RC frames with infill wall and for different percentage of openings. In this study, an office or residential building outer side central opening or outer side partial openings are used and analysis is carried for Bare Frame model, infill walls without opening, infill walls with outer periphery central opening and infill wall with outer periphery partial opening models. In ETABS software G+14 RC framed building models has been prepared, Equivalent Static Lateral force method, Response spectrum method has been performed for analysis as per IS 1893 : 2002 including p-delta effects. Storey displacement, Storey shear, Storey drift, with soft storey considering the effects of infill wall with central and partial openings are the parameters considered in this study. For modeling, the Equivalent diagonal strut method has been used to find out the width of Strut using FEMA 273 .The results for bare frame, infill wall, and infill wall with central and partial openings are discussed and conclusions are made. Keywords: Equivalent diagonal strut, stiffness, Drift limitation

Experimental Investigation of Stress Concentration in Cross Section of Crane ...ijtsrd
Crane Hooks are highly liable components and are always subjected to failure due to the amount of stresses concentration which can eventually lead to its failure. To study the stress pattern of crane hook in its loaded condition, a solid model of crane hook is prepared with the help of solid works or Pro E software. Real time pattern of stress concentration in 3D model of crane hook is obtained. By predicting the stress concentration area, the shape of the crane is modified to increase its working life and reduce the failure rates. Hooks are employed in heavy industries to carry tonnes of loads safely. These hooks have a big role to play as far as the safety of the crane loaded is concerned. With more and more industrialization the rate at which these hooks are forged are increasing. This work has been carried out on one of the major crane hook carrying a larger load comparatively. The cad model of the crane hook is initially prepared with the help of existing drawings. It is then followed by implementation of modified cross section of hook in the static structural analysis workbench of ANSYS. The selection was based on the satisfaction of several factors in the form of load carrying capacity, stress induced and deflection Stress analysis plays a significant role in the design of parts and structures that must carry load. In this study, Crane hook which is one of lifting equipment, frequently used in material handling is investigated. Analytical Straight beam, curved beam and Winkler Bach approximation , FEM methods were used by various researchers to study stress pattern of crane hook in its loaded condition. The fatigue of the crane which leads to failure of propagation of cracks by stress concentration. Gabriel. A | Suganth. V | Dr. S.

"Surrogate infill criteria for operational fatigue reliability analysis" pres...TRUSS ITN
Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) fatigue damage is an intense, resource demanding task. While the current methodologies to design OWT to fatigue are quite limited in the way and amount of uncertainty they can account for, they still represent a relevant share of the total effort needed in the OWT design process. The robustness achieved in the design process is usually limited. To enable OWT to be more robust, an innovative methodology that tackles current limitations using a balanced amount of designing effort was developed. It consists of generating a short-term fatigue damage (DSH ) using a Kriging surrogate model that accurately accounts for uncertainty using an adaptive approach. The current paper discusses the application of a reinterpolation convergence to build a Kriging surrogate model that replicates DSH in OWT tower components. Different variables involved in the convergence are discussed. The discussion extends then to how the design could be improved by using different convergence scenarios for the Kriging surface. Cross-validation is used to train and validate the surrogate surface. The main goal is to give the designer a rationale on the trade-off between computational time and accuracy using the mentioned approach to design robust OWT towers. Results show that on a design basis two levels of approach may be efficient. In the first, if a very high computational cost is expected, a trade-off between accuracy and computational time must be considered and then, if the intention is to check how robust the current design is, a full convergence of the surface should be pursued.
Modelling and simulation methodology for unidirectional composite laminates i...Olben Falcó Salcines
A reliable virtual testing framework for unidirectionally laminated composites is presented that allows the
prediction of failure loads and modes of general in-plane coupons with great realism. This is a toolset based on
finite element analysis that relies on a cohesive-frictional constitutive formulation coupled with the kinematics
of penalty-based contact surfaces, on sophisticated three-dimensional continuum damage models, and overall on
a modelling approach based on mesh structuring and crack-band erosion to capture the appropriate crack paths
in unidirectional fibre reinforced plies. An extensive and rigorous validation of the overall approach is presented,
demonstrating that the virtual testing laboratory is robust and can be reliably used in for composite materials
screening, design and certification.

Nanometric Modelization of Gas Structure, Multidimensional using COMSOL Soft...IJECEIAES
In structures with GaAs, which are the structures most used, because of their physical and electronic proprieties, nevertheless seems a compromise between the increase of doping and reduced mobility. The use of quantum hetero structures can overcome this limitation by creating a 2D carrier gas. Using the COMSOL software this work present three models: the first model computes the electronic states for the heterojunction AlGaAs/GaAs in 1D dimension, the second model computes the electronic states for the heterojunction AlGaAs/GaAs but in 2D dimension (nanowire) and the third model we permitted the study of this hetero junction (steep) wich inevitably involves the resolution of the system of equations Schrödinger-Poisson due to quantum effects that occur at the interface. The validity of this model can be effectuated with a comparison of our results with the result of different models developed in the literature of the related work, from this point of view the validity of our model is confirmed.

Mod IMK Models
Simulating the behavior of structural members under extreme loading conditions is extremely complex, and can only be accomplished by reproducing, at a section level, the behavior observed experimentally
The use of empirically calibrated moment-rotation models that account for strength and stiffness deterioration of structural members is paramount in evaluating the performance of steel structures prone to collapse under seismic loading
The Modified Ibarra-Medina-Krawinkler (ModIMK) models is a complex and general model, which accounts for six different deterioration mechanisms, and for that reason, ideal to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed models and for use in collapse structural analysis.

Mod IMK Models
The Modified Ibarra-Medina-Krawinkler (ModIMK), proposed by Lignos and Krawinkler (2008), differs from the original model on some definitions related to the backbone curve and on the simulation of deterioration.
After the work of Lignos and Krawinkler, that statistically analyzed several hundreds of experimental test results obtained over the last decades, the ModIMK model defines all his parameters, including strength and stiffness deterioration, in terms of element geometry, material properties, and cross-sectional geometry.
Based on the modes of deterioration defined by the ModIMK model, three different models were implemented in OpenSees

FLPH formulation
What is it? FLPH formulation is an efficient distributed plasticity formulation with designated hinge zones at the member ends. Cross sections in the inelastic hinge zones are characterized through either nonlinear moment-curvature relationships or explicit fiber-section integrations that enforce the assumption that plane sections remain plane.
Integration scheme Scott and Fenves (2006) proposed a Modified Gauss-Radau integration scheme in order to avoid localization issues

Advantages
Avoid localization issues (occurs in distributed plasticity elements)
When compared to the concentrated plasticity formulation:
Lower modeling effort (less nodes and elements)
Lower computational cost
Allows for clear separation between member and connection nonlinearity
Disadvantages
Not possible to directly use empirically calibrated moment-rotation relationships (such as the ones provided by ModIMK models)
Needs a plastic hinge length to be assigned (empirical or based on moment gradient – afternoon)

Advantages:
“Directly” assign moment-rotation relationships to the zero-length springs.
Disadvantages:
The ideal n value is not trivial, as low values lead to erroneous results and high values result in numerical instability.
The use of the parameter n, which modifies the elastic stiffness and the post-yielding ratios does not allow for direct use of expression proposed by Rahnama and Krawinkler (1993) for update of model parameters due to deterioration 1 1 i i i X X

Conclusions
Accurate results can be achieved either by using FLPH models or CPH models, since the proposed algorithm is used if the CPH models are employed
A significant reduction in model complexity is obtained when FLPH models are employed
The implementation procedure for FLPH models is significantly simpler than that required for the CPH models and the use of ad-hoc parameters simulating rigid plastic behavior can be avoided Work under development:
Validate results for different moment gradients

The Big Picture
Building Models:
The models assume rigid diaphragms at each floor and account for geometric nonlinearities by considering P−Δ leaning columns
Columns are modeled considering a distributed plasticity fiber-section model an elasto-plastic constitutive law with 3% linear hardening assigned to each fiber
Beams are modeled using finite-length plastic hinge elements together with a bilinear model with deterioration based on the empirical model proposed by Lignos & Krawinkler (2011). A plastic hinge length of Lp = L/6 (Scott & Ryan 2013) is assigned, which provides for accurate calibration between moment-rotation and moment-curvature relation
The proposed models were validated through nonlinear static (pushover) and nonlinear dynamic time-history analyses against results of past studies (Luco (2002), FEMA355C (2000))
