Analysis-aware defeaturing of complex geometries with Neumann features

Ondine Gabrielle Chanon, Pablo Antolin Sanchez

Local modifications of a computational domain are often performed in order to simplify the meshing process and to reduce computational costs and memory requirements. However, removing geometrical features of a domain often introduces a non-negligible error ...

Reliability analysis and partial safety format calibration considering the characteristics of the resistance of reinforced concrete structures

Qianhui Yu

Every engineering calculation is an approximation of reality, with inevitable uncertainties involved. This fact implies that a reliability verification accounting for the uncertainties is a necessary step in the design and assessment of structures. Nowaday ...

Proposed Panel Zone Model for Beam-To-Column Joints in Steel Moment Resisting Frames

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady, Andronikos Skiadopoulos

In capacity designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs), beam-to-column joints (i.e., panel zones) are designed to remain elastic. To potentially exploit the beneficial aspects of the stable panel zone hysteretic response in shear, a robust panel zone mo ...

Crack tip kinematics reveal the process zone structure in brittle fracture

John Martin Kolinski, Chenzhuo Li, Xinyue Wei

When brittle hydrogels fail, several mechanisms conspire to alter the state of stress near the tip of a crack, and it is challenging to identify which mechanism is dominant. In the fracture of brittle solids, a sufficient far-field stress results in the co ...
