Beam-column connection in Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame is one of the most critical parts of the structure which has important role in seismic performance of these buildings. When a beam-column ...

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a stress wave-based active-sensing approach using piezoceramic transducers to detect the bolt looseness-induced damage in steel truss arch structures. A specimen of ...

The Generalized Finite Element Method (GFEM) can be viewed as an extension of the Finite Element Method (FEM) where the approximation space is enriched by shape functions appropriately chosen. Many ...

Many of our academics speak to the media as experts in their field of research. If you are a journalist, please contact the University’s Media and PR Team: Dr Schenk read his BSc/MSc degrees in ...

This research focuses on integrated origami and tensegrity structures in equilibrium and form-finding analysis. Using an analytical approach, the software enables modeling and evaluating both origami ...

The behavior of many engineering structures, excited from external stresses, is governed by differential equations. We can solve most of these differential equations analytically as long as we ...

Civil Engineering College of Hubei University of Technology, Wuhan, China. Truss is a structure of connected elements forming triangular units, and a bridge whose supporting superstructure is ...

Finite Element Method (FEM) codes in Matlab and Python for beam, plane frame, and plane truss structures static and modal analysis. Functions for the determination of stiffness and mass matrices are ...
