Book Description
The first complete guide to using the Stochastic Finite Element Method for reliability assessment Unlike other analytical reliability estimation techniques, the Stochastic Finite Element Method (SFEM) can be used for both implicit and explicit performance functions, making it a particularly powerful and robust tool for today's engineer. This book, written by two pioneers in SFEM-based methodologies, shows how to use SFEM for the reliability analysis of a wide range of structures. It begins by reviewing essential risk concepts, currently available risk evaluation procedures, and the use of analytical and sampling methods in estimating risk. Next, it introduces SFEM evaluation procedures, with detailed coverage of displacement-based and stress-based deterministic finite element approaches. Linear, nonlinear, static, and dynamic problems are considered separately to demonstrate the robustness of the methods. The risk or reliability estimation procedure for each case is presented in different chapters, with theory complemented by a useful series of examples. Integrating advanced concepts in risk-based design, finite elements, and mechanics, Reliability Assessment Using Stochastic Finite Element Analysis is vital reading for engineering professionals and students in all areas of the field.

Hencky Bar-chain/net For Structural Analysis
Author: Chien Ming Wang
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 1786348004
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
As an emerging discrete structural model, the Hencky bar-chain/net model (HBM) has shown its advantages over other numerical methods in some problems. Owing to the discrete properties of HBM, it is also a suitable model for nano-scale structures which are currently a very hot research topic in mechanics.This book introduces the concepts and previous research of the Hencky bar-chain/net model, before demonstrating how beams, columns, arches, rectangular plates and circular plates could be successfully modelled by HBM. HBM comprises rigid bars connected by frictionless hinges with elastic rotational springs (and a system of torsional springs in the cells for plates). In the treatment of the above-mentioned structures, HBM is found to be mathematically equivalent to the first order central finite difference method (FDM). So HBM may be regarded as the physical structural model behind the FDM.This book is a compilation of the authors' research on the development of the Hencky bar-chain/net model, and is organized according to the development and application of HBM for beams, columns, frames, arches and rings, and plates. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter to aid comprehension and guide learning. It is a useful reference for students, researchers, academics and practitioners in the field of structural analysis.

Structural Safety Studies
Author: James Tsu-ping Yao
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Proceedings of a Symposium on Structural Safety Studies at the ASCE Convention, held in Denver, Colorado, May 1-2, 1985. Sponsored by the Committee on Structural Safety and Reliability of the Structural Engineering Division of ASCE. This collection contains 14 papers focusing on safety aspect of structures. The complexities of many current projects and the increasing attention to existing infrastructures often require reevaluation of structural safety during the lifetime of a particular structure. In so doing, it is necessary to idealize complex natural phenomena. Such idealized models require frequent updating and improvement. These papers introduce relatively new concepts and methods to the structural engineering community. Topics include: human errors, random vibration, structural damage, finite-element methods, structural optimization, evaluation of structures, earthquake and wind effects, elastic foundations, design loads, risk assessment, and bridge inspection.
