Finite element modeling and analysis of a hybrid steel–PSC beam connection

Finite element modelling of blind bolted composite joints

“…There are several tension stiffening models proposed by Kim and Nguyen [24], and the model based on the cubic Bezier curve is the best among them. Therefore, it was adopted in this study.…”

Flexural Behavior of Prestressed Steel-Concrete Composite Members with Discontinuous Webs

“…Other detailed information on the mesh size-sensitivity analysis of finite element modeling can be found elsewhere [10]. Because the geometry of the DWPS composite beam is quite complex, the eight-node C3D8R element was selected among the hexahedron (brick) 3D solid elements to improve the convergence of the iterative calculations and the accuracy of the nonlinear analysis [13]. It is noted that the initial stress or deformation in tendons due to prestress could not be modeled by using the wire elements in the ABAQUS platform because of the geometric characteristics of draped tendon layout and the construction sequences.…”

Three-layered plate: Elasticity solution

“…The analysis considered an infinitesimal element cut out of the layered plate and an infinitesimal element cut out of the upper layer (Figs. [13][14][15][16], which are obtained by two pairs of cut planes at an infinitesimal distance from each other, parallel to the xz and yz planes respectively. Presented here are the developments for the x direction; the expressions for the y direction can be obtained by replacing the index x with y and vice versa in these expressions.…”
