Abstract:
Multi-piece wheels or rims used on large vehicles such as trucks, tractors, trailers, buses and off-road machines have often been known for their dangerous properties because of the large number of catastrophic accidents involving them. The main causes for these accidents range from dislocation of the rim components in the assembly, mismatch of the components, manufacturing tolerances, corrosion of components to tires. A finite element analysis of a two-piece rim design similar to one manufactured by some of the prominent rim manufacturers in the USA is undertaken. A linear static deformation

An efficient and accurate algorithm is developed to evaluate reliability in the time domain for nonlinear structures subjected to short duration dynamic loadings, including earthquake loading. The algorithm is based on the nonlinear stochastic finite element method (SFEM). Uncertainties in the dynamic and seismic excitation, and resistance-related parameters are incorporated by modeling them as realistically as possible. The uncertainty in them is explicitly addressed. The proposed algorithm intelligently integrates the concepts of response surface method (RSM), finite element method (FEM), fi

Laser forming is an innovative technique that uses a defocused laser beam to form sheet metal by thermal stresses rather than external forces. Promising potential applications of laser forming include rapid prototyping, straightening, aligning and adjusting of macro/micro-metallic components. Research to-date on laser forming has been largely focused, theoretically and experimentally, on the problem of characterization of process parameters on the forming results, and computational simulations of laser forming remain limited only providing the insight into the process.

Corrosion of reinforcing bars is the major cause of deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and many coastal regions around the world.

This work is mainly concerned about the time-harmonic electromagnetic problems involving moving bodies.

Numerical solution is required for most of the practical problems. We examined the reliability of finite element simulator developed for solving such problems.

Rapid drawdown (RDD) occurs when the water level adjacent to a slope or embankment is lowered quickly after a long period of being elevated either at the normal operating level for a dam or in the case of levees, during a prolonged flood. The current state of practice for RDD analysis is a multi-stage undrained strength method based on limit equilibrium. The primary objective of this research was to develop a new method for rapid drawdown based on the finite element method. The new method estimates undrained strengths based on effective consolidation stresses from finite element analysis

Abstract:
O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um modelo para análise probabilística de vigas de concreto armado recuperadas à flexão, através da utilização conjunta do método de simulação de Monte Carlo e do método dos Elementos Finitos. Para uma análise da confiabilidade, foram projetadas vigas de concreto armado seguindo as recomendações da NRR 6118:2003. Após, foi considerado que as armaduras tracionadas de flexão sofreram reduções de 10%, 20% e 30% na sua área da seção transversal, sendo, então, feita uma análise da segurança estrutural remanescente. Para o projeto de recuperação das vigas danifi

Abstract:
Este trabalho busca aplicar técnicas de confiabilidade ao problema de grupo de estacas utilizadas como fundação de estruturas correntes. Para isso, lança-se mão de um modelo tridimensional de interação estaca-solo onde estão presentes o Método dos Elementos de Contorno (MEC) e o método dos Elementos Finitos (MEF) que atuam de forma acoplada. O MEC, com as soluções fundamentais de Mindlin (meio semi-infinito, homogêneo, isotrópico e elástico-linear é utiliza), é utilizado para modelar o solo. Já o MEF é utilizado para modelar as estacas. Definido o modelo de funcionamento estrutural das estacas

Abstract:
Die Least-Squares Finite-Elemente-Methoden (LSFEMn) basieren auf der Minimierung des Least-Squares-Funktionals, das aus quadrierten Normen der Residuen eines Systems von partiellen Differentialgleichungen erster Ordnung besteht. Dieses Funktional liefert einen a posteriori Fehlerschätzer und ermöglicht die adaptive Verfeinerung des zugrundeliegenden Netzes. Aus zwei Gründen versagen die gängigen Methoden zum Beweis optimaler Konvergenzraten, wie sie in Carstensen, Feischl, Page und Praetorius (Comp. Math. Appl., 67(6), 2014) zusammengefasst werden.

Abstract:
Neste trabalho, são desenvolvidas novas técnicas aproximadas de análise de confiabilidade para grelhas de concreto armado levando-se em consideração as probabilidades de falha de vários modos importantes. Realiza-se um acoplamento entre os métodos de Monte Carlo, elementos finitos e procedimentos de otimização para considerar esses modos de falha importantes e classificá-los. Esse acoplamento também permite a redução do número de chamadas ao modelo de elementos finitos. Os cenários de falha são caracterizados como o encurtamento excessivo do concreto e o alongamento do aço. Estes cenários dete
