Abstract:

The development of robust solution schemes for the nonlinear finite element analysis of quasi-brittle materials has been a challenging undertaking, due mainly to the stability and convergence difficulties associated with strain-softening materials. The work described in this thesis addresses this issue by proposing a new method for improving the robustness and convergence characteristics of a finite element damage model. In this method, a smooth unloading-reloading function is employed to compute an approximate tangent matrix in an incremental iterative Newton type solution procedure. The new

Abstract:

A finite element model has been developed in this thesis for predicting strength and stiffness behavior of multilayered beam-columns. The analysis incorporates material and geometric nonlinearities in order to determine the ultimate load carrying capacity. The finite element model takes into account the continuous variability of material properties along the length of layers so that multilayered wood beam-columns can be analyzed. Transverse as well as lateral bending in combination with axial tension or compression can be considered along with different layer configurations, various support an

Abstract:

A nonlinear finite element program to simulate the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members under the action of monotonic increasing loading has been developed. The nonlinear response of the RC members is mainly due to the nonlinear material characteristics including nonlinear biaxial stress-strain relations and cracking of concrete and yielding of steel reinforcement. A constitutive model of concrete under biaxial stress state is adopted in this thesis. In this model, concrete fails and critical cracks occur when the tensile strain of concrete exceeds the limiting tensile strain. The

The behaviour of steel plates and reinforced concrete slabs which undergo large deflections has been investigated using the finite element method. Geometric and material nonlinearities are both considered in the study. Two computer programs have been developed for the analysis of plates and slabs. Ihe first program is for the elastic stability of plates. The elastic buckling loads obtained for plates with and without openings and under different edge loading conditions have been compared with the analytical and numerical results obtained by other investigators using different techniques of ana

A probabilistic finite element analysis procedure for laminated composite shells has been developed. A total Lagrangian finite element formulation, employing a degenerated 3-D laminated composite shell element with the full Green-Lagrange strains and first-order shear deformable kinematics, forms the modeling foundation. The first-order second-moment technique for probabilistic finite element analysis of random fields is employed and results are presented in the form of mean and variance of the structural response. The effects of material nonlinearity are included through the use of a rate-ind

A finite element program is developed to depict the behavior of a sheet pile interlock connection in an axial pull test. Two types of sheet piles, PS32 and PSX32, are considered. The thumb and finger in the interlock of a sheet pile will provide three contact points for connection with another sheet pile. The problem is highly nonlinear in nature which involves large deflections and rotations, elastic-plastic material response, and a nonlinear boundary effect due to multi-contact surfaces.

A nonlinear finite element model, called MINE-PAL, has been developed for elasto-plastic, large deformation analysis of underground and surface mining excavations. The model accounts for both material nonlinearity due to yielding and strain-hardening and strain-softening effects and geometric nonlinearity due to large deformations. The finite element equations are formulated using incremental plasticity theory with Total Lagrangian approach where the Kirchhoff stress tensor and Green strain increment tensor are used.

A boundary element model was developed for stress/stability analysis of underground excavations in the vicinity of faults.
