Abstract:
Fibre-reinforced composite materials are becoming important in many areas of technological application. In addition to the static load, such structures may be stressed with short-term dynamic loads or even dynamic impact loads during their lifespan. Dynamic effects can be significant especially for thin-walled shell structures and barrier constructions. Impact loading of construction components produces a complex process, where both the characteristics of the design itself and the material parameters influence the resultant behavior. It is clear that reinforced concrete with fibers has a positive impact on increasing the resistance to impact loads. Results of impact load tests carried out on drop-weight test machine are presented in this paper. The results are supplemented by compression strength test.

Abstract:
Addressing sustainable development challenges, Russia is seeking new opportunities for the use of thin-walled cold-cast structures to meet the requirements of cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, and rapid construction. The study aims to explore the possibilities of design and calculation of low-rise buildings erected from lightweight thin-walled steel structures using frame construction technology. The design solutions for the roof, walls, floors, and foundation are exemplified using concrete examples. The load capacity off framing studs, roof beams, and floor slabs was calculated. Three methods were used for calculation - Eurocode 3, direct strength test, and ultimate load test in compliance with AISI standards.

Abstract:
The paper discusses the use of lightweight thin-walled structures which make it possible to save resources in steel construction. The highlighted challenges that this industry face in the Russian Federation involve insufficient development of the domestic standards. A thin-walled sigma-profile element with 300 mm in a section height has been studied. The element, its design diagram and loading have been chosen taking into account the structural performance of the columns and girders involved in CFS frameworks. The paper presents analysis technique for a thin-walled profile which performs under axial compression and axial bending compression. The structures have been calculated taking into account their main feature - the initial geometric imperfections. The analysis of the changed effective characteristics and stresses in the cross-section has revealed the significant influence of the initial geometric imperfections of the profiles and location of the extra eccentricity against the element’s initial curvatures. The elastic-plastic behaviour of material occurs when the stresses in the full cross-section achieve 0.71 Ryignoring the initial geometric imperfections, and 0.58 Ry– with regard to them. The paper substantiates the need to consider unevenness of the mechanical properties of steel distributed over the cross-section of the profile. Based on the experimental data obtained, conclusions have been drawn on the necessary adaptation of the indirect method for evaluating the strength characteristics of thin-walled samples.

Abstract:
There are two ways to make steel construction more competitive: (i) to save steel (via thin-walled structures) and (ii) to save fabrication costs (via economic-fabrication structures). The authors' studies on post-buckled behavior in thin-walled construction and its partial "erosion" under many times repeated loading are described. S–N curves are established by the authors based on their numerous tests, such as to be used in the design of webs breathing under repeated loading. A reduction of some fabrication procedures as a way to economic-fabrication construction is discused, e.g. the possibility to avoid straightening of plate elements involved. Formulae for a user-friendly design of the webs of economic-fabrication steel girders, such as to make it possible to disregard their breathing, are also presented.

Abstract:
The work considers one of the possible reasons for reducing the operational reliability of monolithic thin-walled load-bearing reinforced concrete structures of existing industrial structures in relation to their design solution. As this reason is considered the variability of distances between axes of cores of working inspectedarmature of such designs is quite common.Comparison of design solutions with the qualityof construction and installation work makes it possible to identify the influence of unaccounted factors in the design of monolithic thin-walled reinforced concrete structures, which reduce their serviceability due to variability of concrete strength characteristics and actual longitudinal and transverse reinforcement due to variability of workingsteps. While processing the results of the survey ofmonolithic reinforced concrete thin-walled structures, which perceive the efforts of different levels,the question arises: which step of the working reinforcement, from a large number of actually measured steps, to choose in verified calculations –average or maximum, with extras.In the current norms, an indicator as the averagevalue of concrete strength for the calculation ofreinforced concrete monolithic slab structures doesnot appear, but is used as a statistically reasonablevalue of concrete strength, which takes into account its normalized variability with 95% security.Regulatory documents statistically estimates thevariability of reinforcement strength. At the sametime, they do not take into account the variabilityof the actual reinforcement of monolithic reinforced concrete structures, which is the subject forreconstruction of additional loads, but they aremade without observing the design distances between the reinforcement in these structures.When performing verified calculations of suchstructures for different design situations, to develop working designs for overhaul, reinforcement,reconstruction or dismantling, it is necessary todetermine which actual step of the working reinforcement should be taken with other defined design parameters of the structure.The authors instrumentally investigated and statistically analyzed the data of reinforcement of themonolithic reinforced concrete shell of the towerstructure, which made it possible to reasonablyaccept the values of the reinforcement steps in thetest calculations.

Abstract:
The cost-efficient field design is very important in the civil engineering. Therefore, the cold-formed steel structures (CFS) are preferred for construction. A Sophisticated CFS structure which uses a Cellular Concrete is implemented in this paper. The utilization Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) structures have become increasingly popular in different fields of building technology. The reasons behind the growing popularity of these products include their fabrication ease, high strength/weight ratio and suitability for a wide range of applications. These advantages can result in more economic designs, as compared with hot-rolled steel, especially in short-span applications. In this project work an attempt to use a Cold formed steel section as replacement to conventional steel reinforcement bar has been made.

The objective of this research project, is to investigate if the current design practice of rectangular ducts with thin walls is adequate and if it can be improved. In order to achieve this goal, the following steps were taken: 1. Investigation of the available background research relevant to this topic. 2. Development of a finite element analysis model representative of the duct behaviour for the cases in which the most suitable theories have a preponderant experimental basis, taking in consideration the limitations of the available software (MSC/fAL 2). 3.

Abstract:
Thin-walled sheetmetal enclosures house high power equipment in non-hazardous, nongassy areas of underground coal mines. They are generally situated close to the electrical supply and are thus susceptible to higher power internal arcing faults. Arcing faults occurring inside sheetsteel enclosures expose operators to safety risks through bursting of enclosures, resulting in personnel injury due to the expulsion of hot gases and molten material from these enclosures. In coal mines, there is an added risk that hot material expelled during an internal arcing fault may cause a mine fire due to external coal dust ignition. The following thesis is a study of the safety aspects, in terms of protection by using pressure relief vents, of thin-walled sheetmetal enclosures subjected to internal three-phase fault arcing. Heat absorbing baffles placed within the vent and used to cool hot gases and molten particles expelled from the vent are introduced. Results from arc fault tests incorporating these baffles are used to determine if the prevention of external coal dust ignition is possible. A method of predicting internal pressure and temperature rise resulting from an internal three-phase arc fault was produced and results from this model have shown good correlation with experimental results. High temperature plasma was seen emanating from the vent in arc fault tests where baffles were not used. Measured internal peak pressure reduced considerably as relief areas increased. The inclusion of heat arresting baffles within the vent reduced the quantity and temperature of plasma expelled, while still maintaining a low internal peak pressure. The most effective baffle design required the use of a primary baffle followed by a secondary baffle. Primary baffles absorb the brunt of the internal arcing fault pressure and temperature rise while reducing the amount of transmitted molten particles. Secondary baffles reduce the plasma temperature and amount of molten particles even further. The most important conclusions emanating from this thesis are: • The protection of thin-walled enclosures from internal three-phase fault arc pressure rises can be achieved when vents of appropriate relief area are used • Enclosure strengthening, mainly for door fasteners (handles and hinges), may be required if the enclosure is to withstand an internal arcing fault. • It is likely that the risk of coal dust ignition by expelled molten particles and hot gases, may be reduced by using heat arresting baffles • There is a need for Australian Standards to provide appropriate type tests that enable testing of vents with heat absorbing baffles. From experimental results, it was not possible to prove conclusively that any baffle combination would successfully halt an external coal dust ignition. Further research is required to understand the effects of expelled hot gases and molten particles, resulting from internal arcing faults, on coal dust ignition.

Abstract:
The considerable progress in the research and development of thin-walled beam structures responds to their growing use in engineering construction and to their increased need for efficiency in strength and cost. The result is a structure that exhibits large shear strains and important non uniform warping under different loadings, such as non uniform torsion, shear bending and distortion.

A unified approach is formulated in this thesis for 3D thin walled beam structures with arbitrary profile geometries, loading cases and boundary conditions. A single warping function, defined by a linear combination of longitudinal displacements at cross sectional nodes (derived from Prokic work), is enhanced and adapted in order to qualitatively and quantitatively reflect and capture the nature of a widest possible range of behaviors. Constraints are prescribed at the kinematics level in order to enable the study of arbitrary cross sections for general loading. This approach, differing from most published theories, has the advantage of enabling the study of arbitrary cross sections (closed/opened or mixed) without any restrictions or distinctions related to the geometry of the profile. It generates automatic data and characteristic computations from a kinematical discretization prescribed by the profile geometry. The amount of shear bending, torsional and distortional warping and the magnitude of the shear correction factor is computed for arbitrary profile geometries with this single formulation.

The proposed formulation is compared to existing theories with respect to the main assumptions and restrictions. The variation of the location of the torsional center, distortional centers and distortional rotational ratio of a profile is discussed in terms of their dependency on the loading cases and on the boundary conditions.

A 3D beam finite element model is developed and validated with several numerical applications. The displacements, rotations, amount of warping, normal and shear stresses are compared with reference solutions for general loading cases involving stretching, bending, torsion and/or distortion. Some examples concern the case of beam assemblies with different shaped profiles where the connection type determines the nature of the warping transmission. Other analyses –for which the straightness assumption of Timoshenko theory is relaxed– investigate shear deformation effects on the deflection of short and thin beams by varying the aspect ratio of the beam. Further applications identify the cross sectional distortion and highlight the importance of the distortion on the stresses when compared to bending and torsion even in simple loading cases.

Finally, a non linear finite element based on the updated lagrangian formulation is developed by including torsional warping degrees of freedom. An incremental iterative method using the arc length and the Newton-Raphson methods is used to solve the non linear problem. Examples are given to study the flexural, torsional, flexural torsional and lateral torsional buckling problems for which a coupling between the variables describing the flexural and the torsional degrees of freedom occurs. The finite element results are compared to analytical solutions based on different warping functions and commonly used in linear stability for elastic structures having insufficient lateral or torsional stiffnesses that cause an out of plane buckling.

This thesis studies two major thin-shell concrete structures by Pier Luigi Nervi (1891- 1979) - the Leverone Field House and Thompson Arena. These two similar parabolic vaults are two of the few international structures he has completed in the United States. Situated across the street from each other at Dartmouth College, these two thin-shell concrete structures designed only a few years apart and in a such mature stage of Nervi's engineering career deserve a closer look. Access to Nervi's original calculations, specifications, and correspondences with Dartmouth College reveal a new level of refinement in his design methods and decisions. This study analyzes his structural design methods and compares them with approximated hand calculations assuming an asymmetric load on a 3-hinged parabolic arch. The maximum moment was calculated to be within 7% of Nervi's results. An arch was also explored by building a Finite Element (FE) model in SAP2000, however, the results proved the model to be an unreliable representation of the behavior of the funicular concrete arch. Furthermore, never before published construction photos give clues to the construction of the first structure built with the "Nervi System" in the United States. Slight changes were made to the construction method from his previous structures with the Nervi System in Rome. The types of different precast panels were reduced to increase repetition and refinement was made to the multi-step formwork system to reduce the amount of wooden formwork while keeping a high level of accuracy for the shape of the precast panels.

Abstract:
Yes
Here the design and functional optimisation of thermoformed thin-walled structures made from plastics is considered. Such objects are created in great numbers especially in the food packaging industry. In fact these objects are produced in such vast numbers each year, that one important task in the design of these objects is the minimisation of the amount of plastic used, subject to functional constraints. In this paper a procedure for achieving this is described, which involves the automatic optimisation of the mold shape taking into account the strength of the final object and its thickness distribution, thus reducing the need to perform inefficient and expensive `trial and error¿ experimentation using physical prototypes. An efficient technique for parameterising geometry is utilised here, enabling to create a wide variety of possible mold shapes on which appropriate analysis can be performed. The results of the analysis are used within an automatic optimisation routine enabling to find a design which satisfies user requirements. Thus, the paper describes a rational means for the automatic optimal design of composite thermoformed thin-walled structures.

Abstract:
Recent applications in the use of light gauge steel members have been concerned with developing large scale systems built entirely from cold-formed steel members. An explicit analysis of such structures is complicated by the different phenomena that the structure may be prone to during loading. In particular, elastic buckling phenomena is an important consideration in the design of such structures since the load at which buckling occurs often provides a close upper bound to the carrying capacity of the structure. The first part of this two-part thesis (Part I, Chaptersl-8) has been devoted to general methods of analysis of the torsional-flexural buckling of thin-walled structures. A review of previous investigations and the available methods of solution is presented. A general finite element formulation of the torsional-flexural buckling of thin-walled structures has been derived. The resulting elastic geometric matrix can be used to analyse structures with monosymmetrical members. It also includes the effect of sectorial-monosymmetry for cross-sections without any axis of symmetry. A general transformation matrix has been developed to allow for the application of the finite element method to the three-dimensional elastic stability analysis of space and portal frames. The validity and accuracy of the new finite element formulation have been checked by analysing a number of different elastic lateral buckling problems for which exact or highly accurate solutions by other techniques are available. An experimental program was carried out on simply supported cold-formed steel z-beams. The first part of this program was undertaken to check the validity of the finite element calculations of the bimoments caused by nonuniform torsion. The second part was devoted to elastic lateral buckling of z-beams under combined bending and torsion. The second part of this thesis (Part II, Chapter 9) deals with the analysis of hipped roof structures with corrugated steel roof sheeting. A simple theoretical model has been suggested. The model has been used to perform an elastic linear analysis of the behaviour of two types of the hipped roof structures. The theoretical results are compared with previous experimental results for these two structures.

Abstract:
Abstract In this paper, a simplified approach for the design of thin-walled laminated composite beam structures is presented. For this purpose, structural efficiency metrics have been developed that allow for the integrated selection of layup sequence, materials of construction, and cross-sectional shape of laminated composite beams. The structural efficiency metrics are plotted in design charts for axial, bending (in both cross-section’s principal directions), and torsional loading conditions. The design charts provide the designer with an accurate and efficient approach for the selection of the optimum fiber direction, number of layers in the laminate, and mass of the overall structure. The results are generated for two different sizes of envelopes to analyze various cross-sectional types and sizes. It is shown that the design charts can be applied to single open and closed loop cross sections as well as multi-cell sections. The proposed simplified approach and developed design charts have been used for increasing the bending and torsional stiffness of a laminated composite robotic arm. The results show that the design charts can be used to accurately predict stiffnesses and deformations and assist the designer in selecting the various parameters that govern the performance of laminated composite beams.

Abstract:
Abstract The transport of hazardous materials in truck cargo tanks can cause severe environmental damage as a result of the tank’s failure during a collision. Impact due to collision involves the transient dynamic response of the tank, fluid and their interaction. This paper develops a computational approach to predict the dynamic transient response of the tank shell structure subjected to impact loads during crash accidents. In order to compute the fluid and structure interaction, the finite element formulations for the added mass to the structure are developed and integrated with DYNA3D, the nonlinear dynamic structural finite element code. Thus, the computer based approach provides an efficient design tool for fluid filled thin walled structures in general and cargo tanks subjected to an impact situation. This paper presents the lumping process required by the added mass approach for cargo tanks under impact conditions. The structural integrity performance of cargo tank shell construction is investigated.

Abstract:
Modern helicopter blades are designed as thin-walled hollow structures in form of either C-spar or D-spar cross-sections. With the advent of new materials hollow designs have been implemented to reduce the overall weight of the structure. A D-spar is a rotor blade cross-section that is hollow in nature with a single vertical spar used to carry a large portion of the stresses otherwise carried by the skin [1]. The vertical spar is normally located between the leading edge and half of the chord length. The remaining volume aft of the vertical spar can either be hollow or filled with a honeycomb structure. The honeycomb structure increases the cross-sectional stiffness. Figure 1. shows an example of a common D-spar with a honeycomb structure aft of the vertical spar [2]. Due to new manufacturing methods the D-spar has now become common place in helicopter design [3]. A C-spar cross-section is very similar to the D-spar cross-section in design and construction. The C-spar cross-section does not have the honeycomb structure and the spar. The structural load is offset by more lamina layers towards the leading edge of the cross-section [4,5]. The thin-walled structure is comprised of many layers of composite materials such as fiberglass or carbon fibers. There has been extensive research into D-spar cross-section while there is a lack of studies for C-spar cross-sections [1,3,4].

Abstract:
Abstract The objective of this study is to characterize the trade space for the structural design of small uncrewed aerial vehicle wings fabricated using Material Extrusion Additive Manufacturing, specifically the trade-off between maintaining the wing external shape while minimizing its internal structure. Beam bending analysis shows that the structural requirements associated with flight loads are easily met with a single perimeter extrusion monocoque construction, however this approach leads to large, unsupported, thin-walled structures that can deform during the build process, creating a potential need for additional structure to maintain wing shape. To characterize the relationship between structure/weight and wing deformation, wing sections were fabricated with varying internal structures for two airfoil shapes. Weight and 3-D laser measurements were taken of the printed parts to capture the final as-built geometry. The as-built geometries were then compared to the as-designed geometries to quantify the deformation, and a coupled viscous-inviscid flow solver was used to determine the aerodynamic effects. The results indicate that while significant aerodynamic performance penalties exist for the monocoque construction, a small amount of well-placed internal structure provides sufficient improvement at minimal weight penalty. Results also showed that less internal structure is required to minimize deformation for an airfoil with larger initial curvature.

Abstract:
Static deflection and free nonlinear vibrations of thin square plate made of biological material are investigated. The involved physical nonlinearity is described through Neo-Hookean, Mooney-Rivlin and Ogden hyperelastic laws; geometrical nonlinearity is modeled by Novozhilov nonlinear shell theory. The problem is solved by sequentially constructing the local models that describe the behavior of plate in the vicinity of a certain static configuration. These models are the systems of ordinary differential equations with quadratic and cubic nonlinear terms in displacement, which allows application of techniques used in analysis of thin-walled structures of physically linear materials. The comparison of static and dynamic results obtained with different material models is carried out.

Abstract:
Abstract To enable the development of design-for-manufacturability tools for thin-walled mechanical components, converters are needed to convert design representations of components into representations with which manufacturability evaluations can be performed. In our work components are designed with features and represented as graphs. Conversely, manufacturing representations consist of manufacturing features, that in general are different than design features. Thus, the problem of converting feature-based representations arises. In this paper, manufacturing features are defined using graph grammars which provide a general, formal, structured description of how to convert features. Unfortunately, using graph grammar parsing as the basis for conversion is not computationally viable due to the nature of graph isomorphism determination. By taking advantage of the known structure of design representations and of manufacturing features, and by utilizing AI techniques for efficient pattern-matchers, it is shown that efficient converters can be constructed that do not require graph isomorphism determination. Conditions are given for the construction of polynomial time converters and a general conversion module is presented. An example converter is illustrated for tooling cost evaluation in injection molding and die casting.

Abstract:
This research discourse presents the development of a holistic mathematical model that is dedicated to showcase a set of analytical expressions for predicting global stiffness (axial stiffness, bending stiffness) and a material response characterization based on ply-per-ply in-plane stress investigations relevant to open-celled multidirectional curved cylindrical shell configurations. Additionally, the analytical model is shown to present the capability to mathematically determine the location of the centroid for thin-walled, composite cylindrical shells. The resulting centroidal expression for a composite system is essentially shown to be a primary function of material properties, composite stacking sequence, fiber orientation angle and the structural geometry as opposed to metal counterparts whose centroidal point is solely governed by their geometry. Analytical stress estimates are computed for thin-walled curved cylindrical shell constructions that are subjected to typical tension and longitudinal bending type loading conditions applied at the centroid under the presence and absence of a uniformly distributed thermal loading environment. A broad parametric investigation on the in-plane ply stresses (σx,σy,τxy) are conducted via choosing three fundamental parameters namely; varying mean radius of curvature, changing laminate thickness-to-mean radius ratio and increasing laminate thickness respectively. Three preferentially tailored variabilities in ply stacking sequence are established from a [(±45° / 0°]s symmetric-balanced composite lay-up to illustrate the effects on ply stresses. An ANSYS based finite element analysis scheme is employed to numerically determine the location of centroid and further substantiate the analytically acquired centroid predictions including and excluding the effects of temperature. The centroidal point is identified and its location is progressively reported for a fully open cross-sectioned curved strip to a fully closed cylindrical composite tube configuration by examining their distribution pattern as a function of circumferential arc angle (2α). FE tool is additionally utilized to compare the analytical stiffness predictions and analyze the validity of the in-plane analytical stress estimates. Excellent agreement is achieved in comparison between analytical solutions and computationally generated FE results. The central goal of this work is to demonstrate the potential of the formulated mathematical framework in accurately predicting the key mechanical attributes that dictates the structural behavior of curved composite shell members. This analytical model is designed to serve as a robustly efficient tool towards assisting structural design engineers in quickly gaining a broad fundamental understanding on the physical characteristics and structural response of such configurations by accurately conducting simple parametric studies during preliminary design phase prior to performing complex FE analyses.

Abstract:
Abstract High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor is considered as one of the most advanced reactors in the GEN-IV reactor system with inherent safety and high generating efficiency. Now, the project of High Temperature Reactor Pebble bed Module (HTR-PM) designed by Tsinghua university is going to finish construction. The first products of nuclear fuel elements have been transported to the Shidao Bay NPP that is ready to provide fuel power for a subsequent grid-connected generation. HTR-PM employs spherical fuel elements instead of common fuel assemblies. They have significant differences in geometry, structure, and mechanical property. The existing transfer cask for fuel assemblies doesn’t seem appropriate anymore. Therefore, it is necessary to find a new cask to meet this demand for nuclear fuel. One of the most important things is the application of lightweight technology which can promote transport efficiency and enhance the economy. Besides, referring to the safety code required by IAEA, the procedure of radioactive material transportation is strictly controlled, hence we should pay attention to both lightweight and safety. Research has focused on the new energy-absorbing structure and performance. In this paper, we concentrate on cushioning effect of the thin-walled metal box with foam, rather than the normal structure of metal tube filled with foam. This structure will be assembled in one special type of nuclear fuel container to provide energy-absorbing and cushioning effect. The shape of foam specimen is cuboid, and the metal material is attached to it. First of all, we investigate the drop ball test. This study takes two sets of control group. One is a thin-walled box without foam, the other only has foam. Compared with the control group, the cushioning effect of energy-absorbing box is investigated. Secondly, the energy-absorbing structure is tied with the steel block and drop them from 9m height. Then sensitive analysis has been conducted to study the effect of design parameters and multi-work condition, to reveal some empirical regularities. This paper intends to provide important design experiences and references for energy-absorbing structure of nuclear fuel cask.

Abstract:
Large diameter cylindrical structures are a kind of large-diameter thin-walled structures which are suitable for a verity of coastal projects such as embankments, breakwaters, wharfs and sea cofferdams. The amount of cylinder material per meter is independent of the cylinder diameter, and the bearing capacities of the structure, especially the horizontal and moment bearing capacities, increase with the increase of its diameter. This kind of structure is economic, reliable and easy to construct. In construction, multiple vibration hammers are installed at the upper part of the cylinder, and as the hammers vibrate synchronously, the soil adjacent to the cylinder wall is disturbed, allowing the large cylinder to sink under its dead weight. The prospect for applying this kind of structure in soft foundation is bright. However, due to the complexity of the interaction mechanism between the large cylinder, internal sand and saturated soft soil foundation, the bearing characteristics of sand-filled large cylindrical structures in soft foundation, especially the effect of the internal sand on the bearing capacities, are not clear. In this paper, the effects of internal sand filling height, foundation depth and soil undrained shear strength on the uniaxial capacities and the failure mechanism of sand-filled large cylindrical structures are studied via finite element numerical analysis. Meanwhile, uniaxial capacities of sand-filled large cylindrical structures are compared with those of suction bucket foundations and non-sand-filled large cylindrical structures in identical conditions. In addition, approximating expressions for calculating the bearing capacities of sand-filled large cylindrical structures are proposed to provide reference for the design of such structures.
