Definition of Static Nonlinear Procedure and Flexibility-Based Model with Application on 2D Model for an Existing Structure and Comparing Results with Time History Analysis (pages 61-90)

Mourad Belgasmia

This chapter presents in one hand the definition of the pushover procedure based on Eurocode 8, and displacement based and force base elements which will be used in this study, and the application of the pushover procedure based to...

Chapter 4

Experiments on a Ring Tension Setup and FE Analysis to Evaluate Transverse Mechanical Properties of Tubular Components (pages 91-115)

M.K. Samal, K.S. Balakrishnan

Determination of transverse mechanical properties from ring specimens machined from tubular components is not straightforward due to presence of combined tension and bending stresses. Zircaloy tubes as used in nuclear reactors are...

Chapter 5

Dynamic Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbine Structures (pages 116-191)

Arundhuti Banerjee, Tanusree Chakraborty, Vasant Matsagar, Tushar Kanti Datta

Wind turbines are slender flexible structures susceptible to strong wind fluctuations. The flexible wind turbine structure, when subjected to strong dynamic forces, it leads to an ideal condition for induced vibrations and resonance...

Chapter 6

Seismic Reliability Analysis in the Framework of Metamodelling Based Monte Carlo Simulation (pages 192-208)

Shyamal Ghosh, Soham Mitra, Swarup Ghosh, Subrata Chakraborty

A comparative study of various metamodelling approaches namely the least squares method (LSM), moving least squares method (MLSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) based response surface method (RSM) are presented to demonstrate...

Chapter 7

Finite Element Analysis of Pipe Bends under External Loads (pages 209-238)

Sumesh S., A. R. Veerappan, S. Shanmugam

Pipelines are being used to convey different sorts of fluids from hazardous and toxic substances to high pressure steam. Piping systems are subjected to various external loads leading to major failures with gross plastic deformation....

Chapter 8

Fuzzy Structural Analysis Using Surrogate Models (pages 239-265)

A. S. Balu, B. N. Rao

The exponential growth of computational power during the last few decades has enabled the finite element analysis of many real-life engineering systems which are too complex to be analytically solved in a closed form. In the...

Chapter 9

FE Analysis and Experimental Investigation of Cracked and Un-Cracked Thin-Walled Tubular Components to Evaluate Mechanical and Fracture Properties (pages 266-293)

M.K. Samal

For investigation of fracture behavior and assessment of remaining life of critical thin-walled tubular components in industry, the transverse mechanical property and the axial fracture properties are essential. However, evaluation...

Chapter 10

MARS and Neural Network Models for Shear Strength Prediction of Squat Reinforced Concrete Walls: Shear Strength of Squat Reinforced Concrete Walls (pages 294-327)

Anthony T.C. Goh, Wengang Zhang

Squat walls are widely used in structural engineering. The empirical equations currently used to calculate the peak shear strength of squat walls do not correlate well with the experimental results. Another limitation is the reliance...

Chapter 11

Nonlinear System Identification of Smart Buildings (pages 328-347)

Soroush Mohammadzadeh, Yeesock Kim

In this book chapter, a system identification method for modeling nonlinear behavior of smart buildings is discussed that has a significantly low computation time. To reduce the size of the training data used for the adaptive...

Chapter 12

Polynomial Correlated Function Expansion (pages 348-373)

Souvik Chakraborty, Rajib Chowdhury

Uncertainty quantification of civil engineering structures are often time consuming. Hence, one has to rely on equivalent models (EM) that represent the original functions with a specific level of accuracy. In this chapter, a fully...

Chapter 13

Prevention of Corrosion in Austenitic Stainless Steel through a Predictive Numerical Model Simulating Grain Boundary Chromium Depletion (pages 374-389)

M.K. Samal

In this chapter, a mathematical model for rate of formation of chromium carbides near the grain boundary, which is a pre-cursor to chromium depletion and corresponding sensitization behavior in stainless steels, is presented. This...

Chapter 14

Risk Analysis of Structural Engineering Systems Using Bayesian Inference (pages 390-424)

Sharvil Alex Faroz, Nikil Narayan Pujari, Rohit Rastogi, Siddhartha Ghosh

Engineering phenomena described through models come with uncertainties arising out of the modelling assumptions and observational statistical discrepancies. A probabilistic framework helps in quantifying the uncertainties involved....

Chapter 15

Simulating Post-Earthquake Fire Loading in Conventional RC Structures (pages 425-444)

Behrouz Behnam

Post-earthquake fire (PEF) is one of the most complicated problems resulting from earthquake, presenting a serious risk to urban buildings. As most standards and codes ignore the possibility of PEF, buildings are too weak under PEF...

Chapter 16

Structural Integrity Assessment and Control of Ageing Onshore and Offshore Structures (pages 445-476)
