Collaboration amongst team members seperated in time and location is of particular importance. Two broad themes can be recognized in research pertaining to distributed collaboration. One theme focusses on the technical and technological aspects of distributed work, while the other emphasises human aspects thereof. The case of finite element structural analysis in a distributed collaboratory is examined in this paper. An approach is taken which has its roots in human aspects of the structural analysis task. Based on experience of how structural engineers currently approach and execute this task while utilising standard software designed for use on local workstations only, criteria are stated for a software architechture that could support collaborative structural analysis. Aspects of a pilot application and the results of qualitative performance measurements are discussed.}, subject = {Ingenieurbau}, language = {en} } @article{PickHeimsundMilbradt2004, author = {Pick, Tobias and Heimsund, Bjoern-Ove and Milbradt, Peter}, title = {Development and Analysis of Sparse Matrix Concepts for Finite Element Approximation on general Cells}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.250}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2500}, year = {2004}, abstract = {In engineering and computing, the finite element approximation is one of the most well-known computational solution techniques. It is a great tool to find solutions for mechanic, fluid mechanic and ecological problems. Whoever works with the finite element method will need to solve a large system of linear equations. There are different ways to find a solution. One way is to use a matrix decomposition technique such as LU or QR. The other possibility is to use an iterative solution algorithm like Conjugate Gradients, Gauß-Seidel, Multigrid Methods, etc. This paper will focus on iterative solvers and the needed storage techniques...}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} } @article{NohPark2004, author = {Noh, Jung-Hwi and Park, Jong-Heon}, title = {A Calculation of Initial Cable Force for Ko-Ha Grand Bridge}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.245}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2459}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The primary objective of initial shape analysis of a cable stayed bridge is to calculate initial installation cable tension forces and to evaluate fabrication camber of main span and pylon providing the final longitudinal profile of the bridge at the end of construction.

A compatible 18-node wedge element with linear stress variation is developed as an alternative to the brick element. The shape of this element type is readily adapted to the shape of the contact plane.

A simple numerical modeling technique is proposed for estimating the shear-lag phenomenon in tube structures with multiple internal tubes. The proposed method idealizes the framed-tube structures with multiple internal tubes as equivalent multiple tubes, each composed of four equivalent orthotropic plate panels. The numerical analysis is based on the minimum potential energy principle in conjunction with the variational approach. The shear-lag phenomenon of such structures is studied taking into account the additional bending moments in the tubes. A detailed work is carried out through the numerical analysis of the additional bending moment. The moment factor is further introduced to identify the shear lag phenomenon along with the additional moment.}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} } @article{KwakKim2004, author = {Kwak, Hyo-Gyoung and Kim, Jin-Kook}, title = {Efficient Shoring System in RC Frame Structures}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.251}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2511}, year = {2004}, abstract = {In this paper, systematic analyses for the shoring systems installed to support the applied loads during construction are performed on the basis of the numerical approach. On the basis of a rigorous time-dependent analysis, structural behaviors of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures according to the changes in design variables such as the types of shoring systems, shore stiffness and shore spacing are analyzed and discussed. The time-dependent deformations of concrete such as creep and shrinkage and construction sequences of frame structures are also taken into account to minimize the structural instability and to reach to an improved design of shoring system because these effects may increase the axial forces delivered to the shores. In advance, the influence of the column shortening effect, generally mentioned in a tall building structure, is analyzed. From many parametric studies, it has been finally concluded that the most effective shoring system in RC frame structures is 2S1R (two shores and one reshore) regardless of the changes in design variables.}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} }
