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{MironovPahl2004, author = {Mironov, Vadim and Pahl, Peter Jan}, title = {A Prismatic Finite Element for Accurate Arch Dam Analysis}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.246}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2467}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The displacements and stresses in arch dams and their abutments are frequently determined with 20-node brick elements. The elements are distorted near the contact plane between the wall and the abutment. A cantilever beam testbed has been developed to investigate the consequences of this distortion. It is shown that the deterioration of the accuracy in the computed stresses is significant. 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. It is shown that the accuracy of the computed stresses in the vicinity of the contact plane is improved significantly by the use of wedge elements.}, 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.

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} } @inproceedings{BaitschHartmann2004, author = {Baitsch, Matthias and Hartmann, Dietrich}, title = {Object Oriented Finite Element Analysis for Structural Optimization using p-Elements}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.108}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1089}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The optimization of continuous structures requires careful attention to discretization errors. Compared to ordinary low order formulation (h-elements) in conjunction with an adaptive mesh refinement in each optimization step, the use of high order finite elements (so called p-elements) has several advantages. However, compared to the h-method a higher order finite element analysis program poses higher demands from a software engineering point of view. In this article the basics of an object oriented higher order finite element system especially tailored to the use in structural optimization is presented. Besides the design of the system, aspects related to the employed implementation language Java are discussed.}, subject = {Konzipieren }, language = {en} }
