The structures considered are described in terms of an equivalent Finite Element model, the stochastic properties, like e.g. the scatter of the material behavior or the incoming load, are represented using suitable random variables. Within the software framework, a Client-Server-Architecture has been implemented, employing the middleware CORBA for the communication between the distributed modules. The analysis server offers the possibility to compute failure probabilities for stochastically defined structures. Therefore, several different approximation (FORM, SORM) and simulation methods (Monte Carlo Simulation and Importance Sampling) have been implemented. This paper closes in showing several examples computed on the analysis server.}, subject = {Konzipieren }, language = {en} } @article{GalffyWellmannJelicHartmann2004, author = {Galffy, Mozes and Wellmann Jelic, Andres and Hartmann, Dietrich}, title = {Lifetime-oriented modelling of vortex-induced across-wind vibrations on bridge tie rods}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.253}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2536}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The influence of vortex-induces vibrations on vertical tie rods has been proved as a determinant load factor in the lifetime-oriented dimensioning of arched steel bridges. Particularly, the welded connection plates between the suspenders and the arches often exhibit cracks induced primarily rods. In this context, the synchronization of the vortex-shedding to the rod motion in a critical wind velocity range, the so-called lock-in effect, is of essential interest.}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} }
