Influence Of Joint Compliance On The Behaviour Of Space Structures
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-03-06)
Space structures are inevitable while covering large spans. Space structures are skeletal structures, which are lighter for the same stiffness when compared with RCC roofs. Till now, space structures, like any other metal ...
Methods For Forward And Inverse Problems In Nonlinear And Stochastic Structural Dynamics
(2009-09-03)
A main thrust of this thesis is to develop and explore linearization-based numeric-analytic integration techniques in the context of stochastically driven nonlinear oscillators of relevance in structural dynamics. ...
Numerical Analysis Of Large Size Horizontal Strip Anchors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-03-23)
Structures like transmission towers, tele-communication masts, dry-docks, tall chimneys, tunnels and burried pipelines under water etc are subjected to considerable uplift forces. The net effect of external loading on the ...
Novel Sub-Optimal And Particle Filtering Strategies For Identification Of Nonlinear Structural Dynamical Systems
(2009-09-15)
Development of dynamic state estimation techniques and their applications in problems of identification in structural engineering have been taken up. The thrust of the study has been the identification of structural systems ...
Fracture Of Plain Concrete Beams Via Fractals
(2009-09-02)
The quantitative description of rough fracture surfaces of concrete has been an important challenge for many years. Looking at the fracture surface of a concrete specimen, one realizes that the self-affine geometry of crack ...
Localization Induced Base Isolation In Fractionally And Hysteretically Damped Nonlinear Systems
(2009-08-04)
This Thesis comprises of two parts containing similar studies of Nonlinear Localization induced Base Isolation of structural systems. The present method of base isolation,like other nonlinear vibration isolation methods, ...
Vibration Analysis Of Structures Built Up Of Randomly Inhomogeneous Curved And Straight Beams Using Stochastic Dynamic Stiffness Matrix Method
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-19)
Uncertainties in load and system properties play a significant role in reliability analysis of vibrating structural systems. The subject of random vibrations has evolved over the last few decades to deal with uncertainties ...
Low-Order Laminated Lock-Free Beam And Plate Elements Based On Coupled Displacement Field
(2007-10-23)
This study aims to investigate the behaviour of low-order beam and plate elements especially for their application to laminated structures. The merits and dements of the existing elements are brought out and new low-order ...
A Study On The Predictive Optimal Active Control Of Civil Engineering Structures
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-18)
Uncertainty involved in the safe and comfort design of the structures is a major concern of civil engineers. Traditionally, the uncertainty has been overcome by utilizing various and relatively large safety factors for ...
