Guan QUAN (Signature of candidate) 28th August, 2016 II ABSTRACT The investigation of the collapse of “7 World Trade” as part of the events of 11 September 2001 in New York City (Gann, 2008) indicated that connections were among the most vulnerable elements of steel-framed or composite buildings, and their characteristics can determine whether such buildings survive in extreme scenarios such as fire. In this case total collapse of the building was triggered by the fracture of beam-to-column connections caused largely by thermal expansion of long-span beams. This emphasized the importance of investigating the complex mechanisms through which forces are transferred from the adjacent parts of a structure to the connections under fire conditions. The Cardington fire tests in 1995-96 (Newman, 2000) provided ample evidence that both shear buckling of beam webs and beam bottom-flange buckling, near to the ends of steel beams, are very prevalent under fire conditions. Both of these phenomena could affect the force distribution at the adjacent column-face connection bolt rows, and therefore the sequence of fracture of components. However, there is a distinct lack of practical research investigating the post-buckling behaviour of beams of Classes 1 and 2 sections adjacent to connections at elevated temperatures. In this PhD thesis, the development of analytical models of pure beam-web shear buckling and a combination of both beam-web shear buckling and bottom-flange buckling of beams of Classes 1 and 2 sections are reported. The analytical models are able to predict the post-buckling behaviour of the beam-end buckling panels in the vicinity of beam-column connections at elevated temperatures. A transition criterion, to distinguish between cases in which pure beam-web shear buckling occurs and those in which the instability is a combination of shear buckling and bottom-flange buckling, III has been proposed, including a calculation procedure to detect the transition length between these two buckling modes. A component-based buckling element has been created and implemented in the three-dimensional structural fire analysis software Vulcan. The influence of the buckling elements on the bolt row force redistribution of the adjacent connections has been investigated in isolated beams and a simple two- span two-floor frame. It is expected that the buckling element will be involved in more complex performance-based frame analysis for design, and that it will be used with an explicit dynamic procedure to simulate local and progressive collapse of whole buildings.

The deflection of a cantilever beam is essentially a three dimensional problem. An elastic stretching in one direction is accompanied by a compression in perpendicular directions. In this project ,static and Modal analysis is a process to determine the stress ,strain and deformation. vibration characteristics (natural frequencies and mode shapes) of a structure or a machine component while it is being designed. It has become a major alternative to provide a helpful contribution in understanding control of many vibration phenomena which encountered in practice. In this work we compared the stress and natural frequency for different material having same I, C and T cross- sectional beam. The cantilever beam is designed and analyzed in ANSYS. The cantilever beam which is fixed at one end is vibrated to obtain the natural frequency, mode shapes and deflection with different sections and materials. INTRODUCTION BEAM A beam is a structural element that is capable of withstanding load primarily by resisting against bending. The bending force induced into the material of the beam as a result of the external loads, own weight, span and external reactions to these loads is called a bending moment.

  • Module -4 Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams
    Mechanics of Materials 18MEI33 Module -4 Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams Syllabus Introduction, Types of beams, loads and reactions, shear forces and bending moments, rate of loading, sign conventions, relationship between shear force and bending moments. Shear force and bending moment diagrams for different beams subjected to concentrated loads, uniformly distributed load, (UDL) uniformly varying load (UVL) and couple for different types of beams. INTRODUCTION Shear and bending moment diagrams are analytical tools used in conjunction with structural analysis to help perform structural design by determining the value of shear force and bending moment at a given point of a structural element such as a beam. These diagrams can be used to easily determine the type, size, and material of a member in a structure so that a given set of loads can be supported without structural failure. Another application of shear and moment diagrams is that the deflection of a beam can be easily determined using either the moment area method or the conjugate beam method. The algebraic sum of the vertical forces at any section of a beam to the right or left of the section is known as shear force. It is briefly written as S.F. The algebraic sum of the moments of all the forces acting to the right or left of the section is known as bending moment. It is written as B.M. In this chapter, the shear force and bending moment diagrams for different types of beams (i.e., cantilevers, simply supported, fixed, overhanging etc.) for different types of loads (i.e., point load, uniformly distributed loads, varying loads etc.) acing on the beams, will be considered.

Tech. Scholar, 2Assistant Professor Structural Engineering CBS Group of Institutions Abstract: The proposed Euler-Bernoulli Beam Vibration technique and wavelet spectral finite element methodology may both meet the criteria. Sites chosen for effect, participation, and results Wavelets are being used for the first time in many years. Mechanics engineering issues are addressed and evaluated utilising the wavelet transform. Mechanical reaction studies to extract model parameters, noises, damage evaluations, and so on; solution of mechanical system differential equations, transformation, and wave propagation problems utilising wavelets. Aspects of structural dynamics that deal with lower frequencies, such as vibration, cover a broad variety of subjects in addition to those previously mentioned. Instead of being created by high-frequency excitations and including high-frequency excitation research, the study of Kilohertz transient responses is produced by low-frequency excitations and using low-frequency excitations. When it comes to wavelet analysis, the main focus is on wavelet-based spectrum analysis of wave propagation. The review paer used a simulation method to create a numerical approach to validate their findings. Keywords: Euler- Bernoulli Beam, Wavelet Spectral Finite Element (WSFE), Numerical Approach I. INTRODUCTION Wavelets have been in the for a long time. In engineering mechanical difficulties, the wavelet transform is utilized to solve and evaluate problems. The application a variety of including analyses of mechanical responses to extract model parameters, noises, damage measurements, and so on, and solution for mechanical system differential equations; solving transformation and solving and wave propagation problems with wavelets.
