  • Polar analysis of beam-columns for aircraft

    Creator:
    Jones, Walter Richard
    Abstract:
    The analysis of a member carrying a combination of lateral and axial loads (a "beam-column") is a problem of frequent occurrence in aircraft structural design. This thesis presents the derivation and application of the Polar method, both analytical and graphical. The method was first suggested in Germany, several years later...

  • Nonlinear finite-element modeling of intercomponent connections in light-frame wood structures

    Creator:
    Groom, Kevin
    Abstract:
    Nailed connections have nonlinear load-displacement relations. Modeling these connections in an assembled structure would require a great amount of computational time because of the large number of degrees of freedom. Replacing these connections with energetically-equivalent nonlinear springs reduces the number of degrees of freedom, and leads to computational efficiency in...
