  • Influence of Uncertainties in Terrestrial Laser Scanning on Structural Reliability and Bridge Load Rating - Finite Element Models (FEM)

    Creator:
    Loving, Carly K.
    Abstract:
    This dataset includes the finite element models (FEMs) used for the MS Thesis entitled: Influence of Uncertainties in Terrestrial Laser Scanning on Structural Reliability and Bridge Load Rating by Carly K. Loving. These FEMs were created in SAP 2000 and contain models from both thesis manuscripts. The following lists summarizes...

  • Numerical Simulations and Microscale Analyses of Offshore Anchor-Granular Material Systems

    Creator:
    Zhang, Nan
    Abstract:
    Anchoring systems are used to hold floating offshore devices (e.g., energy devices, oil platforms) to keep them on their stations. Anchors are embedded into the seabed soils. In some cases, the interface shear between anchor and seabed soils together with anchor self-weight provide the holding capacity of the anchoring systems....

  • Fluid-structure interaction analysis with the particle finite element method

    Creator:
    Zhu, Minjie
    Abstract:
    To facilitate the evaluation and design of structures subjected to fluid loading, a study of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) using the particle finite element method (PFEM) is presented to approximate the responses and sensitivities of structures which interact with fluid. A wide range of structural types are permissible by making no...

  • Finite element modeling of gusset plate failure using OpenSees

    Creator:
    Walker, Andrew J.
    Abstract:
    The collapse of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis, MN in 2007 prompted an investigation into the design and inspection of the steel truss bridges. Further investigation into the collapse revealed that a gusset plate experienced sway buckling, causing the bridge failure. This bridge failure motivated research into the analysis and...

  • A numerical wave tank based on coupled potential flow-viscous flow model

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yi
    Abstract:
    In this study, a coupled potential flow-viscous flow model is used for numerical wave tank simulation. The solver satisfies all the requirements for such a simulation environment. The coupling scheme is based on a non-overlapping heterogeneous domain decomposition method. In this method, the flow domain consists of two subdomains. In...
