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...

Element Modeling of Gusset Plate Failure Using Opensees Abstract approved: Michael H. Scott
Application of digital image correlation in material parameter estimation and vibration analysis of carbon fiber composite and aluminum plates

Creator:

Chuang, Chih-Lan Jasmine

Abstract:

Identifying material parameters in composite plates is a necessary first step in a variety of structural applications. For example, understanding the material parameters of carbon fiber composite is important in investigating sensor and actuator placement on micro-air-vehicle wings for control and wing morphing purposes. Knowing the material parameters can also...

Failure analysis of pre-notched composite laminated plates under four-point bending conditions

Creator:

Arias Gonzales, Sergio

Abstract:

Ever since composite laminate technology was introduced into the aerospace and automotive industry, there has been a need to fully understand the damage progression experienced by composite laminated plates in the presence of a notch. While numerous research studies have been conducted on this matter when subjected to in-plane loads,...
