Segmental arch is a structure made of several straight segments of precast concrete, connected at points belonging to a curve in the form of an arch which circumscribes the structure. This work presents a study of the effects of height to span ratio, number of segments and initial geometric imperfections on the arch stability. The study was carried out with a computational model based on the finite element method. The model takes into account material and geometric non-linearities, and concrete cracking.

It was found that the optimal height to span ratio value is 0,3, the number of segments affects the behaviour of three-hinged arches and that geometric imperfections can drastically decrease the arch load capacity.

Keywords: segmental arch, reinforced concrete, stability, critical load, limit point and bifurcation point. arco segmentado, concreto armado, estabilidade, carga crítica.

This work deals with up dated Lagrangean formulation to analyse geometric non-linear plane trusses and frames, using finite elements. The equilibrium is enforced at the actual position, allowing to compute internal efforts using the true displacement field. Appropriate shape functions are adopted to each type of element, giving therefore the corresponding normal strain component represented by the complete Green-Lagrange tensor. For the truss formulation, all terms are taken into account to derive the global stiffness matrix, while for frames, some terms of higher orders have been neglected. The Lagrangean formulation is used to write the equilibrium at the position giving the final tangent and secant incremental stiffness matrices. Static and dynamic numerical examples are shown to illustrate the accuracy of the proposed formulation.

A elastoplastic analysis by non-linear Mathematical Programming is developed for thin and thick bending plates, under small deformations. The Finite Element Method is used to discretize the model. The equilibrium equations at the structural level are solved by a conventional Newton-Raphson technique. The elastoplastic constitutive problem is stated for stress variables at Gauss points of the discretized structure as a Mathematical Programming problem. The strength criteria proposed by Johansen and Velasco are used in this work. The tangent consistent matrix is used to update the elastoplastic stiffness matrix. A Newton-like interior point method is used to solve the Mathematical Programming problem.

This paper presents a finite element formulation of multilayered orthotropic beams for static analysis. This formulation is developed based on a transverse shear deformation theory which accounts piecewise linear distribution across the interfaces between the layers of the displacement u and satisfies the contact conditions at the interfaces. The element is quite versatile and it can be used to analyse not only thin beams with negligible shear deformation but also thick beams and beams of sandwich construction in which shear effect is important. Numerical examples are worked out to complete the theoretical formulation.

This work presents an analysis of a vehicle seat under dynamic load, during a colision. From the deformated seat after the colision, we determine the probable vehicle velocity just before the acident, using simple models, system dynamic tools and some engineering analysis procedures. We describe our methodology and discuss our analysis showing the most important results.

The effectiveness of using piezoelectric elements to control the mechanical performance of laminated structures by inducing favorable in-plane stresses is investigated. A finite element formulation is presented for the analysis of laminated Timoshenko beams with an arbitrary number of piezoelectric actuators and/or sensors placed along the length of the beam. Von Kàrmàn non-linear strain-displacement relations are used and ideal linear behavior is assumed for the piezoelectric actuation. It is shown that with proper boundary conditions the piezoelectric actuators induce in-plane stresses that may significantly affect the mechanical behavior of the beam. It is shown that the stress stiffening is more pronounced for slender beams. A configuration with a piezoelectric actuator at the top of a slender beam and a sensor at the bottom is analyzed. It is demonstrated that neglecting the stress stiffening effects may lead to large errors in both the static and dynamic analyses of this widely used configuration. Further, the stiffness of the beam can be electrically tuned to a desired value with interesting applications in active structures.

Keywords: Piezoelectric, finite elements, stress stiffening, vibration.

Axisymmetric static and frequency analyses of anisotropic cylindrical shells with one and two perfectly bonded ring piezoactuators are performed. The shell is assumed to be linear elastic and made of laminated composite materials. The electroelastic constitutive relations for the piezoelectric materials are also assumed to be linear. A simple closed-form solution of the equilibrium equations is obtained for the case of a infinite shell with one or two actuators. The finite element method with class C1 continuity elements is then applied to obtain the stiffness and mass matrices required for the static and dynamic analyses of arbitrary cylindrical shells with piezoelectric actuators. Good agreement is reached between the analytical solution found and the numerical procedure implemented. Results indicate that the maximum normalized displacement and its location vary according to the actuator length. Furthermore, a frequency analysis is carried on in a broad range of frequencies to investigate the effect of mass properties on the response of a simply supported cylindrical shell.

In the present work, that deals with the dynamic analysis of plates by using the finite elements method, there were used commun elements for structures in bending.In order to work the structures of plates under the action of follower forces and internal damping, it was necessary study plate problems with different boundary conditions, so that loss of stability could be studied. This study proves the destabilizing effect of low internal damping coefficients at plates, for this used graphs and tables for different critical loads values.

The behaviour of framed structures with semi-rigid connections subjected to dynamic loads is studied. Attention is given to the effect of joint flexibility on the natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes, as well as on the dynamic displacements and generalised stresses. The flexible connections are represented by zero-length rotational springs with linear moment-rotation relationship. The mass and stiffness matrices are developed as the sum of the conventional finite element matrices and correction matrices which incorporate the flexibility of the end joints. The problem of forced vibrations is then solved by means of the modal superposition method or, alternatively, by numerical integration of the motion equations. Numerical results are presented and it is shown that the consideration of semi-rigid connections alters significantly the dynamic behaviour of the structure.
