Simplified Finite Element Model

A numerical investigation of the monotonic and cyclic behaviour of steel gusset plate connections is conducted using a nonlinear finite element model. Successive versions of the model, which include the effects of framing member stiffness, nonlinear material behaviour, initial imperfections, and bolt slip, are formulated and validated by comparison with test results. A parametric study is then conducted to examine the effects of the load sequence and the interaction between the gusset plate and the brace member under cyclic loading. This investigation demonstrates that the cyclic behaviour of gusset plate connections can be modelled accurately using a simplified finite element model. Gusset plate – brace member subassemblies, wherein the gusset plate is designed as the weak element in compression rather than the brace member, are shown to have stable behaviour under cyclic loading and better energy absorption characteristics than similar subassemblies with the brace member designed as the weak element in compression.Key words: steel, connections, gusset plates, cyclic loading, concentric bracing, buckling.

Beneficial Property

ABSTRACT The benefits of a tire's equilibrium profile have been suggested by several authors in the published literature, and mathematical procedures were developed that represented well the behavior of bias ply tires. However, for modern belted radial ply tires, and particularly those with a lower aspect ratio, the tire constructions are much more complicated and pose new problems for a mathematical analysis. Solutions to these problems are presented in this paper, and for a modern radial touring tire the equilibrium profile was calculated together with the mold profile to produce such tires. Some construction modifications were then applied to these tires to render their profiles “nonequilibrium.” Finite element methods were used to analyze for stress concentrations and deformations within all tires that did or did not conform to equilibrium profiles. Finally, tires were built and tested to verify the predictions of these analyses. From the analysis of internal stresses and deformations on inflation and loading and from the actual tire tests, the superior durability of tires with an equilibrium profile was established, and hence it is concluded that an equilibrium profile is a beneficial property of modern belted radial ply tires.
