Stress Intensity Factor in Artificially Damaged Structures
Abstract: The presence of cracks in macrostructures creates heterogeneity which manifests itself by a change of the state of stress and strain in the structure. A crack in vibrating structures can lead to premature failure if it is not detected in time. Researchers have been working on the dynamics of cracked structures for decades to be able to monitor the structure and diagnose that fault at the earliest possible stage. In …

Numerical Study on the Effect of Ball Baffles in Reducing Sloshing Loads in Ship Tanks
Abstract: Sloshing is the free surface motion of a liquid in a partially filled container under periodic motion. Liquid sloshing will result in dynamic pressure on the walls of the container causing large deformations to the tank as well as the supporting structures and carrier. This dynamic pressure on the tank walls due to slosh waves are conventionally mitigated in the tanks of very large crude oil carrier (VLCC) ships by …

Investigation of Seismic Pounding Effect on Symmetric 10 Storey Reinforced Concrete Buildings Using SAP2000
Abstract: ABSTRACT Earthquakes have historically been responsible for significant structural failures, often resulting in substantial economic losses and endangering human lives. One notable failure mechanism observed during seismic activity is seismic pounding, which occurs when adjacent buildings collide due to insufficient separation gaps. This phenomenon is particularly concerning in densely populated urban areas where space constraints often prevent the provision of adequate clearances between structures. Such impacts can lead to severe …
