Numerical Prediction of Shear Modulus of Multi-Layer PUF Cored Sandwich Composites
Abstract: The present numerical investigation was mainly concerned with the evaluation of apparent shear modulus (Gc) of multi-layered polyurethane foam cored sandwich beams using a novel approach through the medium of general purpose program i.e. FEM/ANSYS. Aiming to the goal, three-point bending analysis was performed on sandwich beam models made up of composite face sheets and multi-layer polyurethane foam cores of different layer densities. Finite element models of sandwich beams were …

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Exterior Beam Column Joint Subjected to Monotonic Loading
Abstract: A numerical analysis of exterior beam-column joint subjected to constant axial load on the column top and monotonic load applied at the beam tip is presented in this work. A strain-based nonlinear finite element program is developed in MATLAB R2009a. The nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structural member is carried out considering it as a two-phase system. The concrete in nonlinear range is considered as orthotropic material having different stress-strain …
