Analysis and A.I. Modelling of Parameters of Symmetrical Multistory Building using Non-linear Static Analysis
Abstract: Non-linear static analysis (Push over Analysis) is the emerging field in seismic design of structures.The major drawback of elastic analysis is that the response beyond the linear state is neither linearnor simple extrapolation. Although elastic analysis gives a good indication of the elastic capacity ofstructures, but it cannot account for redistribution of forces during progressive yielding of a structurethat follows and to predict its failure mechanism or detect possible location …

Numerical Modeling of Elastoviscoplastic Material Model in Strain Space
Abstract: Conventional material non-linear analysis works with stress-space plasticity. It uses yield function, loading-unloading criteria, and flow rule in terms of stress parameters. It shows ambiguity in loading-unloading criteria for softening materials. During such situations, an alternative strain-space formulation becomes quite useful to carry out analysis of such materials. The viscoplastic response of materials requires the time integration of system of non-linear first order differential equations. In viscoplasiticy, the constitutive equation …
