ULTIMATE LIMIT CAPACITY OF THIN-WALLED COLD-FORMED STEEL MEMBERS
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2018, Vol 63, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper is a review of research done in the recent years as a result of collaboration between the Department of Steel Structures and Structural Mechanics of the Politehnica University of Timisoara, Laboratory of Steel Structures of the Romanian Academy and Department of Strength of Materials of the Łódź University of Technology related to load carrying capacity, post-failure behaviour and plastic mechanisms of failure of thin-walled cold-forms steel (TWCFS) members subjected to compression and/or bending.

INVERSE DYNAMICS OF A TRANSLATION-ROTATION HYBRID PARALLEL ROBOT
Matrix relations for dynamics analysis of a spatial two-module hybrid parallel manipulator are established in this paper. Knowing the relative motions of two serially connected moving platforms, the inverse dynamics prob...
STOCHASTIC LINEARIZATION OF SYSTEMS WITH HYSTERETIC CHARACTERISTICS
In this paper is presented a linearization method for a stochastic differential system with hysteretic characteristics and random excitation. The Gaussian equivalent linearization technique is applied to a system with hy...
EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY OF LOW VELOCITY IMPACT ON SANDWICH PANELS WITH ALUMINUM FACESHEETS AND FOAM CORE
This study investigates the effect of foam core type in sandwich structures under low velocity impact. The structures consist of aluminum facesheets and polystyrene and polyurethane foam core with density of 32 kg/m3 , r...
NONLINEAR ANALYSIS OF NORMAL HUMAN GAIT FOR DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES WITH APPLICATION TO BIPEDAL LOCOMOTION
The objective of this study is to quantify and investigate nonlinear motion of the normal human knee joint in different walking conditions using nonlinear analysis. The kinematic data of the human knee flexion-extension a...
ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE HYSTERETIC WIRE-ROPE ISOLATORS UNDER RANDOM EXCITATION
Difficulties in characterizing of behavior of the wire-rope isolators under random excitation is the motivation for investigation of the modified Bouc-Wen model in the spirit of Baber and Noori, in order to include the e...
