In this work, an elastic-plastic stress analysis has been conducted for silicon carbide fiber reinforced magnesium metal matrix composite beam. The composite beam has a rectangular cross section. The beam is cantilevered and is loaded by a single force at its free end. In solution, the composite beam is assumed perfectly plastic to simplify the investigation. An analytical solution is presented for the elastic-plastic regions. In order to verify the analytic solution results were compared with the finite element method. An rectangular element with nine nodes has been choosen. Composite plate is meshed into 48 elements and 228 nodes with simply supported and in-plane loading condations. Predictions of the stress distributions of the beam using finite elements were overall in good agreement with analytic values. Stress distributions of the composite beam are calculated with respect to its fiber orientation. Orientation angles of the fiber are chosen as $0^{circ},\;30^{circ},\;45^{circ},\;60^{circ}\;and\;90^{circ}$. The plastic zone expands more at the upper side of the composite beam than at the lower side for $30^{circ},\;45^{circ}\;and\;60^{circ}$ orientation angles. Residual stress components of ${\sigma}_{x}\;and \;{\tau}_{xy}$ are also found in the section of the composite beam.

SLIM AU(A plus U-shaped) composite beam had been developed for not only reducing the story height in residential and commercial building, but also saving the cost of floor construction. The structural performance and economic feasibility was sufficiently approved by means of structural experiments and analytical studies. Even though fire resistance of the SLIM AU composite beam was evaluated throughout furnace fire test, the fire performance of the composite beam using finite element analysis is not analysed yet. Therefore the predictions of fire resistance simulations with loading as well as temperature distribution of the composite beam are summarized in this paper.

A calculation method was presented to calculate the deflection of GFRP-concrete-steel beams with full or partial shear connections. First, the sectional analysis method was improved by considering concrete nonlinearity and shear connection stiffness variation along the beam direction. Then the equivalent slip strain was used to take into consideration of variable cross-sections. Experiments and nonlinear finite element analysis were performed to validate the calculation method. The experimental results showed the deflection of composite beams could be accurately predicted by using the theoretical model or the finite element simulation. Furthermore, more finite element models were established to verify the accuracy of the theoretical model, which included different GFRP plates and different numbers of shear connectors. The theoretical results agreed well with the numerical results. In addition, parametric studies using theoretical method were also performed to find out the effect of parameters on the deflection. Based on the parametric studies, a simplified calculation formula of GFRP-concrete-steel composite beam was exhibited. In general, the calculation method could provide a more accurate theoretical result without complex finite element simulation, and serve for the further study of continuous GFRP-concrete-steel composite beams.

For the spatially coupled free vibration analysis of composite box beams resting on elastic foundation under the axial force, the exact solutions are presented by using the power series method based on the homogeneous form of simultaneous ordinary differential equations. The general vibrational theory for the composite box beam with arbitrary lamination is developed by introducing Vlasov°Øs assumption. Next, the equations of motion and force-displacement relationships are derived from the energy principle and explicit expressions for displacement parameters are presented based on power series expansions of displacement components. Finally, the dynamic stiffness matrix is calculated using force-displacement relationships. In addition, the finite element model based on the classical Hermitian interpolation polynomial is presented. To show the performances of the proposed dynamic stiffness matrix of composite box beam, the numerical solutions are presented and compared with the finite element solutions using the Hermitian beam elements and the results from other researchers. Particularly, the effects of the fiber orientation, the axial force, the elastic foundation, and the boundary condition on the vibrational behavior of composite box beam are investigated parametrically. Also the emphasis is given in showing the phenomenon of vibration mode change.

To analyze laminated composite and sandwich beams under temperature loads, a $C^0$-type Reddy's beam theory considering transverse normal strain is proposed in this paper. Although transverse normal strain is taken into account, the number of unknowns is not increased. Moreover, the first derivatives of transverse displacement have been taken out from the in-plane displacement fields, so that the $C^0$ interpolation functions are only required for the finite element implementation. Based on the proposed model, a three-node beam element is presented for analysis of thermal responses. Numerical results show that the proposed model can accurately and efficiently analyze the thermoelastic problems of laminated composites.

본 논문에서는 고유진동수 시험을 통해 복합재 격자구조체의 유한요소모델을 검증하였다. 복합재 격자구조체의 유한요소모델은 빔, 쉘 그리고 솔리드 요소를 사용하여 생성하였다. 고유진동수는 자유 경계조건 하에서 충격시험법을 사용하여 측정하였다. 쉘과 솔리드 요소의 유한요소해석 결과, 고유진동수 시험과 잘 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 빔 요소는 섬유 비교차부의 물성저하를 고려하지 못하여 오차가 발생된 것으로 판단된다.

The objective of this work is to analyze large deflections of a fiber reinforced composite cantilever beam under point loads. In the solution of the problem, finite element method is used in conjunction with two dimensional (2-D) continuum model. It is known that large deflection problems are geometrically nonlinear problems. The considered non-linear problem is solved considering the total Lagrangian approach with Newton-Raphson iteration method. In the numerical results, the effects of the volume fraction and orientation angles of the fibre on the large deflections of the composite beam are examined and discussed. Also, the difference between the geometrically linear and nonlinear analysis of fiber reinforced composite beam is investigated in detail.

Based on the Mindlin plate theory, a refined discrete 15-DOF triangular laminated composite plate finite element RDTMLC with the re-constitution of the shear strain is proposed. For constituting the element displacement function, the exact displacement function of the Timoshenko's laminated composite beam as the displacement on the element boundary is used to derive the element displacements. The proposed element can be used for the analysis of both moderately thick and thin laminated composite plate, and the convergence for the very thin situation can be ensured theoretically. Numerical examples presented show that the present model indeed possesses the properties of higher accuracy for anisotropic laminated composite plates and is free of locking even for extremely thin laminated plates.

본 논문에서는 원통형 복합재 격자구조체의 구조안전성 평가 기법에 대해 연구를 수행하였다. 구조안전성 평가는 유한요소해석을 통해 수행하였다. 구조안전성 평가를 위한 최적의 유한요소를 확인하기 위해 원통형 복합재 격자구조체 유한요소모델은 빔, 쉘 그리고 솔리드 요소를 사용해 생성하였다. 쉘과 솔리드 모델의 유한요소 해석결과는 서로 유사하게 발생되었다. 그러나 빔 모델의 경우, 쉘과 솔리드 모델의 결과와 큰 차이가 발생하였다. 이것은 빔 요소가 원통형 복합재 격자구조체 섬유 비교차부의 기계적 물성저하를 고려하지 못하기 때문이다. 원통형 복합재 격자구조체의 구조안전성 평가를 위한 유한요소해석은 쉘 또는 솔리드 요소를 사용해야 하는 것을 확인하였다.

층고 감소, 내력 증대 등의 장점을 가지고 있는 기존 합성보의 특징 뿐만 아니라 사용 강재량의 감소까지 기대할 수 있는 단부 보강한 합성보(Eco-girder) 시스템이 개발되었다. Eco-girder 시스템의 개념은 효율적인 합성보의 설계를 위해 최대 모멘트가 발생하는 양단부만을 강판을 이용하여 보강하고, 중앙부 모멘트에 의하여 철골보 크기를 결정하는 구조시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 반복 휨하중을 받는 단부보강 합성보의 이력거동을 예측하기 위해 정밀한 FEM(Finite Element Method)보다는 간단한 표현과 동시에 원리에 충실한 수치적분에 의한 면내수치해석방법(Fiber Element Analysis)을 이용하였으며, 선행 연구된 실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 수치해석방법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 기존 합성보와의 이력거동을 비교 분석하였다.
