Modeling Mode-Dependent Lane Discipline in Hybrid Traffic

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Georgios Anagnostopoulos

Complex interactions can be observed in hybrid transportation systems, where cars share the same road space with other modes such as motorcycles, bicycles or even e-scooters. In this work we further built upon the concept of mode dependent lane discipline. ...

Exploring the potential of the critical shear crack theory for reinforced and post-tensioned glass beams: Initial analysis and experiments

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

In the evolution of structural glass beam elements, the requirements for post-fracture load bearing capacity and safe failure behaviour have led to the development of reinforced and post-tensioned beams. Maximum bending capacity in the post-fracture state ...

Analytical modeling and experimental validation of rotationally actuated pinned–pinned and fixed–pinned buckled beam bistable mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

Buckled beams have become key building blocks in compliant mechanisms to achieve nonlinear behaviors, such as bistability, constant-force and stiffness tuning. However, designing and modeling such components is challenging due to their highly nonlinear cha ...

Hysteretic Behavior of Moment-Resisting Frames Considering Slab Restraint and Framing Action

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady, Hammad El Jisr

This paper examines the influence of framing action and slab continuity on the hysteretic behavior of composite steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) by means of high-fidelity continuum finite-element (CFE) analyses of two-bay subsystems and typical crucifo ...

X-Shells: A new class of deployable beam structures

Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Mina Konakovic Lukovic, Etienne Bouleau

We present X-shells, a new class of deployable structures formed by an ensemble of elastically deforming beams coupled through rotational joints. An X-shell can be assembled conveniently in a flat configuration from standard elastic beam elements and then ...
