Finite element prediction of interfacial stresses in structural members bonded with a thin plate

In this paper, a new kind of finite element method (FEM) is proposed, which use the two-dimensional Hermite interpolation scaling function constructed by tensor product as the basis interpolation function of field function, and then combine with the energy functional with related mechanics and variational principle, the wavelet finite element equations for solving elastic thin plate unit that constructed in this paper are derived. Then the bending problem of thin plate is solved very quickly and availably through the matlab program. The numerical example in this paper indicates the correctness and validity of this method, and has high calculation precision and convergence speed. Moreover, it also provides a reliable method to solve the free vibration problem of thin plate and the pipe crack problems.

Connection Design

Connection design is critical in timber buildings since the connections tend to have lower strength than the structural members themselves and they tend to fail in a brittle manner. The effect of connection geometry on the fire performance of a hybrid steel-timber shear connection is investigated by full-scale testing. These tests were conducted by exposing the test specimens to the standard time-temperature curve defined by CAN/ULC-S101 (CAN/ULC-S101, 2007). Test results showed that the fire resistance of these connections depends on the load ratio, the type of connection and the relative exposure of the steel plate to fire. Finite element models of the connections under fire were constructed using ABAQUS/CAE and these were validated using the test results. These numerical model results correlate well with test results with ±8.32% variation.
