The Relationship

In traditional semi-rigid analysis of extended end plate connections is assumed to be deterministic parameters, most of moment-rotation models of the joint is determined by curve-fitting and statistically regressed with the test data. Those parameters of the models have little physical meanings and the effect of correlations between parameters is neglected. This paper deals with a semi-rigid joint of extended end plate connections based on correlation and sensitivity analysis. A numerical study was carried out and the finite element analysis was validated compared with the experimental results.The relative moment-rotation model was concluded based on correlations in parameters and probabilistic sentivity analysis. The relationship between height and width of steel beam was partial correlation, the relationship between thickness of steel beam flange and thickness of steel beam web was partial correlation. Height and width of steel beam, the distance of upper bolts to axle wire of steel beam were important sensitive parameters for the extended end plate connections.

Background: The main objective of this study is to simulate the behaviour of steel beam-to-column connections using the computer package of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) known as “ABAQUS”. Objective: This paper presents the investigations of extended End-Plate connections (EP). A one-model segment is examined under the impact of concentrated load and the exclusive boundary conditions were tested. The analysis of the nonlinear behaviour of the connection is a complicated science and needs to use programs to solve this problem. Experimental works are normally conducted for this type of studies which used more of money, time and effort. Therefore, with the availability of simulation applications, these problems can be addressed. Results and Conclusion: The results of the evaluation were compared with the experimental data from the available literature. In this case, nonlinearity materials were used. A sample study on EP connections was carried out using both material and geometric nonlinearities. The comparison of FEA results with corresponding experimental results confirms the correlation and convergence between them.

This paper deals with probabilistic sensitivity analysis for a semi-rigid joint of continuous web plate based on correlations analysis. Firstly, a numerical study was carried out by the software package ANSYS, the finite element analysis was validated compared with experimental results. Secondly, parameters sensitivity analysis was carried on by applying ANSYS Probabilistic Design Analysis. Considering the correlations in primary parameters, all random parameters are varied at the same time based on Monte Carlo simulation. An especial expression between geometric parameters and moment-rotation was discussed. Thirdly, the moment-rotation model of the joint was attained. The composite constant of the moment-rotation model is determined by partial derivative of any parameter from the model. It is concluded that the parameters of the model have notable physical meaning and the proposed model should be accurate and acceptable.

This paper presents a numerical study on the behavior of prequalified Bolted Extended End Plate (BEEP) moment connections when are affected by cyclic loading. Specimens were six four-bolt extended end-plate connections consist of H-shaped columns and I-shaped beams with different geometry as well as different end-plate size and bolt diameter; three of them were stiffened by a triangular rib plate welded to the top and bottom of the beam flanges, and others remained unstiffened. They were modeled in ABAQUS software and their cyclic behavior was evaluated using finite element analysis. Responses of specimens were examined by presenting their equivalent plastic strain, stress distribution, and moment-rotation hysteretic curves. Results revealed that with the increase of beam height and inertia moment in equal story drift rotations, the reduction of connection strength occurred earlier due to the occurrence of local buckling in the beam web and flange after subjecting to cyclic loading. By comparing moment-rotation hysteretic responses of specimens, it was found out that in unstiffened BEEP connections with thinner end-plate, the use of single vertical rib stiffener can slightly improve their cyclic behavior, but in connections with thicker end plate, it showed no considerable effect. It was concluded that the BEEP connections whose dimensions are not based on the tenth code of the Iranian national building regulations, cannot satisfy the criteria of AISC seismic provisions for both special and intermediate steel moment frames, although they experienced no local beam web and flange buckling.

Extended stiffened end-plate connections are widely used in seismic area due to their good performance in terms of both resistance and ductility. The most of existing studies focused on the all-steel behavior of these joints, disregarding the composite action of the concrete slab that is generally disconnected. However, the presence of the concrete slab can have beneficial effects on the structural stiffness for both gravity and lateral loads. Hence, most of the building frames are usually designed considering steel-concrete composite solution. However, the slab can strongly influence the hierarchy between beam and column and the ductility of the joint. In this paper the influence of composite deck on the response of extended stiffened end-plate joins has been investigated by means of finite element analyses (FEAs). In particular, the following details have been investigated: (i) all steel joints without slab; (ii) steel joint with disconnected slab; (iii) composite joint.

The Relationship

As the thermal deformation significantly impacts the accuracy of precision positioning stage, it is necessary to realize the thermal error. The thermal deformation of the positioning stage is simulated by the finite element analysis. The relationship between the temperature variation and thermal error is fitted third-order polynomial function whose parameters are determined by genetic algorithm neural network (GANN). The operators of the GANN are optimized through a parametric study. The results show that the model can describe the relationship between the temperature and thermal deformation well.
