A progressive collapse of a RC frame structure may be initiated by an event that damages one member of the structure. FRP is widely used in the field of structural reinforcement for its high strength ratio, convenient construction and corrosion resistance. In this paper, the collapse scene of a RC frame specimen with the failure mid-column in three programs has been simulated by LS-DYNA. We can infer the ultimate bearing capacity of the structure is raised about 10% (retrofitted by CFRP), 15% (retrofitted by GFRP) by comparing the results of finite element analysis.

The capability of structure resisting progressive collapse depends on controlling the dispersion of damage by uncommon agency in the part of the structure and to avoid the destruction just likes the Domino action. For the RC frame, when one column under the beams was broken, the key to avoid progressive collapse is whether the frame beams can bear the column’s load to produce a new way for transmitting the force or not. In this paper, the simulation analysis to a six-layer frame structure which designed by the concrete structural design codes is put up according to the four failure position of columns. The following conclusions are concluded: the damage in vertical region does not appear or appear very little because of a strong stiffness in joint between invalid column and beam. Structural collapse was resulted by the collapse stress from displacement transfering the other end of beam connected with columns.


The paper emphasizes on designing a high performance All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV). We started the designing of 3D model of vehicle using CATIA V5 software. With considering, the critical parameters such as overall weight, safety, high strength, and ergonomics, the roll cage of all-terrain vehicle is designed and then its static analysis is carried out. The Roll cage plays a major role which provides safety to the driver and also it is a main building block of ATV. In this research paper, the roll cage is designed by considering all the constraints provided by SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers). The finite element analysis was done using ANSYS 15.0. Various impacts that the roll cage can undergo are studied. From the optimum design with considering the factor of safety in the account, the roll cage was designed with superior weight to strength ratio. The results obtained after the analysis stated the designed to be safe and sound.

Abstract Hollow concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) member is mainly adopted in power transmission and transformation structures, but when it is used in the superstructure with complex stress, the hollow CFST member has a low bearing capacity and is prone to brittle failure. To improve the mechanical performance of hollow CFST members, a new type of reinforced hollow high strength concrete-filled square steel tube (RHCFSST) was proposed, and its axial compression performance was researched. 18 finite element analysis (FEA) models of axially loaded RHCFSST stub columns were established through FEA software ABAQUS. The whole stress process of composite columns was studied, and parametric studies were carried out to analyze the mechanical performance of the member. Parameters of the steel strength, steel ratio, deformed bar and sandwich concrete strength were varied. Based on the simulation results, the stress process of members can be divided into four stages: elastic stage, elastoplastic stage, descending stage and gentle stage. With the increase of steel strength, steel ratio, the strength of sandwich concrete and the addition of deformed bars, the ultimate bearing capacity of members also increases. Additionally, the increment of those parameters will improve the ductility of the member, except for the sandwich concrete strength.

Frame adalah salah satu komponen yang sangat penting dalam sebuah kendaraan, yang berfungsi sebagai penopang penumpang, mesin, suspensi, sistem kelistrikan dan lain-lain. Melihat fungsi dari frame sangat penting, maka dalam merancang sebuah frame harus diperhitungkan dengan baik. Banyak sekali jenis pengujian yang sering dipakai dalam perancangan sebuah struktur frame, salah satunya adalah digunakannya metode komputasi dengan menggunakan metode Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui distribusi tegangan, regangan, displacement, dan safety factor dari hasil pembebanan statis pada frame gokar. Struktur frame didesain dan dianalisis menggunakan software Solidworks 2016. Material yang digunakan frame adalah baja AISI 1045 hollow tube 273,2 mm, dengan menggunakan pembebanan pengendara sebesar 50 kg dan 70 kg. Hasil dari perhitungan manual didapatkan tegangan maksimum sebesar 4,735  107 N/m2, sedangkan dari simulasi didapatkan sebesar 4,516  107 N/m2. Regangan maksimum didapatkan dari perhitungan manual sebesar 2,310  10-4. Displacement maksimum didapatkan dari perhitungan manual sebesar 1,864  108 mm, sedangkan dari simulasi didapatkan sebesar 1,624  108 mm. Safety factor minimum didapatkan dari perhitungan manual sebesar 11,193, dan perhitungan simulasi didapatkan sebesar 11,736. The frame is one of the most important components in a vehicle, which functions as a support for passengers, engines, suspensions, electrical systems and others. Seeing the function of the frame is very important, so designing a frame must be taken into account well. There are many types of tests that are often used in the design of a frame structure, one of which is the use of computational methods using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of stress, strain, displacement, and safety factor from the results of static loading on the kart frame. The frame structure was designed and analyzed using Solidworks 2016 software. The material used in the frame is steel AISI 1045 hollow tube 27  3,2 mm, using a rider load of 50 kg and 70 kg. The result of manual calculation shows that the maximum stress is 4,735  107 N/m2, while the simulation results are 4,516  107 N/m2. The maximum strain is obtained from manual calculation of 2,310  10-4. The maximum displacement is obtained from manual calculations of 1,864  108 mm, while the simulation results are 1,624  108 mm. The minimum safety factor obtained from manual calculation is 11,193, and the simulation calculation is 11,736.
