The use of Response Surface Methodology for reliability estimation of aluminum silo subjected to wind load
PublicationAn axisymmetric aluminum silo model with a single, standardized geometric imperfection of its lateral surface is considered. The silo is wind – loaded only. The paper is focused on the critical, or limit value of wind pressure, both producing a loss of stability of the silo. This value is affected by vertical coordinate (position) of the imperfection and the angular relation between the imperfection and the wind direction. Reliability...

Calculation of an ultimate load value of a silo with geometric imperfections in the shape of eigenforms
PublicationThe ultimate load value of a silo with initial geometric imperfections was measured. The structure was loaded with wind. Imperfections were assumed as translations of the shell nodes from perfect geometry taken from eigenforms and their combinations. Two variants of the maximum deflection placement with respect to the direction of wind pressure were proposed. The first consists in applying the maximum wind pressure to the element...

Effect of geometric imperfections on aluminium silo capacities
PublicationAn aluminum silo with initial imperfections is analysed. Two types of imperfections are considered. The first one takes the form of local indentations in the shell; their size and range are adopted on the basis of the standard guidelines. The second type is a global imperfection described through the use of its eigenforms and by means of two-dimensional random fields. The calculations are limited to two cases of loading: negative...

SPECTRAL RESPONSE OF STATIONARY JACK-UP PLATFORMS LOADED BY SEA WAVES AND WIND USING PERTURBATION METHOD
PublicationThe paper addresses non-linear vibrations of offshore jack-up drilling platforms loaded by sea waves and wind in their stationary condition using the perturbation method. Non-linearity of dynamic equations of motion for fixed offshore platforms yields from two factors. The first is load excitation generating non-linear velocity coupling in a dynamic system. This coupling is inherent in the modified Morison equation, involving the...
