The paper contains analysis of full-scaled three meters long segment of a novel composite footbridge. Both numerical modeling and experimental validation were performed. Analyzed object is a shell type sandwich channel-like structure made of composite sandwich with GFRP laminates as a skin and PET foam as a core. Several static load schemes were performed including vertical and horizontal forces. In FEM analysis multilayered laminate...

An 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...

Artykuł omawia zastosowanie metody układów sprzężonych w numerycznej analizie wrażliwości belek i ram zbudowanych ze stalowych profili cienkościennych poddanych skręceniu lub skręceniu ze zginaniem. Przedstawiono wyniki analizy wrażliwości przemieszczeń i sił wewnętrznych na zmianę parametrów geometrycznych konstrukcji.
