Surface cracks are a common occurrence in structural components due to the frequently
highest values of the stress at the outer boundary of the body and to the presence of defects …

The behaviour of plate girders under in plane loading has been intensively studied during
the last two decades either to bring new insights, to propose new design methods or to …

One of the most important advantages of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) is to create openings
with different sizes and arbitrary locations on the infill plate depending on their application …

A number of full-scale plate girders are modeled and analyzed to determine their shear
failure mechanism characteristics. An objective of this numerical nonlinear large deflection …

This paper describes a numerical investigation to provide a practical design method for
stiffening thin steel plate shear walls. The procedure considers one-sided transverse and …

The nonlinear behavior of steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) with stiffened large rectangular
openings used as windows or doors in buildings is studied. A number of SPSWs with and …

Buckling of thin steel shear panels is a sudden phenomenon, whereas material yielding is a
gradual trend. After buckling, large out-of-plane displacements are formed which induce …

In previous research on shear panel dampers (SPDs), the assumption that the damper only
experiences in-plane loading has been predominant, neglecting the effects of bidirectional …

This paper presents the buckling analysis of cracked CNTRC plates under shear loading
using XFEM, focusing on the existence of the off-center cracks as the novelty of the research …

Utilizing shear panels is a common practice in civil, naval and aerospace engineering
structures and the performance of the one with thin steel plate shear walls is an interesting …
