ASME AMD Committee on Fluid-Structure Interaction is Sponsoring 6 Mini-symposia at IMECE 2008

Submitted by Tayfun E. Tezduyar on

In December 2006 the ASME Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) Executive Committee approved a new technical committee, Committee on Fluid-Structure Interaction (CFSI). The CFSI is sponsoring 6 mini-symposia within Track 12 "Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Fluids" of the ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress, in Boston, October 31 - November 6, 2008. These 6 mini-symposia will have a total of 17 sessions and are titled:

Entropic rigidity of a crumpling network in a randomly folded thin sheet

Submitted by Balankin on

We have studied experimentally and theoretically the response of randomly folded hyperelastic and elastoplastic sheets on the uniaxial compression loading and the statistical properties of crumpling networks. The results of these studies reveal that the mechanical behavior of randomly folded sheets in the one-dimensional stress state is governed by the shape dependence of the crumpling network entropy.

MODELLING OF RCC COLUMN AND APPLICATION OF CYCLIC LOADING

Submitted by MUHAMMAD YAQUB on

Hi

All I am trying to model reinforced concrete column.I am using concrete damaged placity model.I used truss element for main reinforcement and ties .All main reinforcement and ties are embeded in concrete column.I need the following answer.

1-How ties confine the concrete column.

2-How can I apply the cyclic loading.

Please could you provide me any help in this regard.

Good morning,



I am a new member in your site, I do research on (the theory of propagation of elastic waves in the composite) with the theory of self consistent,
I seek PlZ of documentation on the theory of self consistent and if you can helped conceranat this subject.


thank you in advance
