Nonlinear seismic response analysis of steel-concrete composite frames (2008)
Frame finite-element models permit obtaining, at moderate computational cost, significant information on the dynamic response behavior of steel-concrete composite (SCC) frame structures. As an...
Barbato, Michele, Zona, Alessandro, Conte, Joel P
This paper presents a method to compute response sensitivities of finite element models of structures based on a three-field mixed formulation. The methodology is based on the direct differentiation...
Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of California, San Diego, 2007.
Barbato, Michele, Conte, Joel P
This paper focuses on the effects upon the design point search of gradient discontinuities caused by non-smoothness of material constitutive models in the context of finite element reliability...
Zona, Alessandro, Barbato, Michele, Conte, Joel P
The behavior of steel-concrete composite beams is strongly influenced by the type of shear connection between the steel beam and the concrete slab. For accurate analytical predictions, the structural...
This paper focuses on a comparison between displacement-based and force-based elements for static and dynamic response sensitivity analysis of frame type structures. Previous research has shown that...
Finite element response sensitivity analysis using force-based frame models (2004)
Conte, Joel P, Barbato, Michele, Spacone, Enrico
This paper presents a method to compute consistent response sensitivities of force-based finite element models of structural frame systems to both material constitutive and discrete loading...
