ABSTRACT The purpose of this work is to use the energy approach in the form of direct variational principle (Rayleigh-Ritz method) for buckling analysis of thin rectangular plates with various boundary conditions using Taylor series shape functions. To do this, thin rectangular flat plate of various boundary conditions with three dimensions Ly, Lx... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This research work presents the static analysis of short cylindrical shell under internal liquid pressure with various boundary conditions and aspect ratios. Improved fourth order finite difference method was employed for the analysis and a MATLAB computer program was developed based on the matrix equations and models generated from the...

This project work “Reliability analysis of a continuous beam using Hasofer-Lind Reliability  Method” was primarily concerned with the effect of varying parameters such as load, modulus of  elasticity, moment of inertia and span length on the reliability of a continuous beam. The limit  state considered is deflection, and the allowable... Continue Reading
