Innovative Structural Analysis Methods to Avoid Failures : Morning Session 8:00am to 12:00pm EST 4 PDU’s
- Define different types of structures?
- What are ‘Fracture Critical” & “Fatigue Prone” details in a structure and what are their significance?
- Why do structures fail during their service life?
- Discussion of different methods of structural analysis
- Illustrative pictures of failures of different types of structures and discussion
- Illustrative videos of failures of different types of structures and discussion
- Discussion of various topics, such as basic structural analysis of beam, column, truss, frames etc. and their combinations
- The analysis includes loading, shear force, bending moment, slope and deflection diagrams along with discussion regarding behavior of structure under static and dynamic loading
- Selection of appropriate structural analysis methods to avoid failures of structures with real life examples
- Why is it imperative to do at least 5 to 10 % of the analysis and design work manually to verify the mechanized computer work?
- Innovative methods to quickly analyze a complex structure to avoid blunders in structural analysis with real life examples.
- Discussion of scope of future research of structural analysis of structures for further advancement
