See attachment. Besides using some first principles or sketching out some free body diagrams, has anyone found a methodology for designing these types of splices when there is moment and shear at the joint? Maybe something by AISC or Steel Tube Institute...
Other than the AISC manual, specs, and commentary, does anyone have/know of good resources for designing steel plate girders? Application is for a long span in a building. Example projects are good, too. Thanks!
I don't think so. They only show up when the model is deformed, and I don't see how any of the elements could get distorted to that degree... If there's not an explanation for it, I suppose I can just move the cut plane a hair past the origin in either direction. I just wanted to make sure it...
I have created a model of a steel cylinder subject to unconfined, uniaxial compression. The top and bottom surfaces of the cylinder are defined such that they act as if they are rigidly connected to two rigid plates. I am applying a downward (compressive) displacement to the nodes on the top...
