High damping rubber bearings show highly nonlinear stress-strain behaviour. Deformation-history integral (DHI) model which can estimate small strain stiffness degradation and nonlinear plasticity via a relatively simple ...

In this paper some basic questions on optimisation of structures prone to instability behaviour are addressed by using a simple example consisting only one state variable. A multi-criteria optimisation problem, where both ...

In the design of steel structures, special attention must be paid on structural fire design in order to ensure a specified safe time period that the structure can withstand the fire without collapse. In the European design ...
