Modeling beam-decking connectors under failure conditions
Finite element analysis of a large structure incorporating material and geometric nonlinearities can be very time-consuming and expensive. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to determine to what degree the finite element model of the dome can be simplified and still yield useful results....
