A new simple strut-and-tie model was presented in this paper to study the behaviour of
reinforced concrete deep beams. This model was obtained based on bottle-shaped struts …

Purpose: Purpose of this paper is the theoretical formulation of elasto-dynamics behaviour of
fully cracked concrete beams for two-degree of freedom (DOF) dynamical system. Such …

When structures are subjected to dynamic types of loads, cracks are fairly consistent. Under
dynamic loads, such structures exhibit nonlinear and inelastic behaviour. If a suitable load …

When subjected to time-dependent dynamic loading, concrete structures possess tension
cracks. Such existing internal cracks have a breathing action (opening-closing-reopening) …

Currently, the dynamic response of nonlinear structures is generally determined by
numerical integration of the incremental coupled second order differential equations of …

Strain energy density potential for isotropic linear hyperelastic solids is known to be a
second degree homogeneous quadratic polynomial function of the strain tensor …
