Cet exemple sert de démonstration du couplage de diaphragme. The application is shown on a two-story structure. The structure is loaded by means of lateral forces according to Figure 1. Determine the maximum deflection of the structure ux in the direction of the loading forces using both the diaphragm constraint and the plate model of the floor.
Déterminez le déplacement maximal, les contraintes dans le plan et les rapports de contraintes d'une plaque de verre à double vitrage avec une feuille entre les deux vitrages soumise à une pression uniforme.
Considérez un assemblage tubulaire d'un échafaudage soumis à un effort normal et un moment. Self-weight is not considered. The material of the tube is idealized as perfectly rigid. All geometrical non-linearities are ignored. Determine the angle of deflection.
Montrer que le couplage de différents éléments dimensionnels n'affecte pas les résultats. A cantilever with a rectangular cross-section is fixed at one end and loaded at the other by concentrated forces. Neglecting its self-weight and assuming only small deformations, determine the cantilever's maximum deflections.
