This paper presents the details and illustrates the application of a semi-analytical Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) formulation for the dynamic analysis of high-speed railway bridge decks. The technique, which takes into account the cross-section local/distortional and shear deformations, provides an original “doubly modal” representation of the dynamic response, which makes it possible to acquire deep insight into the mechanics of the deck structural behaviour. It is employed to investigate the dynamic ...

The local-plate, distortional and global vibration behaviour of thin-walled steel channel members subjected to compression and/or non-uniform bending is studied. This investigation is carried out by means of a very recently developed Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) formulation, which takes into account the geometrically nonlinear stiffness reduction caused by the presence of (i) longitudinal stress gradients and (ii) the ensuing shear stresses. Taking advantage of the GBT modal features, one analyses ...

This paper reports on the use of a recently developed Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) formulation, and corresponding finite element implementation, to analyse the local and global buckling behaviour of thin-walled members with arbitrary loading and support conditions — this formulation takes into account longitudinal normal stress gradients and the ensuing pre-buckling shear stresses. After presenting an overview of the main concepts and procedures involved in the performance of a GBT-based (beam finite ...

In this paper, one investigates the local-plate, distortional and global buckling behavior of thin-walled steel beams subjected to non-uniform bending moment diagrams, i.e. under the presence of longitudinal stress gradients. One begins by deriving a novel formulation based on Generalized Beam Theory (GBT), which (i) can handle beams with arbitrary open cross-sections and (ii) incorporates all the effects stemming from the presence of longitudinally varying stress distributions. This formulation is ...

This paper extends previous work concerning the determination of cross-section deformation modes in thin-walled members with arbitrary polygonal cross-section, in the framework of Generalized Beam Theory (Gonçalves et al., 2010 [1]). In particular, the paper addresses the so-called “natural shear deformation modes” (i.e. the deformation modes that involve non-null membrane shear strains and are independent of the cross-section discretization employed), which are relevant for capturing the behaviour ...

This paper presents the main steps and procedures involved in the development of a Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) formulation to perform dynamic analyses of thin-walled members subjected to initial perturbations or acting loads. It combines (i) the GBT modal discretisation of the cross-section deformation with (ii) the commonly adopted vibration mode superposition approach – this combination leads to an original “doubly modal” representation of the displacement field, which (i) provides deep insight into ...

When analysing the structural behaviour of a thin-walled member by means of Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) – a one-dimensional folded-plate theory expressing the member deformed configuration as a linear combination of cross-section deformation modes with amplitudes varying along its length – the performance of the so-called “cross-section analysis” is the key step. Indeed, it consists of determining the deformation modes and evaluating the corresponding modal mechanical properties. However, the available ...

This paper compares two distinct approaches for obtaining the cross-section deformation modes of thin-walled members with deformable cross-section, namely the method of Generalized Eigenvectors (GE) and the Generalized Beam Theory (GBT). First, both approaches are reviewed, emphasizing their differences and similarities, as well as their resulting semi-analytical solutions. Then, the GE/GBT deformation modes for four selected cross-sections are calculated and examined in detail. Subsequently, attention ...

This paper deals with extending the domain of applicability of a recently developed Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) formulation intended to perform elastic linear buckling analyses of thin-walled members (i) exhibiting arbitrary flat-walled cross-sections (including those combining closed cells and open branches), and (ii) acted by general loadings. These loadings, which include transverse forces acting away from the member shear centre axis, are termed “general” in the sense that they may involve the ...

This paper presents a new modal theory for the wrinkling analysis of membranes and discusses the stretch-induced wrinkling behaviour of fixed-ended thin sheets. This modal theory corresponds to an extension of Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) to analyse the wrinkling behaviour of highly stretched sheets. The inherent GBT modal nature adopted in this investigation enables the acquisition of an in-depth knowledge (when compared with the traditional shell finite element analysis) of the behaviour underlying ...

Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to develop, validate, and illustrate an updated prediction model (SCORE2) to estimate 10-year fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in individuals without previous CVD or diabetes aged 40–69 years in Europe. Methods and results We derived risk prediction models using individual-participant data from 45 cohorts in 13 countries (677 684 individuals, 30 121 CVD events). We used sex-specific and competing risk-adjusted models, including age, smoking ...

This paper presents the results of an investigation concerning the free vibration behavior (undamped natural frequencies and vibration mode shapes) of thin-walled beams with rectangular multi-cell cross-section (assemblies of parallel rectangular cells in a single direction). Besides local (plate-type) and global (flexural, torsional and extensional) vibration modes, attention is paid to the relatively less-known distortional vibration modes, which involve cross-section out-of-plane (warping) and in- ...

Glioblastomas (GBM) present a high cellular heterogeneity with conspicuous necrotic regions associated with hypoxia, which is related to tumor aggressiveness. GBM tumors exhibit high glycolytic metabolism with increased lactate production that is extruded to the tumor microenvironment through monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs). While hypoxia-mediated regulation of MCT4 has been characterized, the role of MCT1 is still controversial. Thus, we aimed to understand the role of hypoxia in the regulation ...

Generalized Beam Theory (GBT), intended to analyze the structural behavior of prismatic thin-walled members and structural systems, expresses the member deformed configuration as a combination of cross-section deformation modes multiplied by the corresponding longitudinal amplitude functions. The determination of the latter, often the most computer-intensive step of the analysis, is almost always performed by means of GBT-based “conventional” 1D (beam) finite elements. This paper presents the formulation, ...

Gliomas exhibit high glycolytic rates, and monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) play a major role in the maintenance of the glycolytic metabolism through the proton-linked transmembrane transport of lactate. However, their role in gliomas is poorly studied. Thus, we aimed to characterize the expression of MCT1, MCT4, and their chaperone CD147 and to assess the therapeutic impact of MCT inhibition in gliomas.MCTs and CD147 expressions were characterized by immunohistochemistry in nonneoplastic brain ...
