However, such kind of conditions cannot be used for curvilinear coordinates. In this paper, certain forms of the patch test are established in terms of the general and the orthogonal curvilinear systems respectively. For the axisymmetric problem, the related patch test condition is formulated and used to construct an axisymmetric incompatible element. In addition, some new approaches to avoid spurious shear stress are presented.展开更多

In this paper, the seismic responses of the slit shear walls under the shake of earthquake excitation have been dealt with. Based on a simplified structural model, which is shown to have a sufficient accuracy for the real slit shear wall structure, the analysis focuses on the influence of nonlinear behavior of the connecting beams between the slits on the dynamic performance of the whole slit shear wall structure. It has been found that the yielding of connecting beams in a slit shear wall can provide significant improvement in reducing the structural responses, and by choosing an appropriate strength value for the connecting beams, it is possible to optimize the seismic response of the slit shear wall.展开更多
