  2. Diaphragm (structural system) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_(structural_system)

    On the other hand, rigid diaphragms transfer load to frames or shear walls depending on their flexibility and their location in the structure. Diaphragms that cannot be classified as either flexible or rigid are referred to as semirigid. [1] The flexibility of a diaphragm affects the distribution of lateral forces to the vertical components of ...

  3. Slope deflection method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_deflection_method

    The slope deflection method is a structural analysis method for beams and frames introduced in 1914 by George A. Maney. [1] The slope deflection method was widely used for more than a decade until the moment distribution method was developed. In the book, "The Theory and Practice of Modern Framed Structures", written by J.B Johnson, C.W. Bryan ...

  4. Earthquake engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_engineering

    Light-frame structures usually gain seismic resistance from rigid plywood shear walls and wood structural panel diaphragms. [54] Special provisions for seismic load-resisting systems for all engineered wood structures requires consideration of diaphragm ratios, horizontal and vertical diaphragm shears, and connector/fastener values. In addition ...

  5. Diaphragm (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_(mechanical_device)

    In mechanics, a diaphragm is a sheet of a semi-flexible material anchored at its periphery and most often round in shape. It serves either as a barrier between two chambers, moving slightly up into one chamber or down into the other depending on differences in pressure , or as a device that vibrates when certain frequencies are applied to it.

  6. Direct stiffness method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_stiffness_method

    One of the largest areas to utilize the direct stiffness method is the field of structural analysis where this method has been incorporated into modeling software. The software allows users to model a structure and, after the user defines the material properties of the elements, the program automatically generates element and global stiffness ...
