• Abstract:
  FE (finite element) modeling was conducted to 1) provide a better understanding of the ; elastic behavior of the end region prior to cracking and 2) to evaluate the effects of bearing pad ; stiffness and width on end region elastic stresses. The FEA (finite element analysis) program ; Adina (R&D 2009) was used to conduct all modeling and analysis. All models were linear ; elastic. Strain gage and displacement data from experimental work reported in Appendix B were ; used to validate the FEA model. Hereafter the beams reported in Appendix B are referred to as ; the “small beams.”
