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.”
