[article]
Titre : Progressive collapse of the world trade center : Simple analysis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : K. A. Seffen, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : pp.125–132. Note générale : Mécanique appliquée Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Progressive failure Collapse Residual strength Dynamic analysis Buildings high-rise New York City Terrorism Résumé : The collapse behavior of the World Trade Center towers is considered formally as a propagating instability phenomenon. The application of associated concepts enables the residual capacities of both towers after the onset of collapse to be formally estimated. This information is combined into a simplified variable-mass collapse model of the overall dynamical behavior. The resulting, nonlinear governing equation of motion can be solved in closed form, to yield compact information about the overall collapse conditions.
