Worst Shapes of Imperfections for Space Trusses with Multiple Global and Local Buckling Modes
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The initial postbuckling behavior and imperfection sensitivity of truss-type structures in which the joints do not transmit moments is determined by means of the Lyapunov-SchmidtKoiter approach. Such structures possess local buckling modes involving the buckling of individual members, and global modes involving axial deformations of all members but no member buckling. Of particular interest is the case in which through optimization (or otherwise) a number of local and global modes are coincident. The worst shape of imperfection for this case is determined from the bifurcated equilibrium branch on which the load drops most rapidly. It is shown that this critical bifurcated branch initially involves the buckling of one member only. The general theory is illustrated by a number of examples involving twoand three-dimensional lattice columns. The leading order asymptotic results for these examples are compared to exact results obtained by tracking the appropriate equilibrium branch numerically. &ml, = +I)/~ e(,, = 1 -L = member elongation Q0 d= (..., b,, ,...) &) = L-k

Probing the Probabilistic Effects of Imperfections on the Load Carrying Capacity of Flat Double-Layer Space Structures
Load carrying capacity of flat double-layer space structures majorly depends on the structures' imperfections. Imperfections in initial curvature, length, and residual stress of members are all innately random and can affect the load-bearing capacity of the members and consequently that of the structure. The double-layer space trusses are susceptible to progressive collapse due to sudden buckli...

The imperfections might exist in the cross section and along the tubular member. Imperfections can greatly affect the behavior of tubular members. The work presented in this paper is perusing ef...
متن کاملBuckling of Cylindrical Steel Shells with Random Imperfections due to Global Shear
This study aims to investigate the effects of geometric imperfections on buckling of thin cylindrical shells due to global shear. To this end, more than 320 finite element models of cylindrical shells with different diameter to thickness ratios were prepared. Random imperfections with different amplitudes were applied to numerical models. The results revealed that global buckling of cylindrical...

One of the common failure modes of thin cylindrical shell subjected external pressure is buckling. The buckling pressure of these shell structures are dominantly affected by the geometrical imperfections present in the cylindrical shell which are very difficult to alleviate during manufacturing process. In this work, only three types of geometrical imperfection patterns are considered namely (a...

Construction and assembling process of shell structures has caused main problems. In these structures, there is no possibility for the integrated construction due to their large shell extent and they are built using a number of welded curved panel parts; hence, some geometrical imperfections emerge. Most of these imperfections are caused by the process of welding, transportation, inappropriate ...
