this paper focuses on using the recently developed extended finite element model for buckling analysis of edge cracked columns under concentric axial load. the effect of crack depth and its location on the carrying capacity of columns is studied. the effect of different boundary conditions is also investigated. numerical examples are offered to show the efficiency and effectiveness of the propo...

The Magneto-Electro-Elastic (MEE) material exhibits pyroelectric and pyromagnetic effects under thermal environment. The effects of such pyroelectric and pyromagnetic behavior on vibration, buckling and deflection analysis of partially cracked thin MEE plate is presented and discussed in this paper. The aim of the study is to develop an analytical model for the vibration and geometrically linea...

In this paper, a set of partial differential equations considering the dynamic effects coiled tubing (CT) is established based on bending theory slender beams axial loads. The analytical solution sinusoidal deformation with time term obtained. critical load during buckling and change half-wave number post-buckling are studied through introduction necessary conditions, separation constant. conta...

in this paper, buckling of simply supported column with an edge crack is investigated numerically and analytically. four different scenarios of damage severities are applied to a column, open crack assumption and the effect of closing crack in stability of the column which depends on position and size of cracks, are numerically compared. crack surfaces contact is modeled with gap element using ...

An analytical study was conducted on a submersible pressure hull composed of a hybridsandwich cylindrical shell reinforced with circular frames. Unlike most sandwich plates, the hybrid consists of a thin core with thick faces. Hulls fabricated from such plate when employing a visco-elastic core exhibit inherent acoustic damping properties when radiated with external noise. Typically, however, c...

In this paper, the stability characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under the action of axial load are investigated. To this end, a nonlocal Flügge shell model is developed to accommodate the small length scale effects. The analytical Rayleigh-Ritz method with beam functions is applied to the variational statement derived from the Flügge-type buckling equations. Molecular dy...

The AISC Seismic Provisions and CSA S-16 Standard require a minimum moment of inertia for the vertical boundary elements (VBEs) in steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) to avoid undesirable VBE behaviors. The equation limiting VBE flexibility has been derived from a flexibility factor, ωt, developed in plate girder theory and the limit on VBE flexibility has been empirically specified based on previo...

The mechanics of DNA supercoiling is a subject of crucial importance to uncover the mechanism and kinetics of several enzymes. It is therefore being investigated using several biochemical and biophysical methods including single molecule experimental techniques. An interesting problem within this realm is that of torsional buckling and plectoneme formation in DNA as it is simultaneously put und...

The buckling analysis of an offshore pipeline refers to the temperature-induced uplift and lateral pipelines by analytical, numerical, experimental means. Thus, current study discusses different research performed on thermal pipe-buckling factors affecting pipeline’s behaviour. consists dependency direction seabed features burial condition; pre-buckling post-buckling load-displacement behaviour...
