This study investigated bending, buckling, and free vibration responses of hyperbolic shear deformable functionally graded (FG) higher order beams. The material properties of FG beams are varied through thickness according to power law distribution; here, the FG beam was made of aluminium/alumina, and the hyperbolic shear deformation theory was used to evaluate the effect of shear deformation i...

This paper has investigated the effect of hole shape, hole size and hole position on elastic buckling of square perforated plates by using the finite element method. According to the effect law of these three geometric factors on buckling bearing capacity, buckling coefficient was obtained by data fitting. The results show that: The plate with circular perforation has the greatest buckling bear...

Buckling is typically the governing failure mode of thin-walled shells. In particular, geometric and material imperfections have a major influence on buckling behavior. Small variations large effects load-bearing However, design shells still characterized by deterministic way thinking, in which uncertainties not yet been sufficiently considered. Even probabilistic approaches, false assumptions ...

High-resolution micro computed tomography has enabled measurement of bone architecture derived from 3D representations of cancellous bone. Twenty-eight vertebral bodies were obtained from four embalmed male cadavers. From 3D anaglyphs, trabecular rod thickness and length were measured and the trabecular rod Buckling index was calculated. From 3D voxel-based datasets, bone volume density, trabec...

In this paper, an analytical model is developed to determine the torsional-flexural buckling load of a channel column braced by unevenly distributed batten plates. Solutions of the critical buckling loads were derived for three boundary cases using the energy method in which the rotating angle between the adjacent battens was presented in the form of a piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation (PCH...

In this paper, the axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric buckling of finite elastic cylindrical shell, which is impacted on the end by axial step loads, is discussed with the aid of the stress wave propagating and reflecting. By solving the disturbed equations, the bifurcation condition of the dynamic buckling, critical buckling load and buckling mode are obtained. The results show that when the th...

A distributed Brillouin fiber sensor has been employed to detect localized pipe-wall buckling in an energy pipe by measuring the longitudinal and hoop strain distributions along the outer surface of the pipe for the first time. The locations of the localized pipe-wall buckling are found and distinguished using their corresponding strain-load data. The formation of the buckling process for the c...

It is well known that Korn's inequality plays a central role in the theory of linear elasticity. In their recent work Grabovsky and Truskinovsky (2007) proved a connection between the Korn inequalities and buckling problems coming from nonlinear elasticity. It has been shown that when the general buckling theory by Grabovsky and Truskinovsky is applicable, then Korn's inequality gives a lower b...

existence of cracks in industrial structures is one of the important causes of their failure, especially when they are subjected to important axial compressive forces that might lead to buckling. therefore, it must be considered in stress analysis and designing and loading of such structures. in this paper, the buckling and post-buckling behaviors of stainless-steel cracked plates under axial c...

The bidirectional laser Doppler technique and monochromatic photography were used to measure the absolute blood flow rate in the major temporal retinal arteries in seven patients following unilateral scleral buckling and encircling procedures, and in two patients before and after removal of scleral buckling elements. In the seven patients who had undergone uncomplicated scleral buckling procedu...
