The present study presents a new FEM element for buckling analysis of members H-section and its application to spatial structures. is fundamentally composed three parallel beams together with two struts normal the elements, enabling consideration flexural-torsional buckling. study, first, performs static under torsional moments. Second, subjected axial forces, followed by lateral bending moment...

The purpose would be to describe and evaluate a novel technique of episcleral macular buckling in postvitrectomy recurrent macular hole retinal detachment in highly myopic eyes. A 7mm silicone sponge strengthened with a U-shaped 0.5mm orthodontics stainless steel wire fed along its length and hand-bent to produce L-shaped buckle of appropriate shape and length, is used. The episcleral macular b...

Abstract A novel buckling-induced forming method is proposed to produce metal bellows. The tube billet firstly treated by local heating and cooling, the axial loading applied on both ends of tube, then buckling occurs at designated position forms a convolution. In this paper, apparatus designed developed discontinuous continuous bellows 304 stainless steel, their characteristics are discussed r...

An efficient beam element, the modified elastofiber (MEF) element, has been developed to capture the overall features of the elastic and inelastic response of slender columns and braces under axial cyclic loading without unduly heavy discretization. It consists of three fiber segments, two at the member ends and one at mid-span, with two elastic segments sandwiched in between. The segments are ...

A parametric optimization problem of cross-sectional sizes for cold-formed steel lipped channel structural members subjected to axial compression has been considered by the paper. An is formulated as define optimum member taking into account post-buckling behavior (web and flange local distortional buckling) well requirements when profile perimeter (strip width), thickness, design lengths mater...

The exceptional structural strength and low cost of steel-concrete composite columns make them a popular choice for civil engineering structures. Numerous forms columns, including steel tubes filled with concrete, have been produced recently in response to various construction situations. Cold-formed tubular concrete filling higher ductility due their capacity withstand inner buckling postpone ...

This paper presents a finite element based numerical study on controlling the postbuckling behavior of thin-walled cylindrical shells under axial compression. With the increasing interest of various disciplines for harnessing elastic instabilities in materials and mechanical systems, the postbuckling behavior of thin-walled cylindrical shells may have a new role to design materials and structur...

The large amplitude steady state forced motion of a simply supported beam with ends restrained to remain a fixed distance apart is represented by a series of linear normal modes. The validity of the assumption of single mode response is examined by investigating the stability of the unforced modes when a single mode is forced. The equations include the effects of an initial axial load and numer...

Natural frequencies of a clamped axially loaded beam carrying an eccentric end rigid body are computed. A linearly varying non-follower axial force representing the beam’s own weight is taken into consideration. An analytical form of the frequency equation of the structure is obtained and solved numerically. The parameters associated with the end rigid body, the mass, the rotary inertia and the...
