In this paper mathematical formulation for buckling analysis of a column and vibrationanalysis of a beam is presented. The beam and the column is assumed to be non-uniform and cracked.Using calculus of variations, the problem is expressed as an optimization problem. A technique ofoptimization is used for analysis of buckling load. Considering the similarity between the governingequation for buc...

Ranges of validity for the continuum-beam model, the length-scale effects and continuum assumptions are analyzed in the framework of scaling analysis of NT structure. Two coupled criteria for the applicability of the continuum model are presented. Scaling analysis of NT buckling and geometric parameters (e.g., diameter and length) is carried out to determine the key non-dimensional parameters t...

In order to improve the resilience of structures subjected strong earthquakes, a buckling-plate self-centering friction damper (BPSCFD) with low post-yielding stiffness is proposed, which consists group post-buckling plates and variable mechanism. The intended not only reduce peak residual deformation structures, but also limit additional internal force structural elements. Through theoretical ...

Generally, thin cylindrical shells are susceptible for geometrical imperfections like non-circularity, non-cylindricity, dents, swellings etc. All these geometrical imperfections decrease the static buckling strength of thin cylindrical shells. In this work, neighbourhood effect of two circumferential short dents on the buckling behaviour of thin short stainless steel cylindrical shell is studi...
