This study aims to design novel tailorable and effective mechanisms by controlling buckling behaviour in structural elements of a composite wing for future morphing application. Instead the traditional against buckling, idea is embrace this built-in instability using nonlinear post-buckling response control stiffness changes which redistribute load structure. To enable desired multi-stable conf...

This paper presents the buckling analysis of the piezoelectric functionally graded material (FGM) rectangular plates subjected to non-uniformly distributed loads, heat and voltage based on the mesh-free method. A two-step solution procedure is implemented. The first step is to determine the pre-buckling stresses of the plates subjected to non-uniformly distributed loads. The second step is to s...

Advanced methods are now available for conformally wrapping planar, silicon-based electronics circuits onto complex, curvilinear surfaces. Here, buckling physics of circuits configured into mesh geometries consisting of silicon islands interconnected by narrow ribbons leads to out of plane displacements across different parts of the curvilinear surface, in a way that accommodates strains associ...

This paper describes an experimental investigation into the seismic behavior and efficiency of steel frames with special bracing infills. Cold formed steel studs (CFSS), typically used in nonstructural partition walls, were studied to determine if they could be used to laterally restrain braces against buckling and thus enhance their seismic performance. Four specimens were ductile designed and...

Single-layer special-shaped folded-plane latticed shell had been applied in Shenyang culture and art center. In order to analysis its static stability, explore the form of buckling modes find out critical load factor, this paper optimized structure with MIDAS Gen. Eigenvalue nonlinear showed that in-plane stiffness is very large, out-plane small, upside prone instability. The factor for 10.32, ...

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...

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...

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...
