Inelastic Ultimate Load Analysis of Steel Frames Considering Lateral Torsional Buckling Under Distributed Loads

A Survey on Buckling and Vibrations of a Viscoelastic Beam under Distributed Lateral and Axial Loads

In this paper, based on Kelvin and Linear Standard Solid models, dynamic response and the buckling load of a viscoelastic beam under  lateral and axial loads have been determined. The governing equations have been extracted using Euler  and Timoshenko theories and their analytical solutions have been obtained by using the eigenfunctions expansion method. Buckling load have been calculated by us...

Advanced Analysis of Steel Frame Structures Subjected to Lateral Torsional Buckling Effects

Lateral Torsional Buckling of Steel Thin-Walled Beams with Lateral Restraints

Metal thin-walled members have been widely used in building industry. Usually they are utilized as purlins, girts or ceiling beams. Due to slenderness of thin-walled cross-sections these structural members are prone to stability problems (e.g. flexural buckling, lateral torsional buckling). If buckling is not constructionally prevented their resistance is limited by buckling strength. In practi...

Lateral-torsional buckling resistance of cold-formed high strength steel rectangular hollow beams

Hollow sections have been widely used for steel structures. Applications of High Strength Steel (HSS) on cold-formed hollow sections lead to thinner and lighter structures. This paper presents numerical investigations on the lateral-torsional buckling resistance of the cold-formed high strength steel rectangular hollow beam. Results from finite element analysis using Abaqus software are compare...

an investigation on steel knee braced frames for lateral loads

hysteretic dampers as the most practical passive control methods have improved the seismic performance of steel structures through energy dissipation induced by large inelastic deformations. among them in this paper, kbf (knee braced frames), a special form of braced frames having a diagonal brace connected to a knee element instead of beam-column joint, is investigated. in such systems, the kn...
