Interactive buckling in long thin-walled rectangular hollow section struts

Thin-walled beams: the case of the rectangular cross-section

In this paper we present an asymptotic analysis of the three-dimensional problem for a thin linearly elastic cantilever Ωε = ωε × (0, l) with rectangular cross-section ωε of sides ε and ε 2, as ε goes to zero. Under suitable assumptions on the given loads, we show that the threedimensional problem converges in a variational sense to the classical one-dimensional model for extension, flexure and...

Euler Buckling of Thin - Walled Composite Columns •

Pultruded composite structural members with open or closed thin-walled sections are being extensively used as columns for structural applications l1Jhere buckling is the main consideration in the design. In this paper, global buckling is investigated and critical loads are experimentally determined for various fiber reinforced composite I-beams of long column length. Southwell's method is used ...

Anisotropic Inhomogeneous Rectangular Thin-Walled Beams

This paper is devoted to the asymptotic analysis of the problem of linear elasticity for an anisotropic and inhomogeneous body occupying, in its reference configuration, a cylindrical domain with a rectangular cross section with sides proportional to ε and ε and clamped on one of its bases. The sequence of solutions u of the equilibrium problem is shown to converge in an appropriate topology, a...

Dynamic buckling of a thin thermoviscoplastic rectangular plate

The dynamic buckling of a thin orthotropic thermoviscoplastic plate is studied by analyzing the stability of a stressed/deformed plate under superimposed infinitesimal perturbations. Elastic deformations are neglected. The wavelength of the perturbation that has the maximum initial growth rate is assumed to determine the buckled shape of the plate. The buckled shape of a rectangular plate loade...
