The objective of this paper is to provide analytical expressions for the elastic cross-section local buckling stress, including element interaction, of hot-rolled steel structural shapes. The crosssection local buckling stress is determined by finite strip analysis. Local stability of each crosssection is considered in axial compression, as well as positive and negative bending about the major ...

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...

The development of local buckling in the web-post and the compressive regions around the openings of cellular beams is often a critical design consideration. The current buckling assessment of such scenario is still based on simplified models, which are calibrated against detailed finite element models only for specific geometries including layout and range of dimensions, Moreover, the direct u...

this study aimed to investigate the effects of stiffeners on buckling of thin cylindrical shells under uniform axial compression. to this end, more than 300 finite element models of stiffened cylindrical shells were prepared. the variables considered are shell thickness, number, dimension and the location of the vertical and horizontal stiffeners as well as circular symmetrical imperfections. r...

We have demonstrated compression stress induced mechanical deformation of microtubules (MTs) on a two-dimensional elastic medium and investigated the role of compression strain, strain rate, and a MT-associated protein in the deformation of MTs. We show that MTs, supported on a two-dimensional substrate by a MT-associated protein kinesin, undergo buckling when they are subjected to compression ...

Tortuous arteries are often associated with aging, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and degenerative vascular diseases, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. Our recent theoretical analysis suggested that mechanical instability (buckling) may lead to tortuous blood vessels. The objectives of this study were to determine the critical pressure of artery buckling and the effects of elastin degra...

Although buckling instabilities in elastic solids have been known for a long time, high interest in this phenomenon is relatively recent. The current and prospective applications in flexible electronics, materials with tunable surface properties (adhesion and wettability), responsive photonic and phononic structures, and reinforced nanocomposites led to a surge in the interest in buckling insta...

The objective of the present study is to describe the results of research that has been conducted on the buckling behavior of rectangular laminated orthotropic plates that have a rectangular hole. As a result of using some geometrical holes which cause stress concentrations on laminated orthotropic plates, the analysis about the buckling coefficient of the elements become very important. This w...

conclusions atypical irregular tumors should be considered as sos when the patient has received oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. a qualitative imaging modality diagnosis, such as with diffusion-weighted mri, is superior to a morphological diagnosis in focal sos. this imaging modality can prevent unnecessary operations. case presentation a 40-year-old woman with rectal cancer underwent high anter...

in this article, surface stress and nonlocal effects on the biaxial and uniaxial buckling of rectangular silver nanoplates embedded in elastic media are investigated using finite difference method (fdm). the uniform temperature change is utilized to study thermal effect. the surface energy effects are taken into account using the gurtin-murdoch’s theory. using the principle of virtual work, the...
