With dynamic loading like landing impact a distinction should be made between relatively short and long, quasistatic loading durations, and loadings the durations of which are in the order of the longest lateral period (lowest eigenfrequency) of the structure. A particular problem is to be expected under the later loadings where the interaction of loading dynamics with the dynamics of the buckl...

Background: Scaling laws for cylindrical column buckling are reviewed, applicable to the cardio-vascular system arteries or veins of various thicknesses to diameter ratios. Methods: Critical buckling load scales as (hr/L^2) for axial loads, (h/r)^3 for compressive circumferential loads, and ( h/r)^0.5 for pulse wave velocity. Results: Arteries and veins are most susceptible to buckling failure ...

The present research deals with the flexural-torsional buckling analysis of sandwich web and/or flanges tapered doubly-symmetric I-beam. All section walls are composed of two metal face layers and a functionally graded (FG) porous core. It is assumed that the material properties of the porous core vary gradually in the longitudinal direction according to the simple power-law function considerin...

In this research, thermal buckling of thin rectangular plate made of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) with linear varying thickness is considered. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The supporting condition of all edges of such a plate is simply supported. ...

This paper presents the elastic buckling of homogeneous beams with a pair of piezoelectric layers surface bonded on both sides of the beams. The displacement field of beam is assumed based on the Engesser-Timoshenko beam theory. Applying the Hamilton's principle, the equilibrium equation is established. The influences of applied voltage, dimensionless geometrical parameter and piezoelectric thi...

This paper studied Buckling analysis of porous truncated conical shell subjected to axial load. It is considered that a fluid undrained between porous material and the Porous material properties vary across the thickness of shell with a specific function also assumed that the edge of the shell is simply supported. The governing equations are based on the Sanders kinematics equations and the fir...

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...

The local buckling behavior of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) has been investigated and interpreted in the view of a collective nanotube response by taking van der Waals interactions into account. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the case of collective VACNT behavior regarding van der Waals force among nanotubes as a lateral support effect during the buckl...

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...

Magneto-electro-elastic materials are multiphase smart materials that exhibit coupling among electrical, magnetic and mechanical energy fields. Due to this ability, they have been the topic of numerous research in the past decade. In this paper, buckling behavior of a multiphase magneto-electro-elastic rectangular plate with simply supported boundary conditions is investigated, based on Reddy’s...
