Response analysis of the buried pipeline subjected to reverse fault displacement is very important for design, detection and protection of buried pipelines. This paper looks at the buckling behavior of a buried pipeline subjected to reverse fault displacement in the rock stratum. Effects of internal pressure, wall thickness, fault displacement and burial depth on the buckling mode and the axial...

Quantitative description of cell mechanics has challenged biological scientists for the past two decades. Various structural models have been attempted to analyze the structure of the cytoskeleton. One important aspect that has been largely ignored in all these modeling approaches is related to the flexural and buckling behavior of microtubular filaments. The objective of this paper is to explo...

Buckling behavior of laminated composite plates subjected to in-plane loads is an important consideration in the preliminary design of aircraft components. The sizing of many structural subcomponents of the aircraft structures is often determined by stability constraints. The objective of the current study is to understand the influence of the length-to-thickness ratio, the aspect ratio, the fi...

Using  principle  of  minimum  total  potential  energy  approach  in conjunction  with  Rayleigh-Ritz  method,  the  electro-thermo- mechanical  axial  buckling  behavior  of  piezoelectric  polymeric cylindrical  shell  reinforced  with  double-walled  boron-nitride nanotube  (DWBNNT)  is  investigated. Coupling  between  electrical and mechanical  fields  are  considered  according  to  ...

Instability and structural transitions arise in many important problems involving dynamics at molecular length scales. Buckling of an elastic rod under a compressive load offers a useful general picture of such a transition. However, the existing theoretical description of buckling is applicable in the load response of macroscopic structures, only when fluctuations can be neglected, whereas mem...

geometric and material nonlinear behavior of slender webs in i-column girders having stocky flanges under the action of combined lateral and axial loads is investigated. interaction curves corresponding to the application of compressive and shear loads at buckling and ultimate stages for both web plates and column sections are plotted. in addition, the effects of flange and web slenderness rati...

Arteries can buckle axially under applied critical buckling pressure due to a mechanical instability. Buckling can cause arterial tortuosity leading to flow irregularities and stroke. Genetic mutations in elastic fiber proteins are associated with arterial tortuosity in humans and mice, and may be the result of alterations in critical buckling pressure. Hence, the objective of this study is to ...

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...

in this paper, a new analytical method is proposed to study the effect of crack and axial load on vibration behavior and stability of the cracked columns. using the local flexibility model, the crack has been simulated by a torsional spring with connecting two segments of column in crack location. by solving governing eigenvalue equation, the effect of crack parameters and axial load on the nat...
