Axisymmetric buckling of a spherical shell embedded in an elastic medium under uniaxial stress at infinity

The problem of a thin spherical linearly elastic shell perfectlybonded to an infinite linearly elastic medium is considered.A constant axisymmetric stress field is applied at infinityin the matrix, and the displacement and stress fields in theshell and matrix are evaluated by means of harmonic potentialfunctions. In order to examine the stability of this solution,the buckling problem of a shell which experiences this deformationis considered. Using Koiter's nonlinear shallow shell theory,restricting buckling patterns to those which are axisymmetricand using the Rayleigh–Ritz method by expanding the bucklingpatterns in an infinite series of Legendre functions, an eigenvalueproblem for the coefficients in the infinite series is determined.This system is truncated and solved numerically in order toanalyse the behaviour of the shell as it undergoes bucklingand to identify the critical buckling stress in two cases, namely,where the shell is hollow and the stress at infinity is eitheruniaxial or radial.     

Buckling and lateral buckling interaction in thin-walled beam-column elements with mono-symmetric cross sections

Effects of axial forces on beam lateral buckling strength are investigated here in the case of elements with mono-symmetric cross sections. A unique compact closed-form is established for the interaction of lateral buckling moment with axial forces. This new equation is derived from a non-linear stability model. It includes first order bending distribution, load height level and effect of mono-symmetry terms (Wagner’s coefficient and shear point position). Compared to the so-called three-factors (C₁–C₃) formula commonly employed in beam lateral buckling stability, another factor C₄ is added in presence of axial loads. Pre-buckling deflection effects are considered in the study and the case of doubly-symmetric cross sections is easily recovered. The proposed solutions are validated and compared to finite element simulations where 3D beam elements including warping are used. The agreement of the proposed solutions with bifurcations observed on the non-linear equilibrium paths is good. Dimensionless interaction curves are dressed for the beam lateral buckling strength and the applied axial load, where the flexural-torsional buckling axial force is a taken as reference.     

An isoperimetric inequality in the optimization of circular rings under normal pressure

The problem of determining the optimal cross section of a circular ring so as to maximize the buckling pressure under a given total volume is formulated and solved. An isoperimetric inequality is proved: Among all the circular rings of given mass and radius, the ring with constant bending rigidity along the arc length has the largest critical buckling pressure.     

Optimization of open cross sections of thin-walled beams with plate-shell-flanges

The paper is devoted to a monosymetrical cold-formed thin-walled beam with open cross section. Its flange consists of plates and circular shells. The beam is under pure bending. The cross section is characterized by dimensionless parameters. The authors are searching for an optimal cross section shape of considered beam. This optimal shape is determined by means of parametric optimization. The dimensionless objective function is so defined as to comprise both cross section area and a maximal allowable bending moment. The constraints follow from the local buckling conditions and geometric restrictions. Moreover, there are optimized cross sections of beams, for which the shear center is located either in the web or in the centroid of the cross section. Results are compared and analyzed.

Das Eulersche Knickproblem unter Berücksichtigung der Querkräfte

Summary The effect of shear forces and other stress components on the buckling load of a prismatic bar of arbitrary slenderness, hinged at both ends, is considered for the cases of narrow rectangular (plane stress or strain) and elliptic cross sections (three-dimensional problem). The problem is solved, using the asymptotic method, and the buckling loads are obtained as series with increasingly minor corrections.The results are then compared with the approximative ones of Euler, Engesser, Biezeno and Haringx.     

A general nonlocal nonlinear model for buckling of nanobeams

This study presents a unified model for the nonlocal response of nanobeams in buckling and postbuckling states. The formulation is suitable for the classical Euler–Bernoulli, first-order Timoshenko, and higher-order shear deformation beam theories. The small-scale effect is modeled according to the nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen. The equations of equilibrium are obtained using the principle of virtual work. The stress resultants are developed taking into account the nonlocal effect. Analytical solutions for the critical buckling load and the amplitude of the static nonlinear response in the postbuckling state are obtained. It is found out that as the nonlocal parameter increases, the critical buckling load reduces and the amplitude of buckling increases. Numerical results showing variation of the critical buckling load and the amplitude of buckling with the nonlocal parameter and the length-to-height ratio for simply supported and clamped–clamped nanobeams are presented.     

Nonlocal effect on axially compressed buckling of triple-walled carbon nanotubes under temperature field

This paper studies the small scale effect on the buckling behaviors of triple-walled carbon nanotubes (TWCNTs) with the initial axial stress under the temperature field. The TWCNTs are modeled as three elastic shells coupled together through vdW interaction between different layers. Buckling governing equations of CNTs are firstly formulated on the basis of nonlocal elastic theory and the small scale effect on CNTs buckling results with the change of temperature are then achieved. The results show that the critical buckling load is dependent on the temperature, scale parameter and wavenumber. Some conclusions are drawn that small scale effect will arise gradually with the increases of wavenumber, and the temperature can influence the ratio between the nonlocal buckling load and the corresponding local load. Furthermore, with or without effects of nonlocal considered, the same results is obtained that the axial buckling load increases as the value of temperature increases at low and room temperature condition, while at high temperature condition the axial buckling load decreases as the value of temperature increases.     

Nonlinear buckling and postbuckling of a shear-deformable anisotropic laminated cylindrical panel under axial compression

The nonlinear buckling and postbuckling of a shear-deformable anisotropic laminated cylindrical panel of finite length is investigated based on a boundary-layer theory for buckling. The layers of the panel are assumed to be linearly elastic. The governing equations are based on Reddy’s higher-order shear deformation theory of shells and include the von Karman-type kinematic nonlinearity and extension/twist, extension/flexure, and flexure/twist couplings. The nonlinear prebuckling deformations and the initial geometric imperfections of the panel are both taken into account. The postbuckling behavior of the panel under axial compression is analyzed. A singular perturbation technique is employed to determine its buckling loads and postbuckling equilibrium paths. The numerical illustrations concern the postbuckling behavior of perfect and imperfect moderately thick anisotropic laminated cylindrical panels with different geometric parameters and stacking sequences. The new finding reveals that there arises a compressive stress along with an associate shear stress and twisting when a moderately thick anisotropic laminated cylindrical panel is subjected to axial compression.     

Nonlinear buckling behavior of 3D-braided composite cylindrical shells subjected to internal pressure loads in thermal environments

The nonlinear buckling behavior of a 3D-braided composite cylindrical shell of finite length subjected to internal pressure in thermal environments is considered. According to a new micromacromechanical model, a 3D-braided composite may be treated as a cell system where the geometry of each cell strongly depends on its position in the cross section of the cylindrical shell. The material properties of the epoxy matrix are expressed as linear functions of temperature. The governing equations are based on Reddy’s higher-order shear deformation theory of shells with a von Karman–Donnell-type kinematic nonlinearity and include thermal effects. The singular perturbation technique is employed to determine the buckling pressure and the postbuckling equilibrium paths of the shell.

Thermal buckling analysis of point-supported laminated composite plates in unilateral contact

This paper deals with the thermal buckling analysis of point-supported thin laminated composite plates. The analysis is performed for rhombic and rectangular plates and two cases of bilateral and unilateral buckling. In the unilateral buckling, it is assumed that the plate is in contact with a rigid surface and lateral deflection is forced to be only in one direction. The element-free Galerkin (EFG) method is employed to discretize equilibrium equations. Point supports are modeled in the form of distinct restrained circular surfaces through developing a numerical procedure based on the Lagrange multiplier technique. The unilateral behavior of the plate is incorporated in the analysis by using the penalty method and the Heaviside contact function. The final system of nonlinear algebraic equations is solved iteratively. Two types of point support arrangements are considered and the effect of different parameters such as number of point supports, plate aspect ratio and lamination scheme on the buckling coefficient of composite plates is investigated.     

Thermal effects on buckling of shear deformable nanocolumns with von Kármán nonlinearity based on nonlocal stress theory

Thermal buckling of nanocolumns considering nonlocal effect and shear deformation is investigated based on the nonlocal elasticity theory and the Timoshenko beam theory. By expressing the nonlocal stress as nonlinear strain gradients and based on the variational principle and von Kármán nonlinearity, new higher-order differential governing equations with corresponding higher-order nonlocal boundary conditions both in transverse and axial directions for instability of nanocolumns are derived. New analytical solutions for some practical examples on instability of nanocolumns are presented and analyzed in detail. The paper concluded that the critical buckling load is significantly increased in the presence of nonlocal stress and the results confirm that nanocolumn stiffness is enhanced by nanoscale size effect and reduced by shear deformation. The critical temperature change is increased with larger diameter to length ratio and higher nonlocal nanoscale. It is also concluded that at low and room temperatures the buckling load of nanocolumns increases with increasing temperature change, while at high temperature the buckling load decreases with increasing temperature change.     

Critical time of a long multilayer viscoelastic shell

The buckling in stability of a long multilayer linearly viscoelastic shell, composed of different materials and loaded with a uniformly distributed external pressure of given intensity, is investigated. By neglecting the influence of fastening of its end faces, the initial problem is reduced to an analysis of the loss of load-carrying capacity of a ring of unit width separated from the shell. The new problem is solved by using a mixed-type variational method, allowing for the geometric nonlinearity, together with the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The creep kernels are taken exponential with equal indices of creep. As an example, a three-layer ring with a structure symmetric about its midsurface is considered, and the effect of its physicomechanical and geometrical parameters, as well as of wave formation, on the critical time of buckling in stability of the ring is determined. It is found that, by selecting appropriate materials, more efficient multilayer shell-type structural members can be created. __________ Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 43, No. 5, pp. 617–628, September–October, 2007.     

Elastic buckling and vibration analyses of orthotropic nanoplates using nonlocal continuum mechanics and spline finite strip method

This paper addresses the elastic buckling and vibration characteristics of isotropic and orthotropic nanoplates using finite strip method. In order to consider small scale effect, Eringen’s nonlocal continuum elasticity is employed. The governing nanoplate equations are derived using the principle of virtual work while B3-spline finite strip method is applied to the buckling and vibration analyses. The buckling load and vibration frequency of graphene sheets, which are subjected to biaxial compression and pure shear loading, are determined whilst the effects of different parameters such as sheet size, nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio and boundary conditions are investigated. The interaction curves of the critical biaxial compression loading as well as the interaction curves of the critical uniaxial compression and shear loading are also obtained. It is shown that small scale effect plays considerable role in the analysis of small sizes plates.     

Elastic and inelastic local buckling of stiffened plates subjected to non-uniform compression using the Galerkin method

A solution for the elastic and inelastic local buckling of flat rectangular plates with centerline boundary conditions subjected to non-uniform in-plane compression and shear stress is presented. The loaded edges are simply supported, the longitudinal edges may have any boundary conditions and the centerline is simply supported with a variable rotational stiffness. The Galerkin method, an effective method for solving differential equations, is applied to establish an eigenvalue problem. In order to obtain plate buckling coefficients, combined trigonometric and polynomial functions that satisfy the boundary conditions are used. The method is programmed, and several numerical examples including elastic and inelastic local buckling, are presented to illustrate the scope and efficacy of the procedure. The variation of buckling coefficients with aspect ratio is presented for various stress gradient ratios. The solution is applicable to stiffened plates and the flange of the I-shaped beams that are subjected to biaxial bending or combined flexure and torsion and shear stresses, and is important to estimate the reduction in elastic buckling capacity due to stress gradient.     

Buckling analysis of a ring under the action of internal pressure in a cylindrical shell

Buckling analysis of a thin cylindrical shell stiffened by rings with T-shaped cross section under the action of uniform internal pressure in the shell is performed. An annular plate stiffened over the outer edge by a circular beam is used as the ring model. The classical ring model, which is a beam with a T-shaped cross section, is inappropriate in this problem, since in the case of the loss of stability, buckling deformations are localized on the ring surface. The beam model does not allow one to find the critical pressure that corresponds to such a loss of stability. In the first approximation, the problem of the loss of stability of the annular plate connected with the shell is reduced to solving the boundary value problem for finding eigenvalues of the annular plate bending equation. Approximate formulas for determining critical pressure are obtained under the assumption that the plate width is much smaller than its inner radius. The results found using the Rayleigh method and the shooting method differ slightly from each other. It has been demonstrated that the critical pressure for rings with rectangular cross section is higher than that for rings with a T-shaped cross section.
