Stability analysis of viscoelastic thin shallow hyperbolic paraboloid shells

The stability of linearly viscoelastic flexible shallow hyperbolic paraboloid shell is analysed under transverse load. Allowances are made for geometrical nonlinearity and initial imperfections of the surface shape. By application of the method of finite differences with respect to geometrical variables and the method of differentiation with respect to a parameter (time) the solution for the system of equilibrium non-linear integro-differential equations is reduced to Cauchys problem which can be solved numerically. The critical time was shown to depend on the load, curvature, initial imperfections and edge elements compressibility. Critical loads for an outlying time moment are determined.     

Long-term non-linear behaviour and buckling of shallow concrete-filled steel tubular arches

This paper presents a theoretical analysis for the long-term non-linear elastic in-plane behaviour and buckling of shallow concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) arches. It is known that an elastic shallow arch does not buckle under a load that is lower than the critical loads for its bifurcation or limit point buckling because its buckling equilibrium configuration cannot be achieved, and the arch is in a stable equilibrium state although its structural response may be quite non-linear under the load. However, for a CFST arch under a sustained load, the visco-elastic effects of creep and shrinkage of the concrete core produce significant long-term increases in the deformations and bending moments and subsequently lead to a time-dependent change of its equilibrium configuration. Accordingly, the bifurcation point and limit point of the time-dependent equilibrium path and the corresponding buckling loads of CFST arches also change with time. When the changing time-dependent bifurcation or limit point buckling load of a CFST arch becomes equal to the sustained load, the arch may buckle in a bifurcation mode or in a limit point mode in the time domain. A virtual work method is used in the paper to investigate bifurcation and limit point buckling of shallow circular CFST arches that are subjected to a sustained uniform radial load. The algebraically tractable age-adjusted effective modulus method is used to model the time-dependent behaviour of the concrete core, based on which solutions for the prebuckling structural life time corresponding to non-linear bifurcation and limit point buckling are derived.     

Nonlinear analysis and buckling of elastically supported circular shallow arches

Arches are often supported elastically by other structural members. This paper investigates the in-plane nonlinear elastic behaviour and stability of elastically supported shallow circular arches that are subjected to a radial load uniformly distributed around the arch axis. Analytical solutions for the nonlinear behaviour and for the nonlinear buckling load are obtained for shallow arches with equal or unequal elastic supports. It is found that the flexibility of the elastic supports and the shallowness of the arch play important roles in the nonlinear structural response of the arch. The limiting shallownesses that distinguish between the buckling modes are obtained and the relationship of the limiting shallowness with the flexibility of the elastic supports is established, and the critical flexibility of the elastic radial supports is derived. An arch with equal elastic radial supports whose flexibility is larger than the critical value becomes an elastically supported beam curved in elevation, while an arch with one rigid and one elastic radial support whose flexibility is larger than the critical value still behaves as an arch when its shallowness is higher than a limiting shallowness. Comparisons with finite element results demonstrate that the analytical solutions and the values of the critical flexibility of the elastic supports and the limiting shallowness of the arch are valid.     

Nonlinear in-plane thermal buckling of rotationally restrained functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite shallow arches under uniform radial loading

The nonlinear in-plane instability of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) shallow circular arches with rotational constraints subject to a uniform radial load in a thermal environment is investigated. Assuming arches with thickness-graded material properties, four different distribution patterns of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered. The classical arch theory and Donnell’s shallow shell theory assumptions are used to evaluate the arch displacement field, and the analytical solutions of buckling equilibrium equations and buckling loads are obtained by using the principle of virtual work. The critical geometric parameters are introduced to determine the criteria for buckling mode switching. Parametric studies are carried out to demonstrate the effects of temperature variations, material parameters, geometric parameters, and elastic constraints on the stability of the arch. It is found that increasing the volume fraction of CNTs and distributing CNTs away from the neutral axis significantly enhance the bending stiffness of the arch. In addition, the pretension and initial displacement caused by the temperature field have significant effects on the buckling behavior.     

Dynamic buckling of a shallow arch under shock loading considering the effects of the arch shape

In this paper, the influence of the initial curvature of thin shallow arches on the dynamic pulse buckling load is examined. Using numerical means and a multi-dof semi-analytical model, both quasi-static and non-linear transient dynamical analyzes are performed. The influence of various parameters, such as pulse duration, damping and, especially, the arch shape is illustrated. Moreover, the results are numerically validated through a comparison with results obtained using finite element modeling. The main results are firstly that the critical shock level can be significantly increased by optimizing the arch shape and secondly, that geometric imperfections have only a mild influence on these results. Furthermore, by comparing the sensitivities of the static and dynamic buckling loads with respect to the arch shape, non-trivial quantitative correspondences are found.     

Effect of the system imperfections on the dynamic response of a high-static-low-dynamic stiffness vibration isolator

The dynamic response of a high-static-low-dynamic stiffness (HSLDS) isolator formed by parallelly connecting a negative stiffness corrector which uses compressed Euler beams to a linear isolator is investigated in this study. Considering stiffness and load imperfections, the resonance frequency and response of the proposed isolator are obtained by employing harmonic balance method. The HSLDS isolator with quasi-zero stiffness characteristics can offer the lowest resonance frequency provided that there is only stiffness or load imperfection. If load imperfection always exists, there is no need to make the stiffness to zero since it cannot provide the lowest resonance frequency any longer. The reason for this unusual phenomenon is given. The dynamic response will exhibit softening, hardening, and softening-to-hardening characteristics, depending on the combined effect of load imperfection, stiffness imperfection, and excitation amplitude. In general, load imperfection makes the response exhibit softening characteristic and increasing stiffness imperfection will weak this effect. Increasing the excitation level will make the isolator undergo complex switch between different stiffness characteristics.     

Critical Imperfection Territory∗

The critical limit load of elastic structures can decrease due to the effect of unavoidable imperfections. The “critical imperfection territory” covers all imperfections resulting in a value of the critical load that is smaller than a prescribed value. These territories are determined with the help of a potential function and by using results of catastrophe theory. General rules for their determination are outlined and the specific critical imperfection territories are shown for the most important cases (fold, cusp, and elliptic and hyperbolic umbilic catastrophes). These territories give information similar to that given by imperfection-sensitivity surfaces, but they use a space of one less dimension.     

Optimal Forms of Shallow Arches with Respect to Vibration and Stability

Shallow, linearly elastic arches of unspecified form but with given uniform cross section and material are considered. For given span and length of the arch, two different optimization problems are formulated and solved. In the first, we determine the form of the arch which maximizes the fundamental vibration frequency. The corresponding vibration mode turns out to be either symmetric or antisymmetric. In the second, a static load with given spatial distribution is considered, and the critical value of the load magnitude for snap-through instability is maximized. This instability may occur at a limit point or a bifurcation point. Optimal forms are determined for sinusoidal loading, uniform loading, and a central concentrated load. In both types of problems, arches with simply supported or clamped ends are considered, and the maximum frequencies and critical loads obtained are compared to those for a circular arch with similar end conditions. In all the cases with simply supported ends, it is found that a circular arch is almost optimal. For clamped ends, however, it turns out that the optimal arches have zero slope at the ends and that they are much more efficient than a circular arch.
