| Abstract: | A thin, elastic circular arch, clamped at its ends and constrained in a rigid cavity, is subjected to a uniformly distributed parallel loading. Stability of equilibrium in the large “snap-through” is investigated both analytically and experimentally and good agreement is found to exist between the two modes of investigation. It is concluded that the set of simplifying assumptions introduced in the analysis is justified. Simple analytical results obtained in the paper allow the design of underground shelters under this type of loading. |
