Abstract: It is prohibitively expensive to store

Abstract: Based on current knowledge of connection behavior and the evaluation of previous models provided in a former companion paper, the Richard-Abbott power function, a four-parameter model, is adopted in this study to represent ...

Abstract: The paper presents a more accurate solution for the elastic, lateral‐torsional buckling of I‐beams under unequal end moments which incorporates accurately the effects of moment gradient, lateral end restraint, and beam ...

Abstract: A methodology based on finite‐element modeling is developed to analytically evaluate the moment‐rotation relationships for steel bolted end‐plate connections. ANSYS, version 4.4, a large‐scale general‐purpose finite‐element ...

Abstract: Interactive buckling of fibrous composite I-section beams is discussed in this paper. As a result of a linear combination of local and lateral-torsional buckling modes, which may arise when the critical loads of these two ...

Abstract: An analytical study of the transverse shear strain effect on the lateral buckling of thin-walled, open-section fibrous composite beams is presented in order to derive a better estimate of load capacity. Uniformly distributed ...

Abstract: The postbuckling analysis of cylindrically orthotropic circular plates is a theoretically challenging problem characterized by singularities due to ortho‐tropy and axisymmetry of deformations. In addition, geometric ...

Abstract: In composite structures characterized by lightweight, thin‐walled members, the linear buckling load is one of the most important design considerations. Plate structures (bridge decks and ship hulls) are often subjected to ...

Abstract: In this paper the behavior of plate and stiffener assemblies in uniaxial compression is investigated. As the geometric properties of the stiffeners dictate the in‐ and out‐of‐plane boundary conditions of the attached plate, ...

Abstract: The paper addresses the problem of finding an optimum thickness distribution for a rectangular, isotropic plate of given volume and plan dimensions (length and width) that would maximize its uniaxial buckling load, loosely ...
