Abstract: Reinforced concrete beams with flexural cracks are simulated by the bridged crack model. The weight function method of determining stress intensity factors has been followed to derive a transformation between the crack ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive set of exact stability criteria for Euler columns with an intermediate elastic restraint. A subset of this class of problem is the buckling problem of columns with an intermediate rigid ...

Abstract: Presented herein are exact stability criteria for Euler columns under intermediate and end concentrated axial loads. The stability criteria cover all combinations of classical boundary conditions, arbitrary location of the ...
