Abstract: This paper summarizes some important results concerning the analysis and design of tubular compliant-tower members. The tubes are subjected to a combination of structural loads and external ...

Abstract: A study is made of time-harmonic wave modes in an elastic layer in plane strain with traction-free surfaces. It is demonstrated that, at points of the Rayleigh-Lamb frequency spectrum where ...

Abstract: A computational technique is described for the analysis of propagating buckles in deep-water piplines. The technique is applied to an aluminum-alloy pipe for which experimental results are ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of a rigorous nonlinear finite element technique for the stability analysis of ring-stiffened steel tubes under external pressure. Large deformation, plasticity, as ...
