Abstract: Several methods of second‐order elastic analysis are developed here primarily for the practical use in mini‐ and microcomputers. To this end, the stiffness equations derived from the analytical solutions are first expressed ...

Abstract: In current engineering practice, to evaluate the stability of columns in frames with rigid and semirigid connections, one must estimate the effective length factor (

Abstract: Although flexible pipes have already been in wide use in the offshore industry, studies on their mechanical strength are few and far between, and their industrial standards are yet to be ...
