Abstract: The paper deals with the nonlinear buckling analysis of pipelines supported by frozen soil and subjected to differential soil movements. The adopted structural model affords a parametric examination ...

Abstract: A consistent theoretical investigation of geometrically nonlinear creep buckling behavior of structures is presented. The study is based on the analysis of eccentrically compressed viscoelastic columns with the material ...

Abstract: An elastic ring in rigid confinement may buckle inward when pressure is applied by a uniform inward movement of the confining rigid frame, particularly when a defect or initial inward deflection is present. As a result, ...

Abstract: The stability of a ring confined by a rigid boundary, subjected to circumferential end loads, is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The effect of initial geometric imperfections ...
