Abstract: A new type of combined cable-stayed bridge, named the extradosed and intradosed cable-stayed bridge with continuous cables, is presented to improve the mechanical behavior of the traditional extradosed bridges. The ...

Abstract: Moderately thick perfect cylindrical shells under axial compression first exhibit an axisymmetric buckling mode, where a localization of buckling patterns, referred to as an elephant foot bulge, is caused by the first ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the cyclic-localization behavior of axisymmetric plastic buckling patterns of cylindrical shells in terms of its influence on strength deterioration. Since localization occurs due to a plastic ...
