Abstract: The nonlinear mean-square multimode response of beams subjected to uniform pressure uncorrelated in time is investigated. The method of equivalent linearization is used to obtain mean-square ...

Abstract: An investigation of the buckling under uniform beam load of a rectangular frame with columns restrained by linear rotational springs indicates that for certain ranges of bending stiffness ratio, ...

Abstract: The large deflections of a simply supported beam, one end of which is free to move horizontally while the other is subjected to a moment, are investigated by means of inextensional elastica ...

Abstract: In this investigation, the stress distribution due to uniaxial tension of an infinitely long, thin, circular cylindrical shell with two equal small circular holes located along a generator is ...

Abstract: The stability of the large symmetrical deformations of circular rings under equal and equally spaced centrally directed loads is examined. It is found that for 5 or more loads the critical ...

Abstract: The deformation in bending of a circular ring loaded in its plane by concentrated forces is studied. The ring is assumed to be an elastica. The loads are of equal magnitudes and are equally ...

Abstract: The deformations and static stability of thin elastic circular rings under nonuniform pressures are studied. The investigation takes into account large bending deformations of the ring which is ...
