An analytical method is developed for analysing the contact buckling response of infinitely long, thin corrugated plates and flat plates restrained by a Winkler tensionless foundation and subjected to linearly varying in-plane loadings, where the corrugated plates are modelled as orthotropic plates and the flat plates are modelled as isotropic plates. The critical step in the presented method is the explicit expression for the lateral buckling mode function, which is derived through using the energy method. Simply supported and clamped edges conditions on the unloaded edges are considered in this study. The acquired lateral deflection function is applied to the governing buckling equations to eliminate the lateral variable. Considering the boundary conditions and continuity conditions at the border line between the contact and non-contact zones, the buckling coefficients and the corresponding buckling modes are found. The analytical solution to the buckling coefficients is also expressed through a fitted approximate formula in terms of foundation stiffness, which is verified through previous studies and finite element (FE) method.

New material applications and transparency are desired by contemporary architects. Its superb transparency and high strength make glass a very suitable building material -in spite of its brittleness- even for primary load bearing structures. Currently we will focus on load bearing glass beams, subjected to different loading types. Since glass beams have a very slender, rectangular cross section, they are sensitive to lateral torsional buckling. Glass beams fail under a critical buckling load at stresses that lie far below the theoretical simple bending strength, due to the complex combination of torsion and out-of-plane bending, which characterises the instability phenomenon. The critical load can be increased considerably by preventing the upper rim from moving out of the beam's plane. Different boundary conditions are examined for different loading types. The load carrying capacity of glass beams can be increased three times and more using relatively simple, cheap lateral restraints.

In meeting the technical needs for deepwater conditions and overcoming the shortfalls of single-layer pipes for deepwater applications, pipe-in-pipe (PIP) systems have been developed. While, for PIP pipelines directly laid on the seabed or with partial embedment, one of the primary service risks is lateral buckling. The critical axial force is a key factor governing the global lateral buckling response that has been paid much more attention. It is influenced by global imperfections, submerged weight, stiffness, pipe-soil interaction characteristics, et al. In this study, Finite Element Models for imperfect PIP systems are established on the basis of 3D beam element and tube-to-tube element in Abaqus. A parameter study was conducted to investigate the effects of these parameters on the critical axial force and post-buckling forms. These parameters include structural parameters such as imperfections, clearance, and bulkhead spacing, pipe/soil interaction parameter, for instance, axial and lateral friction properties between pipeline and seabed, and load parameter submerged weight. Python as a programming language is been used to realize parametric modeling in Abaqus. Some conclusions are obtained which can provide a guide for the design of PIP pipelines.

본 논문에는 국부좌굴이 발생하는 휨부재의 유한요소해석 및 실험에 근거한 단면의 휨강도에 대하여 기술하였다. 박판으로 구성된 휨부재는 단면조건 및 횡방향 경계조건에 따라서 국부좌굴, 횡-비틀림좌굴 및 두 좌굴의 혼합좌굴이 발생하게 된다. 플랜지나 복부의 폭-두 께비가 큰 경우 횡-비틀림좌굴 발생 이전에 국부좌굴이 발생하며, 국부좌굴은 휨부재의 횡-비틀림좌굴강도에 영향을 미치게 된다. 이런 현상은 박판 형강의 휨강도 산정 시 고려하여야 한다. 다양한 폭-두께비를 갖는 플랜지와 복부판으로 구성된 휨부재의 해석에 국부좌굴 및 횡좌굴 모드의 초기처짐 및 잔류응력을 포함하였다. 해석결과 및 실험에 근거하여 국부좌굴과 횡-비틀림좌굴을 고려하는 설계강도식을 제안하였다. 제안된 직접강도법은 실험에 근거한 강도식과 유효단면 대신 총단면의 단면계수를 사용한다. 제안된 강도식에 의한 휨강도를 AISC, EC3 및 도로교설계기준과 비교하여 보았다. 제안된 직접강도법은 국부좌굴과 횡-비틀림좌굴의 혼합 유무와 상관없이 휨부재의 휨강도를 적절하게 예측할 수 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

This paper presents the lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) of beams or girders with continuous lateral support at top flange. Traditional moment gradient factors ($C_b$) given by AISC in LRFD Specification for Structural Steel Buildings and by AASHTO in LRFD Bridge Design Specifications were reviewed. Finite-element method buckling analyses of doubly symmetric I-shaped beams with continuous top bracing were conducted to develop new moment gradient factors. A uniformly distributed load was applied at midheight and either or both end moments were applied at the ends of beams. The proposed solutions are simple and accurate for use by engineers to determine the LTB resistance of beams.

The drop type impact test and finite element analysis are established for examining the buckling behavior of a square tube under the lateral impact load. Based on these results, the effects by the boundary conditions for supporting the structure are reviewed, which are as follows. One is pinned condition by screw; the other is fixed by welding. The critical impact force and acceleration by test are nearly same between two cases. However, the critical impact velocity of the pinned condition is higher than that of the fixed case. Therefore, the dynamic buckling behavior of a pinned structure is better than the fixed condition in view of critical impact velocity. These test and analysis results will be adaptable for predicting the dynamic structural integrity of a tube structure not only the axial impact event but the lateral impact event.

The paper begins by presenting a unified variational approach to the lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) analysis of doubly symmetric prismatic and tapered thin-walled beams with open cross-sections, which accounts for the influence of the pre-buckling deflections. This approach (i) extends the kinematical assumptions usually adopted for prismatic beams, (ii) consistently uses shell membrane theory in general coordinates and (iii) adopts Trefftz's criterion to perform the bifurcation analysis. The proposed formulation is then applied to investigate the influence of the pre-buckling deflections on the LTB behaviour of prismatic and web-tapered I-section simply supported beams and cantilevers. After establishing an interesting analytical result, valid for prismatic members with shear centre loading, several elastic critical moments/loads are presented, discussed and, when possible, also compared with values reported in the literature. These numerical results, which are obtained by means of the Rayleigh-Ritz method, (i) highlight the qualitative differences existing between the LTB behaviours of simply supported beams and cantilevers and (ii) illustrate how the influence of the pre-buckling deflections on LTB is affected by a number of factors, namely ($ii_1$) the minor-to-major inertia ratio, ($ii_2$) the beam length, ($ii_3$) the location of the load point of application and ($ii_4$) the bending moment diagram shape.

Design equations for calculating the lateral-torsional buckling moment resistances of I-section beams with continuous lateral top-flange bracing subjected to several loading conditions are investigated based on elastic finite-element analyses. The equations presented in this study are compared with current moment gradient modifiers presented by other researchers and specifications. The equation suggested in the SSRC Guides(1998) has a good agreement with the results of finite-element analyses. The moment gradient correction factors proposed in the SSRC Guides(1998) should be easily used to calculate the lateral-torsional buckling moment resistance of I-beams with continuous lateral top-flange bracing.

The lateral stability of curved continuous welded rail (CWR) is studied fur buckling prevention. This study includes the influences of vehicle induced loads on the thermal buckling behavior of straight and curved CWR tracks. quasi-static loads model is assumed to determine the uplift region, which occurs due to the vertical track deformation induced by wheel loads of vehicle. Parametric numerical analyses are performed to calculate the upper and lower critical buckling temperatures of CWR tracks. The parameters include track lateral resistance, track curvature, longitudinal stiffness, tie-ballast friction coefficient, axle load, truck center spacing, and the ratio of lateral to vertical vehicle load. This study provides a guideline for the improvement or stability for dynamic buckling in on tracks.
