The buckling problem of circular cylindrical shells under axial compression, external pressure, and torsion is investigated using a displacement function φ. A governing differential equation for the stability of thin cylindrical shells under combined loading of axial compression, external pressure, and torsion is derived. A method for the solutions of this equation is also presented. The advantage in using the present equation over the customary three differential equations for displacements is that only one trial solution is needed in solving the buckling problems as shown in the paper. Four possible combinations of boundary conditions for a simply supported edge are treated. The case of a cylinder under axial compression is carried out in detail. For two types of simple supported boundary conditions, SS1 and SS2, the minimum critical axial buckling stress is found to be 43.5 percent of the well-known classical value Eh/R3(1−ν2) against the 50 percent of the classical value presently known.

The stability of simply supported conical shells under axial compression is investigated for 4 different sets of in-plane boundary conditions with a linear Donnell-type theory. The first two stability equations are solved by the assumed displacement, while the third is solved by a Galerkin procedure. The boundary conditions are satisfied with 4 unknown coefficients in the expression for u and v. Both circumferential and axial restraints are found to be of primary importance. Buckling loads about half the “classical” ones are obtained for all but the stiffest simple supports SS4 (v = u = 0). Except for short shells, the effects do not depend on the length of the shell. The physical reason for the low buckling loads in the SS3 case is explained and the essential difference between cylinder and cone in this case is discussed. Buckling under combined axial compression and external or internal pressure is studied and interaction curves have been calculated for the 4 sets of in-plane boundary conditions.

The stability of thin composite layered anisotropic cylindrical shells under axial compression is considered for the case of nonuniform boundary conditions. Such conditions are employed to model the situation where there is edge damage to the shell. The influence of weakening or a crack at an edge on the critical buckling load of a variety of single and multilayered shells is investigated. Results indicate that isotropic shells exhibit a rather sudden steep reduction in the critical buckling load for relatively small edge damage. However, some anisotropic composite shells may not be so sensitive and, in contrast, only a gradual reduction may be brought about by the edge damage. The degree of sensitivity to edge damage appears to be dependent, in some complex fashion, on the various geometric and physical shell parameters.

In this paper, the buckling analysis of conical shell under transverse pressure or axial compression is studied using the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM) for various boundary conditions. Based on the Donnell theory of shell, the equilibrium equations are obtained using Hamilton’s principle. The adjacent equilibrium criterion is employed to defining the stability equations of conical shell subjected to lateral pressure and axial compression. Then the stability equations are solved numerically using DQM and employing the concept of extra degrees of freedom. The acquired results in special cases are compared with the results in literature for the accuracy evaluation of the method and a good agreement can be seen. The non-dimensional critical buckling loads are tabulated for different vertex angles, some thickness-radius ratios and various combinations of boundary conditions. Also, the effects of the vertex angle, boundary conditions, length-radius ratio and thickness-length ratio on the buckling behavior of the conical shell are investigated in details.

Abstract This study investigates the stability of timber members subjected to simultaneously acting axial compression and bending moment, with possible risk for torsional and flexural–torsional buckling. This situation can occur in laterally supported members where one side of the member is braced but the other side is unbraced. In this case, the free side will buckle out of plane while the braced side will be prevented from torsional and flexural–torsional buckling. This problem can be evident for long members in timber-frame structures, which are subjected to high axial compression combined with bending moments in which the member is not sufficiently braced at both sides. This study is based on the design requirement stated in Eurocode 5. Solution methods discussed in this paper can be of interest within the framework of structural and building Engineering practices and education in which the stability of structural elements is investigated. Article Highlights This case study investigates some design situations where the timber member is not sufficiently braced. In this case, a stability problem associated with combined torsional buckling and flexural buckling can arise. The study shows that the torsional and/or flexural–torsional buckling of timber members can be important to control in order to fulfil the criteria of the stability of the member according to Eurocode 5 and help the structural engineer to achieve safer designs. The study investigates also a simplified solution to check the effect of flexural torsional buckling of laterally braced timber members.

The stability, natural characteristics and critical axial force of a supported beam are analyzed. The both ends of the beam are held by the pinned supports with rotational spring constraints. The eigenvalue problem of the beam with these boundary conditions is investigated firstly, and then, the stability of the beam is analyzed using the derived eigenfuntions. According to the analytical expression obtained, the effect of the spring constants on the critical values of the axial force is discussed.


The analysis of part I is extended to deal with the case of free-edged rectangular plates having an initial curvature about an axis parallel to one pair of opposite edges and loaded by distributed bending moments applied to the straight edges and compressive forces applied to the curved edges. In particular, the stability and post-buckling behaviour of such plates subjected to the compressive forces alone is studied. The axially symmetrical buckling of thin-walled circular tubes in axial compression is also considered. Experimental plates are found to buckle at loads rather lower than those predicted.

Abstract In this paper the stability of the lateral dynamic behavior of a pinned-pinned, clamped-pinned and clamped-clamped beam under axial periodic force or torque is studied. The time-varying parameter equations are derived using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The stability analysis of the solution is based on Floquet’s theory and investigated in detail. The Rayleigh-Ritz results are compared to those of a finite element modal reduction. It shows that the lateral instabilities of the beam depend on the forcing frequency, the type of excitation and the boundary conditions. Several experimental tests enable the validation of the numerical results.
