Abstract In this paper, we consider weak solutions of the Euler–Lagrange equation to a variational energy functional modeling the geometrically nonlinear Cosserat micropolar elasticity of continua in dimension three, which is a system coupling between the Poisson equation and the equation of $p$-harmonic maps ($2\le p\le 3$). We show that if a weak solution is stationary, then its singular set is discrete for $2<p<3$ and has zero one-dimensional Hausdorff measure for $p=2$. If, in addition, it is a stable-stationary weak solution, then it is regular everywhere when $p\in [2, \frac{32}{15}]$.

Hinged Support

Geometric nonlinearity shallow shells on a square and rectangular plan with constant and variable thickness are considered. Loss of stability of a structure due to a decrease in the rigidity of one of the support (transition from fixed support to hinged support) is considered. The Bubnov-Galerkin method is used to solve differential equations of shallow geometrically nonlinear shells. The Vlasov's beam functions are used for approximating. The use of dimensionless quantities makes it possible to repeat the calculations and obtain similar dependences. The graphs are given that make it possible to assess the reduction in the critical load in the shell at each stage of reducing the rigidity of the support and to predict the further behavior of the structure. Regularities of changes in internal forces for various types of structure support are shown. Conclusions are made about the necessary design solutions to prevent the progressive collapse of the shell due to a decrease in the rigidity of one of the supports.

Geometric Stiffness

Conventional co-rotational formulations for geometrically nonlinear analysis are based on the assumption that the finite element is only subjected to nodal loads and as a result, they are not accurate for the elements under distributed member loads. The magnitude and direction of member loads are treated as constant in the global coordinate system, but they are essentially varying in the local coordinate system for the element undergoing a large rigid body rotation, leading to the change of nodal moments at element ends. Thus, there is a need to improve the co-rotational formulations to allow for the effect. This paper proposes a new consistent co-rotational formulation for both Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko two-dimensional beam-column elements subjected to distributed member loads. It is found that the equivalent nodal moments are affected by the element geometric change and consequently contribute to a part of geometric stiffness matrix. From this study, the results of both eigenvalue buckling and second-order direct analyses will be significantly improved. Several examples are used to verify the proposed formulation with comparison of the traditional method, which demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method in buckling analysis of frame structures under distributed member loads using a single element per member.
