Energy Formulation

Circular thin-walled elastic tubes under concentric axial loading usually fail by shell buckling, and in practical design procedures the buckling load can be determined by modifying the local buckling stress to account empirically for the imperfection sensitive response that is typical in Donnell shell theory. While the local buckling stress of a hollow thin-walled tube under concentric axial compression has a solution in closed form, that of a thin-walled circular tube with an elastic infill, which restrains the local buckling mode, has received far less attention. This paper addresses the local buckling of a tubular member subjected to axial compression, and formulates an energy-based technique for determining the local buckling stress as a function of the stiffness of the elastic infill by recourse to a transcendental equation. This simple energy formulation, with one degree of buckling freedom, shows that the elastic local buckling stress increases from 1 to [Formula: see text] times that of a hollow tube as the stiffness of the elastic infill increases from zero to infinity; the latter case being typical of that of a concrete-filled steel tube. The energy formulation is then recast into a multi-degree of freedom matrix stiffness format, in which the function for the buckling mode is a Fourier representation satisfying, a priori, the necessary kinematic condition that the buckling deformation vanishes at the point where it enters the elastic medium. The solution is shown to converge rapidly, and demonstrates that the simple transcendental formulation provides a sufficiently accurate representation of the buckling problem.

Purpose: The aim of the work was to analyse the critical state of thin-walled composite profiles with top-hat cross section under axial compression. Design/methodology/approach: The purpose of the work was achieved by using known approximation methods in experimental and finite element methods for numerical simulations. The scope of work included an analysis of the behavior of thin-walled composite structures in critical state with respect to numerical studies verified experimentally. Findings: In the presented work were determined the values of critical loads related to the loss of stability of the structures by using well-known approximation methods and computer simulations (FEM analysis). Research limitations/implications: The research presented in the paper is about the potential possibility of determining the values of critical loads equivalent to loss of stability of thin-walled composite structures and the future possibility of analyzing limit states related to loss of load capacity. Practical implications: The practical approach in the actual application of the described specimen and methodology of study is related to the necessity of carrying out of strength analyzes, allowing for a precise assessment of the loads upon which the loss of stability (bifurcation) occurs. Originality/value: The originality of the research is closely associated with used the thinwalled composite profile with top-hat cross-section, which is commonly used in the fuselage of passenger airplane. The methodology of simultaneous confrontation of the obtained results of critical loads by using approximation methods and using the linear eigenvalue solution in numerical analysis demonstrates the originality of the research character. Presented results and the methodology are intended for researchers, who are concerned with the topic of loss of stability of thin-walled composite structures.
