Buckling of longitudinal reinforcement in reinforced concrete (RC) columns or walls is commonly seen with a length equal to the spacing between stirrups (local buckling), but experimental observations have shown that the ...

An exact non-linear formulation of the equilibrium of elastic prismatic rods subjected to compression and planar bending is presented, electing as primary displacement variable the cross-section rotations and taking into ...

Cold-formed steel members are subject to failure caused by buckling, normally under loads smaller than those corresponding to partial or total yielding of the cross section. The buckling of members in bending can be ...

Solitons in the Skyrme-Faddeev model on R-2 x S-1 are shown to undergo buckling transitions as the circumference of the S-1 is varied. These results support a recent conjecture that solitons in this field theory are ...

This paper proposes a new method to detect damages in structures vibrating with nonlinear behavior. The approach proposed is based on Volterra series and can separate the linear and nonlinear contributions of the responses. ...

Low-cycle fatigue life of Grade 300E and 500E reinforcing bars including the effect of buckling is evaluated. Low-cycle fatigue tests are carried out on un-machined specimens subjected to constant axial strain loading with ...

The purpose of this work is to provide a more complete framework for the development of short-term thermoplastic models to improve the design of liners subjected to external pressure. A device to perform short-term physical ...

Oil storage tanks are usually arranged in groups in tank farms, and this configuration may affect their buckling and postbuckling strength under wind loads. The assessment of wind action on tank structures is performed in ...

In this paper, a theoretical model is developed for the dynamic analysis of composite thin-walled beams with open or closed cross-sections. The present model incorporates, in a full form, the shear flexibility (bending and ...
