Abstract:This paper presents a newly developed extension of the linear Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) formulation for members with circular axis, previously developed by the authors, to the linear stability analysis case. This extension incorporates the classic GBT kinematic assumptions, which ensure efficiency without sacrificing its accuracy. The finite element implementation of the proposed formulation makes it possible to calculate bifurcation loads and associated buckling mode shapes of members with circular axis a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
