The aim of this study is to calculate the critical load of variable inertia columns. The example studied in this paper can be used as a paradigm for other non-uniform columns. The wavelength of equivalent vibratory system is used to calculate...

Nonprismatic thin walled beams and columns, which are used by the designers, can not be analyzed for stability by classical methods. In order to find the critical loads for such members, a geometrical nonlinear analysis is required. This numerical...

. To investigate the behavior of a cracked beam, the crack is replaced with the linear massless rotational spring joining the two uncracked parts of the structure. In addition, influences of stacking sequence of laminates on critical loads of a cracked beam...

rotational and translational restraints on the

critical load, and corresponding equivalent effective length coefficient are studied. Some of the outcomes are

compared against available solutions, demonstrating the accuracy, efficiency...

barrier reached by the air mass in south-westerly flow.

High exceedances of critical loads for acidic deposition to soils were calculated using the mapping procedure and found to be due to the high annual precipitation in Snowdonia. The seeder...
