Large 3-D Deflection And Force Analysis Of Lateral Torsional Buckled Beams, Robert Parley Chase
Large 3-D Deflection And Force Analysis Of Lateral Torsional Buckled Beams, Robert Parley Chase
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis presents research on the force and deflection behavior of beams with rectangular cross-sections undergoing lateral torsional buckling. The large 3-D deflection path of buckling beam tips was closely approximated by circular arcs in two planes. A new chain algorithm element was created from pseudo-rigid-body segments and used in a chain calculation that accurately predicted the force deflection relationship of beams with large 3-D deflections.
