Title

Dynamic Buckling And Post-Buckling Of Stressed Composite Arches

Abstract

A stressed composite arch differs from its rigid counterpart by two distinctive characteristics; first, each section of the arch contains a non-uniform distribution of prestressing forces, and second, geometry of the arch is a function of the prestressing forces. Dynamic snap-through buckling of stressed composite arches is investigated using a convected corotational formulation of a two-node three-layer sandwich beam element. The model includes both geometric and material nonlinearities. Dynamic response is analyzed in the time domain using a Wilson-θ implicit integration scheme. Results indicate good stability behavior for stressed composite arches as compared to their homogeneous counterparts.
