In order to analyze the buckling behavior of lattice shells stiffened by cables or slender braces without pre-tension, it is necessary to consider the no-compression property of braces. This paper proposes an innovative method of linear buckling analysis that considers the no-compression property of braces. Moreover, in order to examine the proposed method's validity, its results are compared with the results from a nonlinear buckling analysis with geometrical nonlinearity and material nonlinearity to express the no-compression property of braces. The results show that the proposed method can well-predict the buckling behaviors of lattice shells stiffened by tension braces.

Linear Buckling Analysis

Combined with the project which a grain silo need be transformed, a new type of silo is put forward. The silo system consists of supporting columns, the silo body and latticed shell roof structure. In view of the force is different between silo shell roof and conventional roof, and silo shell roof prones to buckling failure. The linear and nonlinear buckling analysis was carried out for latticed shell with a diameter of 20m, the results show that the buckling loads obtained by linear buckling analysis is greater than that obtained by nonlinear buckling analysis, and nonlinear analysis is more secure for structures. Through the comparison the rationality and stability of reticulated shell design are verified, finally construction measures of this system are given, and these can provide references for design and construction of similar engineering.

Linear Buckling Analysis

Temporary grandstands bear crowd load, which is created when spectators jumping on the structure. The simplified loads applied to temporary grandstand have been obtained based on experiment data of human body jumping forces. By the ABAQUS software, the parametric and automatic modeling of three-dimensional (3D) temporary grandstand structures has been realized with Python scripting. The linear buckling analysis and nonlinear buckling analysis of the structure have been carried out. The ultimate bearing capacity and the structural deformation under crowd load have been acquired. Results show that the nonlinear effect of the structure under crowd load is very obvious; the linear buckling analysis cannot get the ultimate bearing capacity of the structure and the first order buckling mode cannot simulate the final deformation of the structure either. The research of this paper greatly improve the efficiency of the construction and automation design of temporary structures and reveal the mechanical behavior of such structure to a certain degree.

Linear Buckling Analysis

In the present paper the non-linear buckling analysis of functionally graded spherical shells subjected to external pressure is investigated. The material properties are graded in the thickness direction according to the power-law distribution in terms of volume fractions of the constituents of the material. In the formulation of governing equations geometric non-linearity in all strain-displacement relations of the shell is considered. Using Bubnov-Galerkin's method to solve the problem an approximated analytical expression of non-linear buckling loads of functionally graded spherical shells is obtained, that allows easily to investigate stability behaviors of the shell.
