Buckling analysis of thin-walled composite channel beams is presented in this paper. The displacement field is based on classical beam theory. Both plane stress and plane strain state are used to achieve constitutive equations. The governing equations are derived from Lagrange’s equations. Ritz method is applied to obtain the critical buckling loads of thin-walled beams. Numerical results are compared to those in available literature and investigate the effects of fiber angle, length-to-height’s ratio, boundary condition on the critical buckling loads of thin-walled channel beams. Keywords: Ritz method; thin-walled composite beams; buckling.

The dynamical analysis of a rotating thin-walled composite shaft with internal damping is carried out analytically. The equations of motion are derived using the thin-walled composite beam theory and the principle of virtual work. The internal damping of shafts is introduced by adopting the multiscale damping analysis method. Galerkin’s method is used to discretize and solve the governing equations. Numerical study shows the effect of design parameters on the natural frequencies, critical rotating speeds, and instability thresholds of shafts.

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.

A shear deformable hybrid finite element formulation is developed for the lateral-torsional buckling analysis of fiber-reinforced composite thin-walled members with open cross-section. The method is developed by using the Hellinger-Reissner functional. Comparison to the displacement-based formulations the current hybrid formulation has the advantage of incorporating the shear deformation effects easily by using the strain energy of the shear stress field without modifying the basic kinematic assumptions of the thin-walled beam theory. Numerical results are validated through comparisons with results based on other formulations presented in the literature. Examples illustrate the effects of shear deformations and stacking sequence of the composite layers in predicting bucking loads.

On the basis of the Generalized Beam Theory (GBT), this paper presents an elastic analysis of the distortional critical stress of cold-formed thin-walled lipped channels in combined compression and minor axis bending. The results obtained using the exact analysis presented herein have shown excellent agreement with previous available results. And the accuracy, validity and effectiveness of the presented solution were demonstrated. The calculating process was displayed by an example which can give reference to the research and design. This paper will contribute to the understanding of distortional mechanics in thin-walled members.

The paper presents a mathematical model of deformation of thin-walled cylindrical shell panels, taking into account transverse shears, geometric nonlinearity, and the presence of ribbed stiffeners. Dimensionless parameters are used. The computational algorithm is based on using the Ritz method and the method of continuation of the solution with respect to the best parameter. There are shown the values of critical buckling loads for several variants of structures, depending on the chosen method of taking into account the reinforcement and the number of stiffeners.
