Taking the new type hybrid structure of suspendome as the analytical object, its stability performance is studied in detail. Through the method of nonlinear buckling analysis, the influences of different parameters on the stability are systematically analyzed i.e. rise-span ratio, plane shape factor, prestress and length of strut. The results show that rise-span ratio, plane shape factor and length of strut have great effects on the structural stability while prestress has small effect.

The Suspended Latticed Intersected Cylindrical Shell (SLICS) is a new structural system, composed by the single layer Latticed Intersected Cylindrical Shell (LICS) and the prestressed cable-strut system. Mechanical properties of this structure were investigated through nonlinear buckling analysis by the consistent imperfect buckling analysis method, compared with the single layer LICS. Structure parameters including prestress level, member section, length of bar, rise-span ratio, obliquity were analyzed. And the effect of material nonlinearity on the stability was studied. Results show that the ultimate bearing capacity of the SLICS is improved as the introduction of prestress. However the prestress level has a limited impact on the ultimate bearing capacity. And the material nonlinear is very important to the stability of the SLICS.

The Stability

In this paper, we investigate the buckling capacity of a hybrid grid shell, which is made of quadrangular meshes diagonally stiffened by pre-tensioned thin cables. The eigenvalue buckling, geometrical nonlinear elastic buckling and elasto-plastic buckling analyses of the hybrid structure were carried out. Then the influences of the shape and scale of imperfections on the elasto-plastic buckling loads were discussed. Also, the effects of different structural parameters, such as the rise-to-span ratio, cross-section of beams, area and pre-stress of cables and boundary conditions, on the failure load were investigated. The results show that the buckling capacity is reduced when taking into account the material nonlinearity. Furthermore, the hybrid structure is highly imperfection sensitive and the reduction of the failure load due to imperfections can be considerable. The proper shape and scale of the imperfection are also important. It is also shown that there exists an optimal rise-to-span ratio resulting in a relatively high buckling capacity for a specific span. Moreover, the enlarging of the cross-section of steel beams notably improves the stability performance of the structure. However, the area and pre-stress of cables pose small effect on the structural stability.

The Stability

Consistent Mode Imperfections Method based on eigenvalue buckling mode is widely adopted in the stability analysis for the spatial steel structures with initial geometrical imperfections, i.e. latticed shells, thin shells, etc. Taking the new type hybrid structure of suspendome as the analytical object, the applicability of Consistent Mode Imperfections Method is discussed. The effects on structural stability are probed arisen by the factors such as different initial reference loads and different order eigenvalue buckling modes. It is indicated that this stability analysis method can be quite fit for the spatial structures such as latticed shells, while for suspendomes, the initial reference load has a distinct effect upon the analytical result obtained by the stability analysis method. Moreover, it is not always to dominate calculating result when selecting the first order eigenvalue buckling mode as the distributing pattern of initial geometrical imperfections. As a result, some measures should be taken to improve the accuracy in evaluating the stability bearing capacity of the structures with Consistent Mode Imperfections Method based on eigenvalue buckling mode.

Stability is the key of designing thin-walled external-pressure Vessels. Nonlinear buckling analysis using finite element method has been carried out on a processor unit of an autonomous underwater vehicle to study the stability of the processor unit considering the screw tightening. Effects of the cylinder thickness on the critical pressure are discussed. Results show that the buckling wave number is 4 in the circumferential direction, and the critical pressure decreases with decreasing the cylinder thickness exponentially, which is in good agreement with the theoretical calculation.

Nonlinear Buckling Analysis

In this work, a general geometric nonlinear model of straight thin-walled box beams (STBBs) under combined eccentric and axial loads is established. In order to accurately reflect the behavior of STBB, the additional shear lag warping is added to enrich the displacement field. It is necessary to define the section shape function to describe the local section deformation. Therefore, extension, bending, torsion, distortion, and shear lag effects are expressed by the generalized coordinate method. Based on the stability of transverse unconstrained box beam theory, meaningful higher-order solutions can be obtained by defining a set of coupled deformation modes. The equilibrium equation is discretized by the Galerkin method, and the Newton–Raphson incremental method is used to derive and solve the nonlinear governing equations. On this basis, the analytical expression of stiffness matrix is established. For solving the stability problem, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by comparing the calculation results of shell element (Ansys) with other theories. Numerical examples even show that the proposed method can not only get the influence of shear lag but also obtain the variation of lateral buckling of the beam model.

Nonlinear Buckling Analysis

Densely arranged underground steel tube system (DAUSTS) is a new kind of structure which can be usually used in constructing spacious underground structures such as metro stations. During the construction, the steel tube is horizontally forced into soil by jacks through a vertical well. The tube may generate local buckling phenomena under the compression force if the parameter of the tube and soil meet the buckling condition. In the paper, the soil perturbation mode and the deformation of the tube before local buckling are both analyzed, considering the possibly concerned buckling failure modes in practical engineering, the confine effect of the soil and interaction between the tubes. A nonlinear buckling analysis on tube-wall of the steel tube located in the most unfavorable place is developed by the arc-length method of the finite element method (FEM), considering the effect of the large deformation. The results of the numerical simulation matches very well to the real application and the key results of the analysis can be used as an estimation principle for the stability of the tube.

ABSTRACT Complex gene regulatory circuits exhibit emergent properties that are difficult to predict from the behavior of the components. One such property is the stability of regulatory states. Here we analyze the stability of the lysogenic state of phage λ. In this state, the virus maintains a stable association with the host, and the lytic functions of the virus are repressed by the viral CI repressor. This state readily switches to the lytic pathway when the host SOS system is induced. A low level of SOS-dependent switching occurs without an overt stimulus. We found that the intrinsic rate of switching to the lytic pathway, measured in a host lacking the SOS response, was almost undetectably low, probably less than 10−8/generation. We surmise that this low rate has not been selected directly during evolution but results from optimizing the rate of switching in a wild-type host over the natural range of SOS-inducing conditions. We also analyzed a mutant, λprm240, in which the promoter controlling CI expression was weakened, rendering lysogens unstable. Strikingly, the intrinsic stability of λprm240 lysogens depended markedly on the growth conditions; lysogens grown in minimal medium were nearly stable but switched at high rates when grown in rich medium. These effects on stability likely reflect corresponding effects on the strength of the prm240 promoter, measured in an uncoupled assay system. Several derivatives of λprm240 with altered stabilities were characterized. This mutant and its derivatives afford a model system for further analysis of stability.
