Abstract: Nowadays a concept of a beam with a corrugated wall in construction mechanics does not exist. Such designs do and they are used in construction. Definition of the intense deformed condition of a beam with a corrugated wall is a relevant task. In this article the task of tension distribution nature assessment in the cross section of a beam in a corrugation height variation was discussed. The task was solved in the course of the numerical experiments with application of the finite element method (FEM). The problem was solved for beams with different shapes of the lines forming a corrugation. It was established that the geometrical form of a corrugation practically didn't influence the nature of tension distribution on a beam section and tension distribution on the cross section of beams with a corrugated wall depends generally on the corrugation height relation to its width.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The bedding high rock slope is most likely to failure in the rock slopes. It is the sliding and bending deformation model (buckling failure) according to deformation characteristic of the north wing slope at the open-pit mine. Considering the influence of rocky self-weight, seismic force and groundwater, the failure mechanism of bedding high rock slope by energy method is researched on the basis of stability theory for elastic plane. And the critical length is obtained. Finally, the influences of model geometry on the critical length, such as the rock stratum dip angle, thickness and width length ratio, is analyzed.

Abstract: The prevenient mechanical research on U type steel support focuses on two dimensional analysis in the installing plan. Interested in the buckling failure of U type steel support’s pinnas in one coal mine of Huainan Group, the authors build three dimensional models to stimulating 25U and 29U support. The appealing simulation results verify ANSYS’s 3-D computational capabilities about complicated section support. The main objective of their investigation has been to obtain some knowledge of the mechanism, stress distribution, and load magnitude in the support’s deforming. Further, the deviating longitudinal load play an accelerating deformation role on its distorting, which should be paied more attention to cross-section optimization, design of support parameters, and installing way of steel lacing.

Abstract: There could be multi-failure modes in the course of working of the structure system including slender bar members. For example, strength failure, fatigue failure and buckling failure, especially sudden buckling failure would bring large disaster to structure. In this paper, according to Fatigue and Damage Mechanics theory, safe margin expression of the different failure mode of structure (static strength, fatigue and buckling) is given firstly, then by analyzing different failure mode of structural element under static and fatigue loads, and failure mode of the calculating element is confirmed by comparing the failure probability value of different failure mode. In the course of searching for significant failure paths, not only is failure mode that stiffness matrix of structure is zero considered, but also buckling failure mode of compressed residual structure is considered too, so that failure analysis is more reasonable. In the end, the reliability calculating method of the structural system is given, and the validity of the method proposed in this paper is explained combining an example.

Abstract: As a typical model of steep-tilt or moderate-tilt bedding rock slopes, buckling failure differs greatly from tensile or shear failure. The mechanical characteristic of buckling failure is analyzed, and the geo-mechanics model of buckling failure is put forward. The process of buckling failure includes three phases: slope terrane creep deformation, the lower of slope terrane bend deformation, and terrane structure collapse. Using pressure bar failure theory, a formulation for calculating critical load of buckling failure is developed, which shows that critical load decreases with bend length increasing. The relationship between critical slope length and bend length is analyzed. It is indicated that critical slope length decreases with bend length increasing, and that critical slope length reaches minimal value while critical load is zero. The minimal slope length can be considered as a limit value while analyzing buckling failure of bedding slope, and its calculation equation is developed.

Abstract: The intent of this article was to study the failure mechanism of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) induced by buckling. The main content included the following two parts. The first part investigated the thermal residual stresses fields in TBCs with thermal cycles, which induced by the non-linear coupled effect of temperature gradient, thermal fatigue and creep strain of TBCs. One found that the residual stresses in ceramic coating were compressive and accumulated with thermal cycles, which may be high enough to induce the buckling failure of ceramic coating. The second part studied the critical buckling failure loading of the ceramic coating in TBCs under the condition of the compressive loading by use a theoretical model. Finally, a buckling plane, i.e. s T n − plane, was obtained by combined the above sections and applied to predict the buckling failure of the TBCs system. In this plane, it was divided into the two parts, i.e., non-buckling region and buckling region.
