On the Influence of the Elastic Medium Stiffness in the Buckling Behavior of Compressed Beams on Elastic Foundation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present work the stability and buckling behavior of compressed beams on elastic foundation are analyzed. The influence of the elastic stiffness of the medium on the overall stability of the structural system is investigated. The analysis is performed via energetic methods. The buckling loads are evaluated as a function of the stiffness of the beam and the stiffness of the elastic medium. Considerations are illustrated on the influence of the elastic medium stiffness and on the effects of the ratio of the length of the beam and the characteristic half-wave on the stability of the structural system.
