Stability Analysis for a Single-Layer Reticulated Shell

Abstract:

A stability analysis for a single-layer reticulated shell is presented in this paper. The structural buckling modes and critical loads are calculated first. A preliminary security examination is presented based on the results of linear buckling anasys. And then the load-carrying capacity of this structure would be calculated through the geometric nonlinear full-range analysis. Finally a conclusion is deduced that the stable bearing capacity of this structure has met the requirements of the specification.
