Analytical Solution of Sidewise Buckling of Two-Hinged Circular Arch under Concentrated Force

Article Preview

Abstract:

By the setting torsional and lateral displacement function of sidewise buckling of two-hinged circular arch under concentrated force, the single-arch structure's bending, torsional deformation and external force potential can be constructed. An analytical solution for the lateral critical buckling load of two-hinged arch is first deduced by using the energy method; the results are also compared and analyzed by the finite element method. The results show that the analytical solution of single arch’s lateral critical buckling load is in good agreement with the finite element numerical solution, and the validity of the formula is proven.
