A cylindrical composite lattice structure is manufactured by filament winding. The distribution of nonuniform fiber volume fraction induced by the manufacturing process can be observed. The stiffness and buckling characteristics can be influenced by non-uniform fiber volume fraction. In this paper, the effect of non-uniform fiber volume fraction through thickness direction on the torsional buckling load of the cylindrical composite lattice structure was examined. The stiffness variation induced by the non-uniform fiber volume fraction was applied to the finite element model, and buckling analysis was performed. The variations of buckling load with variations of fiber volume fraction were compared. The non-uniform fiber volume fraction reduced the torsional buckling load of the composite lattice structure.

There is a great need for high-strength steel especially for the high-rise steel building structure. High-strength steels, however, may have mechanical properties that are significantly different from those of the conventional steels. The application of high-strength steels to building structures should be reviewed as to whether the inelastic behavior equivalent to that of conventional steels can be attained or not. In this study, SM570TMC steel was tested to evaluate buckling strength under axial compressive force. The comparison tests for local buckling strength evaluation of box-type and H-shaped welded columns were performed with variable width-thickness ratios. As for the experimental check, the maximum strength of stub column was determined by local buckling as far as the limit of width-to-thickness ratio was satisfied with current design codes. Also, the strength of the stub column did not decrease suddenly by local buckling before maximum strength even when the ratio is not satisfied. The buckling strength of SM570TMC steel was higher than both ASD (Allowable Stress Design) and LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) specifications.

Based on the numerical investigations using steel bridge pier subjected to strong seismic excitations a new approach to seismic damage assessment for steel structures and their members has been proposed in conjunction with the suggested definition of failure state. The relevant failure form of the steel pier is evaluated. It is revealed that when a seismic load has a short period, the failure of global buckling beyond the allowable displacement is more dominant than that by that of the local buckling caused by the accumulation of plastic strain. When a seismic load is not beyond this certain part, but repeats within the range of where a plastic deformation occurs, the plastic strain is accumulated on the partial element of bottom edge of steel pier and the failure occurs by the local buckling from the accumulated plastic local strain.

For stability design and P-${\Delta}$ analysis of steel frames with semi-rigid connections, the explicit form of the exact tangential stiffness matrix of a generalized semi-rigid frame element having rotational and translational connections is firstly derived using the stability functions. And its elastic and geometric stiffness matrix is consistently obtained by Taylor series expansion. Next depending on connection types of semi-rigidity, the corresponding tangential stiffness matrices are degenerated based on penalty method and static condensation technique. And then numerical procedures for determination of effective buckling lengths of generalized semi-rigid frames members and P-${\Delta}$ and shortly addressed. Finally three numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the proposed method. Particularly the minimum braced frames and coupled buckling modes of the corresponding frames are investigated.

A simplified method for the calculation of buckling and vibrational characteristics of initially stressed rectangular plate and antisymmetric angle-ply laminated plates is presented in this paper using the natural frequencies under unloading state. The equation of motion of rectangular plate with two opposite edges simply supported is investigated on the basis of Rayleigh-Ritz method and Mindlin plate theory with effect of the curvature term. The relationships of the non-dimensional natural frequencies with initial stresses the coeffcients of critical buckling and the boundaries of the dynamic principal instability region can be characterized by the non-dimensional natureal frequencies under unloading state. Numerical examples are presented to verify the simplified equations and to illustrate potential applications of the analysis.

The thermal postbuckling and vibration characteristics of cylindrical composite panel subject to thermal loads are analyzed using finite elements. The von-Karman nonlinear displacement-strain relation based on the layerwise theory is applied to consider large deflections due to thermal loads. Cylindrical arc-length method is used to take into account the snapping phenomena. Thermal snapping and vibration characteristics are investigated for various structural parameters such as thickness ratio, shallowness angle and boundary conditions. The present results show that thermal snapping changes the mode shapes as well as static deformations.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the mechanical characteristics of the laminated rubber bearings (LRBs) for the seismic isolation. The evaluations of the proposed equations of the LRB horizontal stiffness are carried out and these equations are extended to the visco-elastic problems to investigate the damping amplifications of LRBs. The stability evaluation of LRBs is also performed. For investigation of the dynamic characteristics of LRBs, the horizontal stiffness equations of the LRBs considering the P-delta effects are applied to the modeling of a seismically isolated structure and the earthquake response time history analyses are carried out. From this research, the proposed simple equation of the horizontal stiffness of LRB is so useful for the design loads and easily extended to the visco-elastic problems. Through the stability evaluation of LRB, the increasing ratio of the total rubber thickness of the LRB severely decrecises the bucking load than the increasing ratio of unit rubber thickness. From the comparison of the dynamic shear deflection of LRB, the analysis results are in good agreement with those of the experiments.

This study numerically investigates buckling behavior of press braked steel plates with a free edge that consists of the upper flange of U-shaped box girder. Since the press-braked plates include a rounded edge, the effective width to thickness ratio of the press-braked upper flange is obscure to determine the nominal compressive strength. This study performed 3D finite element analyses to evaluate an equivalent effective width of cold-formed plate with a free edge. Through the parametric numerical analyses, the elastic buckling stresses of the rounded corner plates were compared with those of general flat plates and then, the equivalent effective width has been estimated. A comparative study with Euler buckling formula speculated in the domestic design specifications has been conducted.

To improve the land use of urban, Construction of the circular steel column is required recently. The circular steel columns have a advantage for improving a load carrying rapacity as wall as reducing a effective section area. However, the circular steel columns under service load, such as earthquake, shows a tendency to cause local buckling and large deformation. To prevent these phenomena, use of longitudinal stiffeners is considered. The application of longitudinal stiffeners at the circular steel columns is expected to increase a load carrying capacity, buckling strength and seismic performance of circular steel column. However, increasing the loading carving rapacity of buckling which constructed the longitudinal stiffeners, was not investigated yet. Therefore it needs study on effect of longitudinal stiffener in pipe-section steel pier. In this study, the load rallying capacity of buckling of steel pier was investigated by using elastic-plastic finite element analysis considered geometrical and material non-linearity. Also, this study investigated the effect of longitudinal stiffeners on loading carrying capacity of buckling and the relationship between width and thickness of longitudinal stiffeners. And also, a Influence of longitudinal stiffeners on seismic performance of circular steel columns was investigated by numerical analysis
