This paper deals with the dynamic stability analyses of columns with constant volume and both clamped ends. Numerical methods are developed for solving natural frequencies of such column, subjected to an axial compressive load. Differential equation governing free vibration of such column is derived. The numerical methods developed herein for computing natural frequencies are found to be efficient and robust. From the numerical results, the dynamic stability regions of such columns are obtained.

This paper deals with the static and dynamic optimal shapes of both clamped columns with constant volume. The parabolic taper with the regular polygon cross-section is considered, whose material volume and column length are held constant. Numerical methods are developed for solving natural frequencies and buckling loads of columns subjected to an axial compressive load. Differential equations governing the free vibrations of such column are derived. The Runge-Kutta method is used to integrate the differential equations, and the Regula-Falsi method is used to determine natural frequencies and buckling loads, respectively. From the numerical results, dynamic stability regions, dynamic optimal shapes and configurations of strongest columns are presented in figures and tables.

This paper deals with the dynamic stability analysis of clamped-hinged columns with constant volume. Numerical methods are developed for solving natural frequencies and buckling loads of such columns, subjected to an axial compressive load. The parabolic taper with the regular polygon cross-section is considered, whose material volume and column length are always held constant. Differential equations governing both free vibrations and buckled shapes of such columns are derived. The Runge-Kutta method is used to integrate the differential equations, and the Regula-Falsi method is used to determine natural frequencies and buckling loads, respectively. The numerical methods developed herein for computing natural frequencies and buckling loads are found to be efficient and robust. From the numerical results, dynamic stability regions, dynamic optimal shapes and configurations of strongest columns are reported in figures and tables.

The differential equation governing both the free vibrations and buckling loads of tapered beam-columns of regular polygon cross-section with constant volume were derived and solved numerically. The parabolic and sinusoidl tapers were chosen as the variable depth of cross-section for the tapered beam-column. In numerical examples, the clamped-clamped, hinged-clamped and hinged-hinged end constraints were considered. The variations of frequency parameters and first buckling load parameters with the non-dimensional system parameters are reported in figures, and typical vibrating mode shapes are presented. Also, the configurations of strongest columns were determined.

The differential equations governing both the free vibrations and buckling loads of tapered beam-columns of circular cross-section with constant volume are derived and solved numerically. The effects of axial load are included in the differential equations. The parabolic equation is chosen as the variable radius of circular cross-section for the tapered beam-column. In numerical examples, the clamped-clamped, clamped-hinged and hinged-hinged end constraints are considered. The variations of the frequency parameters and buckling load parameters with the non-dimensional system parameters are presented in figures and the configurations of strongest columns are obtained.

Numerical methods are developed for solving the buckling loads and the elastica of clamped- free columns of circular cross-section with constant volume. The column model is based rut the Timoshenko beam theory. The Runge-Kutta and Regula-Falsi methods, respectively, are used to solve the governing differential equations and to compute the eigenvalues. Extensive numerical results, including buckling loads, elastica of buckled shapes and effects of shear de-formation, are presented in non-dimensional form for elastic columns whose radius of circular cross-section varies both linearly and parabolically with column length.

This paper deals with the geometrical non-linear analyses of the buckled columns. Differential equations governing elasticas of the buckled columns are derived, in which both effects of taper type and shear deformation are included. Three kinds of taper types such as breadth, depth and square tapers are considered. Differential equations are solved numerically to obtain the elasticas and buckling loads of such columns. End constraint of both clamped ends and both hinged ends are considered. The effects of shear deformation on the elastica of the buckled column and buckling load of column are investigated extensively. Experimental studies are presented that complement theoretical results of non-linear responses of the elasticas.

This paper presents the results of experimental investigation of the buckling behavior of thin-walled box-section column. The experiments for finding the buckling stress and bifurcation slenderness ratio are performed by the method from AISC. The sets of boundary conditions are both end simply supported, one end simply supported and the other end clamped, and both ends clamped. The types of specimens are clssified by thickness to width ratio. The experiments for the thin-walled rectangular tubes are closely concurrent with the theoretical values of overall buckling load and bifurcation slenderness ratio that are suggested by the part (I) of this paper.

This paper investigates critical loads of the tapered Beck's columns with clamped and spring supports, subjected to a subtangential follower force. The linearly tapered columns with the solid rectangular cross-section is adopted as the column taper. The differential equation governing free vibrations of such Beck's columns is derived using the Bemoulli-Euler beam theory. Both divergence and flutter critical loads are calculated from the load-frequency curves which are obtained by solving the differential equation. The critical loads are presented as functions of various non-dimensional system parameters: the taper type, the subtangential parameter and the spring stiffness.

Numerical methods for calculating both the natural frequencies and buckling loads of columns with the multiple elastic springs are developed. In order to derive the governing equations of such columns, each elastic spring is modeled as a discrete elastic foundation with the finite longitudinal length. By using this model, the differential equations governing both the free vibrations and buckled shapes, respectively, of such columns are derided. These differential equations are solved numerically. The Runge- Kutta method is used to integrate the differential equations, and the determinant search method combined with Regula-Falsi method is used to determine the eingenvalues. namely natural frequencies and buckling loads. In the numerical examples, the clamped-clamped. clamped-hinged, hinged-clamped and hinged-hinged end constraints are considered. Extensive numerical results including the frequency parameters, mode shapes of free vibrations and buckling load parameters are presented in the non-dimensional forms.
