Thus far have considered only static response. However, things also move, this includes structures Can actually identify three \categories\ of response A.(Quasi)-Static [quasi because the load must first be applied

Have dealt, thus far, with perfect columns, loading eccentricities, and beam-columns. There are, however, many more issues in buckling/(static) structural instability, most of which will try to touch on a) Buckling versus Fracture Have looked at columns that are long enough such that they buckle

Now consider the case of compressive loads and the instability they can cause. Consider only static instabilities (static loading as opposed to dynamic loading [ e.g., flutter) From Unified, defined instability via a system becomes unstable when a negative stiffness overcomes

Thus far have considered separately beam - takes bending loads column -takes axial loads Now combine the two and look at the beam-column (Note: same geometrical restrictions as on others

For a number of cross-sections we cannot find stress functions. However, we can resort to an analogy introduced by Prandtl(1903) Consider a membrane under pressure p, Membrane\. structure whose thickness is small compared to surface

We have looked at basic in-plane loading. Lets now consider a second\building block of types of loading: basic torsion There are 3 basic types of behavior depending on the type of cross-section

Earlier looked at Simple Beam Theory in which one considers a beam in the x-z plane with the beam along the x-direction and the load in the z-direction Figure 14.1 Representation of Simple Beam Now look at a more general case Loading can be in any direction

We have thus far looked at In-plane loads torsional loads In addition, structures can carry loads by bending. The 2-D case is a plate, the simple 1-d case is a beam. Let's first review what you learned in Unified as Simple Beam Theory

Before we look specifically at thin-walled sections, let us consider the general case (i.e, thick-Walled) Hollow thick-walled sections Figure 12.1 Representation of a general thick-walled cross-section 中=c2 on one boundary φ=c1 on one boundary This has more than one boundary(multiply-connected do=0 on each boundary

Thus far we have discussed mechanical loading and the stresses and strains caused by that We noted, however, that the environment can have an effect on the behavior of materials and structures. Let's first consider:
