On the stability of an initially imperfect, nonlinearly viscoelastic column

International Journal of Solids and Structures, 1968
Abstract The stability of an initially imperfect, simply-supported, H-section beam-column, subjected to an axial compressive load, is investigated. The material of the column is taken to behave as a general nonlinear viscoelastic solid with a constitutive relation represented by a Volterra-Frechet functional polynomial.

Effect of Initial Imperfections on the Strength of Restrained Plates

Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, 2011
Most common studies on the strength of plates under compressive longitudinal loading are related to plates having unrestrained edges which lead to a zero net load in the transverse direction. In ships, the framing system and the continuity of the plating in the transverse direction tend to induce rather different boundary conditions on the “unloaded ...

Breakdown initiated by charges on imperfect dielectric films

Annual Report 1963 Conference on Electrical Insulation, 1963
A previous paper1 has described sparkover at low voltage gradients following a series of pulsed discharges. This type of breakdown was produced in three different situations.

Imperfect capital markets and persistence of initial wealth inequalities [PDF]

, 1992
We consider an infinite-horizon inter-generational economy with identical agents differing only in their inherited wealth and with a constant-returns-to-scale technology using capital and labour (called "effort") and displaying a purely idiosyncratic risk. If effort is contractible, full insurance contracts make the production deterministic and initial

Stochastic Simulation of an Initial Imperfection Data Bank for Isotropic Shells With General Imperfections

1988
SUMMARY A method for simulating random initial imperfections of shells with known probabilistic properties, and with both axisymmetric and nonsymmetric components, is presented. It consists in Fourier series expansion of the imperfection in terms of the structural mode shapes, truncating the series, and simulating the Fourier coefficients as random ...

Plastic and Creep Instability of Shells with Initial Imperfections

1999
The critical states of cylindrical shells with initial imperfections having plastic and creep deformations are investigated. These states are defined as the load values at which the shell deflections rise sharply. The method of successive loading for which the reaction of the shell to small loading steps is studied and the process of deformation is ...
