Effects of the constraint’s curvature on structural instability: tensile buckling and multiple bifurcations

structures

instability

Can a single-degree-of-freedom elastic structure have two buckling loads?

We provide a positive answer to this question, see http://www.ing.unitn.it/~bigoni/multiple_bifurcations.html

Can you imagine a mechanical system that is stable without friction, but suffers a flutter instability when friction is 'added'?

friction

flutter instability

Have you ever seen a structure subject to flutter instability?

Can flutter instability be connected to dry friction?

We provide positive answers to the above questions, watch the video at

Can an elastic structure buckle under tensile dead load?

Submitted by Davide Bigoni on Tue, 03/15/2011 - 08:12

We all know Euler buckling of a beam under axial thrust, but can buckling occur in an elastic structure in which all elements are subject to tensile dead loading?

We provide a positive answer to this question, see http://www.youtube.com/user/RoyalSociety#p/u/0/EKngs1vvcJU
