Buckling analysis using ansys

Submitted by Ajeesh on Mon, 04/05/2010 - 06:33

Hai all, I am performing shear buckling analysis of plate girdersusing ansys. The ultimate shear buckling strength can be easily obtained by applying concentrated load on the model. My issue is to obtain critical shear buckling strength accurately. Some tutorials tell that critical buckling can be obtained from the load - deflection curve where large deformation is initiated.How can i track values exactly. I there any alternative method to track critical buckling.If anyone finds a solution, please reply......

software

I am trying to carry out coupled temperature displacement analysis for layered solid in ABAQUS 6.8 but it is not accepting coupled temperature displacement type element for layered solid (Composite). I would like to request for some suggestions/ way out to carry out the same in ABAQUS.

Thank you.

with regards
