Quasicomparison Functions and Substructure Synthesis for Framed Structures Stability Analysis

Abstract The Rayleigh-Ritz-Meirovitch substructure synthesis method (RRMSSM) is extended to buckling analysis in framed structures. The objective is a computational procedure capable of yielding very accurate critical loads through solution of very-low-order eigenvalue problems. In this regard, nume...

Description
Summary:Abstract The Rayleigh-Ritz-Meirovitch substructure synthesis method (RRMSSM) is extended to buckling analysis in framed structures. The objective is a computational procedure capable of yielding very accurate critical loads through solution of very-low-order eigenvalue problems. In this regard, numerical examples demonstrate that the convergence characteristics of the proposed RRMSSM for stability analysis are superior to those associated with the finite element method.
