Buckling Loads of Columns Made of Viscoelastic Materials

by Shan Chen,
Robert P. Lottman,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Mechanics Computing in 1990's and Beyond

Abstract:

This is about the developing of relationships for predicting the change of buckling loads of columns made of viscoelastic materials under different loads. When a columnlike structural member is subjected to the compressive stresses, the instability type of failure is to be expected. The assumptions made here are the same as the Euler elastic buckling except that the materials discussed are linear viscoelastic.
