Static Buckling Analysis of a Quadratic-Cubic Model Structure Using the Phase Plane Method and Method of Asymptotics
Abstract
The exact and asymptotic analyses of the buckling of a quadratic-cubic model structure subjected to static loading are discussed. The governing equation is first solved using the phase plane method and next, using the method of asymptotics. In the asymptotic method, we discuss the possibilities of using regular perturbation method in asymptotic expansions of the relevant variables to get an approximate analytical solution to the problem. Finally, the two results are compared using numerical results obtained with the aid of Q-Basic codes. In the two methods discussed in this work, it is clearly seen that the static buckling loads decrease as the imperfection parameters increase. It is also observed that the static buckling loads obtained using the exact method are higher than those obtained using the method of asymptotics.
