The sensitivity of a structural system to initial imperfections is known to be largely determined by the post-buckling behaviour of the ideal system and further the rate at which the load capacity of the ideal system changes near the critical load.
A general non-linear stiffness matrix capable of predicting the post-buckling behaviour of structural systems is developed and tested.
A procedure is formulated for predicting the stable equilibrium zones of structural systems and examples are investigated to verify the correctness of the method. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Civil Engineering, Department of / Graduate
