Interactive and local buckling of thin-walled members

Abstract A new p-version finite element, especially suited for high-precision modeling of structures consisting of a fabricated three-dimensional assembly of plates, is used to study the local and interactive buckling behaviour of such members when subjected to axial compression and bending. A deeper understanding of the elastic phenomenon of such thin-walled structures is realized through a series of parametric studies on a number of test problems.
