Summary
Nonlinear dynamic buckling of nonlinearly elastic dissipative/nondissipative multi-mass systems, mainly under step load of infinite duration, is studied in detail. These systems, under the same loading applied statically, experience a limit point instability. The analysis can be readily extended to the case of dynamic buckling under impact loading. Energy, topological and geometrical aspects for the total potential energyV, which is constrained to lie in a region of phase-space whereV≦0, allow conclusions to be drawn directly regarding dynamic buckling. Criteria leading to very good, approximate and lower/upper bound dynamic buckling estimates are readily established without solving the highly nonlinear set of equations of motion. The theory is illustrated with several analyses of a two-degree-of-freedom model.
