โœฆ Synopsis


The majority of analyses of thin-walled beam-columns in the linear and nonlinear ranges of structural response have been for prismatic sections. This paper presents a theory for the nonlinear axial strain and Kirchho stress resultants for a thin-walled beam-column whose cross-section is tapered. An expression for the ยฎrst variation of the Total Potential is derived, that may be used in a nonlinear equilibrium analysis, and an expression for the second variation of the Total Potential is derived, that may be used in a stability analysis. These variations are used as the basis for a ยฎnite element analysis, as described in the companion paper. The results are discussed in light of a previous study of tapered monosymmetric I-beams, and for a linear analysis it is shown that the results of this independent study agree with those presented in this paper.

Buckling byFlexure and Torsion under Central Thrust.--Let us consider now the general case of buckling where, under central thrust, not only torsion but also bending of the axis of the compressed bar occurs. We assume that x and y are the principal centroidal axes of the cross section of the bar and
