Snap-Through Buckling of a Toggle Truss in Creep.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0756188 | Need Help?

Abstract:

The snap-through buckling of a nonshallow toggle truss structure in creep is studied theoretically. The critical creep deflection and critical time for a truss obeying a nonlinear power creep law are presented and compared with the available results for a shallow truss. Author
