Numerical analysis of a circular arch buckling under the symmetric pressure
The many interesting phenomena, such as snap-through, nonuniqueness, and stability, of a circular arch subjected to the symmetric pressure are studied. The balance of forces of an elemental length leads to a governing equation which is used to investigate stable states of the arch. With specific ope...
