Numerical analysis of a circular arch buckling under the symmetric pressure

<p>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 spe...
