Nonlinear Stability Analysis of Frame-Type Structures with Random Geometric Imperfections Using a Total-Lagrangian Finite Element Formulation
With the increasing use of lightweight frame-type structures that span long distances, there is a need for a method to determine the probability that a structure having random initial geometric imperfections will become unstable at a load less than a spe cified fraction of the perfect critical load....
