Elastic and inelastic responses of columns after sudden loss of bracing
A pinned column with initial deflection and an internal brace is investigated. The brace is modeled as a translational spring. Axial compressive loads are applied at the brace and the top of the column, and the equilibrium shape of the column is determined. The critical loads for the perfect column...
