Stability of a reticulated dome under multiple independent loads

The primary purpose of this thesis is to investigate stability boundaries, or load interaction curves, of a reticulated dome. An elastic, geometrically nonlinear model with 21 degrees of freedom is considered. The nonlinear response of the model to imposed loads is determined using two separate co...
