The size-dependent buckling problem of cracked micro-and nanocantilevers, which have
many applications as sensors and actuators, is studied by the stress-driven nonlocal theory …

The investigation of the effects of cracks or similar weaknesses on the load carrying capacity
of structural elements such as columns, beams and shells is an important problem in civil …

A crack in a steel structure will cause a local change in its stiffness. The change in stiffness
will lead to a change in buckling loads and a discontinuity in the associated buckling modes …

In this work, a model of the stepped Timoshenko beam in presence of deflection and rotation
discontinuities along the span is presented. The proposed model relies on the adoption of …

In this work the static stability of the uniform Timoshenko column in presence of multiple
cracks, subjected to tensile or compressive loads, is analyzed. The governing differential …

In this paper, post-buckling analysis of an edge cracked cantilever column subjected to non-
follower axial compression loads are studied by using the total Lagrangian Timoshenko …

Recent investigations have shown that the presence of weak cross sections can deeply
modify flutter and divergence instability of a cantilever beam-column. Position, intensity of …

In this study, a novel technique for the vibration and stability analyses of axially loaded
beams with multi-cracks was offered. In the model which combines the finite element and …

In this paper, the results of numerical studies on linear and nonlinear transverse vibrations
and instability of a geometrically nonlinear column with an internal crack subjected to Euler's …

In this paper, buckling analysis of slender prismatic columns with a single non-propagating
open edge crack subjected to axial loads has been presented utilizing the transfer matrix …
