Engineering Physics Annotation << Back Simulation of post buckling behavior of compressed columns using method of real elements M.M. Vasyukov, A.V. Osintcev, V.P. Shchepinov There is the algorithm founded on the method of real elements presented in the paper. The algorithm simulates post-buckling behavior of centrally compressed columns. Different constructions, axial loads (concentrated at the free end, uniformly distributed and their combination) and segmented columns were investigated. The results obtained by the present simulation compared with theoretical and experimental data. Key words: method of real elements, column, post-buckling. E-mail: m.vasyukov@mail.ru
