Abstract
A beam model for thermal buckling analysis of a bimetallic box beam is presented. The Euler-Bernoulli-Vlasov beam theory is employed considering large rotations but small strains. The nonlinear stability analysis is performed using an updated Lagrangian formulation. In order to account for the thermal effects of temperature-dependent (TD) and temperature-independent (TID) materials, a uniform temperature rise through beam wall thickness is considered. The numerical results for thin-walled box beams are presented to investigate the effects of different boundary conditions, beam lengths and material thickness ratios on the critical buckling temperature and post-buckling responses. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed model are verified by means of comparison with a shell model. It is revealed that all of the abovementioned effects are invaluable for buckling analysis of thin-walled beams under thermal load. Moreover, it is shown that the TD solutions give lower values than the TID one, emphasizing the importance of TD materials in beams.
