Abstract
By combining the finite element method (FEM) with a time integration technique, both the dynamics and the arrest of the propagating buckle on Chater's beam are investigated. A kind of “standard” loading history is obtained that makes it possible for Chater's beam to bring about a steady-state propagation of the buckle. Meanwhile, for the first time the velocity of propagation is determined quantitatively and found to depend mainly upon the propagation load P p. At the end of this paper, a new and very important conclusion completely different from the quasi-static analysis about the buckle arrestor design is drawn out.
