Seismic Resistance of Nonlinearly Deformable Large-Span Spatial Structures, Taking into Account Changing Dynamic Stiffness

Abstract

Elaboration analytical and computer modeling, changing dynamic parameters of short-term and long-term loaded nonlinearly deformable large-span spatial shell structures are investigated in this research paper. The proposed physical and geometrically nonlinear models of deformation and computational algorithms for solving dynamic problems are applied to assess the stress-strain state of smooth and ribbed spatial systems with variable stiffness caused by the accumulation of damage and the orthotropic structure reinforced by the ribs of the structures of the studied systems. The possibility of using the proposed method of accounting for variable dynamic stiffnesses in calculations for solving problems of dynamic strength and stability of spatial large-span shells of complex geometry is shown.
