摘要
The nonlinear buckling behavior of a trimmed irregular Kiewitt single-layer spherical shell structure was investigated by introducing the irregularity caused by the openings of the dome, the changes of vertical and horizontal stiffness of the support arch beams, unsymmetrical distribution of live loads, initial geometric imperfection, geometric nonlinearity and material elastic-plasticity. The nonlinear load-displacement whole process of this structure was analyzed by using the finite element software ANSYS. The results show that compared with perfect spherical latticed shell, the stability of this trimmed spherical shell is considerably reduced. The vertical stiffness of the support arch beams has greater influence on the stability of this structure than the horizontal stiffness. Using the consistent imperfect buckling analysis method, the coefficient of stable bearing capacity usually is not minimal. A 1/400 of the span can be appropriately taken as the maximum value of initial geometric imperfection. The material nonlinearity might have significant effects on the stability of this trimmed spherical shell. The unsymmetrical distribution of live loads does not have adverse impact on the stability of the structure. ©, 2015, Central South University of Technology. All right reserved.
