1 Introduction

For developing modern structural civil mechanical andother fields of engineering it is necessary to work out veryprecise calculating methods for the stability of rod systemsResearchers still have a great interest in the failure ofstructural elements due to the loss of stability

A bulk-forming process from metallic materials such asstamping forging extrusion and spinning is one of themain processes in industrial manufacturing Some forgingtools such as supports punches or ejectors may be sub-jected to significant risk of stability loss (buckling) when theyare used Rods are used for drilling in oil and gas fields estability loss of the drill rod is one of the complicating factorsof the drilling process which is a major problem for oil and

gas extraction industry [1] In the seismic areas steel framesare known as an efficient arrangement for structures Inaddition load-carrying capacity of the columns as the mainparts of the frame systems using limit state design is de-termined by the stability in the elastoplastic region of thematerial [2] erefore steel columns have been widely usedto dissipate seismic energy in seismic regions ese con-siderations are especially relevant in calculating the stabilityof high-rise buildings taking into account the complicatedtechnological load on them [3ndash8]

is paper presents new approaches for solving bucklingproblems for axially compressed columns in the elastoplasticworking region of the material A prismatic (rectangular)steel column was studied as a sample that is depicted inFigure 1 e study of the buckling behavior of prismatic

(rectangular) compressed elements is a relevant step towardsunderstanding and assessing the reliability of more complexstructures [9]

In steel columns the issues of buckling can be dividedinto three types overall buckling local buckling and in-teractive buckling [10 11] In prismatic columns withrectangular cross section and medium slenderness ratiooverall buckling is normally observed rst [12]

e buckling appearance (loss of stability) process wasassessed with critical forces (from which the values of re-duction factor are dened) e reduction factor approachdened from critical stresses appears in two alternativemethods in the standards (a) traditional method usingsemiempirical design equations and (b) computer-aidedmethod based on linear buckling analysis [12 13]

It is common knowledge that the physical action causingthe buckling of axially compressed columns is the depletionof its lateral stiness to a value of zero ere are a number ofproblems in actual engineering situations which complicatethe prediction of buckling loads eg initial (geometric)imperfection material nonlinearity and loading eccentric-ity e linear elastic Euler model of a prismatic simplysupported rod is still the fundamental tool for studyingbuckling stability [9 10]

In a similar way several empirical models for instanceEngesserrsquos [7 13 14] are proposed in the literature to

experimentally characterize the elastic-plastic and plasticbuckling Later Shanley [9 15] oered a dierent approachfor dening the buckling process with its semiempiricaldesign equation

In the literature [16 17] researchers presented a nu-merical method for computing the load-deection re-lationships of loaded square columns with various geometricparameters loading eccentricity and column slendernessratios

As mentioned above steel frames are an ecient ar-rangement for structural systems in seismic regions For thisreason they have been the subject of strong research interestin recent years In practice earthquakes generate multidi-rectional ground motions with the occurrence of yieldingand buckling eects [4 6 8] Previous research studies[3 18] indicate how the development of local bucklingrestricts the ability of the members to deform plastically alsohow cross-section geometry inuences strength ductilityand the energy absorption process

In literature [12] the researchers examined the simplysupported steel member with uniform cross section sub-jected to uniform forces e results showed buckling re-sistance for such members and were standardized by thereduction factor based on the AyrtonndashPerry formula [19]and calibrated by strong theoretical and empirical back-ground e local and overall stability of the columnsthrough simulating their geometric and material nonlinearbehavior was investigated [11] A methodology [20] wasdevised to estimate the elastoplastic properties of metallicmaterials from the hardness measurements using the twomost frequently used sharp indenters ie the Vickers in-denter and the Knoop indenter In the study [21] the re-searchers studied overall buckling behavior and design ofhigh-strength steel columns e study results indicated thatwith an increase of the yield strength of high-strength steelcompressive residual stresses ratio to the yield strengthbecomes evidently lower and possesses much less severeeects on the overall buckling behavior Dierent H-shapedsections of the welded steel columns were experimentallyand numerically investigated with their overall bucklingbehavior and their practical application was promoted [22]

e main disadvantage of the previously proposed de-sign methods to avoid risk due to loss of stability in theelastoplastic region was that the accuracy and limits of thedenition were not always known

e main objectives of the study were to (a) develop theapproaches that would allow specifying the values of criticalstresses of compressed elements beyond their proportionallimit (b) approximate and specify maximally the theoreticaland real values of critical loads (c) nd the possible points ofbifurcation in the elastoplastic region and (d) eliminate theexistence of residual deformations in the cross-section andeventually reduce the mass of the structure and increase itsreliability

e problem of the stability of the compressed elementswas studied according to the stability theory Methods basedon the equations of equilibrium of mechanics for slightlyperturbed systems around the initial position were used tostudy the stability

During the study these steps were followed

(a) e energy method was used(b) e principle of initial imperfections of the rod was

considered(c) Eulerrsquos analytical method was used in (during)

compression which in turn was based on Hookersquoslaw

(d) e process of stability loss (buckling) was studieddepending on the critical stresses and the slendernessratio [12 23ndash26]

e advantage of the proposed approach in determiningstability of the compressed elements compared to theexisting ones is that the critical stresses in the elastoplasticregion are derived analytically and they accurately reect theexperimental data

2 Stability Problem Formulation

21 General Aspects of Understanding Stability e load-carrying capacity of a compressed rod could be depleted as aresult of stability loss or as a result of the deection thatoccurs before the rod fails due to compression e equi-librium of a rigid body could be stable unstable or neutral e same condition occurs in deformable body mechanics e only dierence is that the type of equilibrium dependson the value of the acting load [8 27]

Figure 2 depicts a long thin (slender) cantilevered rodwith axial force loading e rod is compressed by a rela-tively small value of the force N and is present in a stableequilibrium since it assumes a slight deviation from thevertical as a result of any perturbed impact and after theremoval of the force it soon returns to the initial state(Figure 2(a))

e rod gradually returns to the initial position togetherwith the increase of the load and the state of the neutralequilibrium occurs at a certain value of the critical forceNcr e rod obtains equilibrium in the deected position duringthe modest deviation from the vertical position (dashed lineFigure 2(b)) At this time the bifurcation (the coexistence ofcontiguous equilibrium forms) is formed which is char-acterized by an ldquoexchangerdquo of stability between two equi-librium forms of the rod

e rectilinear form ldquolosesrdquo stability and the curvilinearform still ldquotriesrdquo to obtain it As it is known the force thattransfers the rod from the rectilinear stable position to thecurvilinear stable position is a critical force Ncr

e new equilibrium curvilinear form theoreticallybecomes stable at loading the value of which exceedscritical one (Figure 2(c)) is condition is practicallyunacceptable since the rod already works not for purecompression but for compression with bending ie whenthe force reaches its critical value the rectilinear form of therod is already unstable e rod will bend in a less rigidplane and obtain (get) a stable curvilinear form ecurvature of the rod begins to increase rapidly even whenthe load increases slightly and it loses its load-carryingcapacity [2 13]

22 eoretical Analysis and Eulerrsquos Critical Curves in theElastic Region Figure 3(a) depicts the long narrow pin-ended rod on which the compressive force is loadedalong the symmetrical axis Taking into account the principleof initial imperfections of the rod the rod is bent during theload by the axial force (Figure 3(b)) [12 24] In order toreveal the internal bending momentM it is necessary to cutthe column in the middle zone for creating the free body(Figure 3(c))

Moment equilibrium dictates that the bending moment isgiven byM minusNy Here y is the lateral deection From theresistance of materials it is known thatMEI asymp d2ydx2 eabove two relationships provide dening dierential equationfor Euler buckling In addition according to the energymethod the compressive force reaches its critical value whenthe ends of the rod approach each other and the workperformed by external forces is equal to the deformation workof the bending of the compressed rod [6 13 14]

e geometrical and material characteristics of thecarbon steel (S235) columns with various grades are pre-sented in Table 1 A diagram depicting the stress-strainrelationship for carbon steel is constructed in Figure 4(a)according to Table 1 and a diagram depicting the slen-derness ratio of critical stresses (equation (2)) for carbonsteel is constructed in Figure 4(b) Curve 1 [9 15 21 28]

Equation (2) is valid for such rods that work in the elasticregion Critical stresses (σcr) are less than the proportionallimit (σpl) σcr lt σpl in this region (Figure 4(a)) and theslenderness ratio (λ) is higher than the critical slendernessratio (λcr) λgt λcr for carbon steel For example the diagramconstructed on Figure 4(b) depicts that the elastic regioncorresponds to λisin[102 200] the zone of slenderness forsteel-S235 Here λcr π

23 Critical Curves and eoretical Analysis in the Elasto-plastic Region When a perfectly straight column is

subjected to an axial force the state of internal stresses nearthe midpoint of the rodcolumn is uniform compressionFor a crooked column (the principle of initial imperfec-tions) the state of internal stress near the midpoint is notuniform and there arises the net tension stress on the outercurve of the column [12 24]

Figure 5 depicts a blowup of the middle slenderness ratioof the column and the stress distribution in the cross sectionof the middle zone (Figure 5(a)) e tensile zone ie theunloaded zone (area A1 in Figure 5(b)) together with thecompressed zone (area A2 in Figure 5(b)) arises in the crosssection during buckling in which (tensile zone) constantmodulus of elasticity E will exist because of the relativelysmall value of tensile stresses and Gerstnerrsquos law (see thezone where σ lt σel Figure 4(a)) [9 27]

ere is no increase in compressive force during thebuckling in the elastoplastic region in accordance with thefirst theory of calculating the stability of compressed ele-ments e compressive stresses will transfer from theunloaded zone to the compressed zone due to the crook-edness of the column [18 29] Consequently the stresses willbe increased in the compressed zone and instead of theconstant modulus of elasticity E the smaller value of thetangent modulus Et will exist (Figure 5(b))us in the crosssection there will be simultaneously two elastic moduli emodulus E will exist in the tensile zone and the tangentmodulus Et will exist in the compressed zone (Figure 5(b))

Only the constant modulus of elasticity E is no longeruseful in the elastoplastic working region of the materialthat is the zone of slendernessmdashλ isin [40 102] for the steelS235 in the cross section because the stress-strain re-lationship in this region becomes nonlinear (Figures 4(a)and 5(b) compressed zone) [22 30]

e formula for calculating critical stresses for theelastoplastic region is identical to the calculation formula forthe elastic region ere is just one difference between themeg instead of the constant elastic modulus E the reducedmodulus T of Engesser-Karman appears which has thefollowing form in the case of a rectangular cross section[13 27]

If the sum of the moments of the internal forces will beequal to the external moment then the formula of thebending moment for any cross section with allowance forthe so-called tangent modulus will be equal to thefollowing

Hence

M 1ρEI1 + EtI2( ) (6)

where I1 and I2 are the moments of inertia of both partsof the cross section towards the neutral axis (Figure 6) e tangent modulus Et is obtained as constant (anaverage)

As commonly known the formula will be obtained usingthe elastoplastic modulus Tlowast instead of the elastic modulus Ein the formula M EIρ of the bending moment

M TlowastI

ρ (7)

whereM is the bending moment Tlowast is the double modulusI is the moment of inertia and ρ is the local bending radius(the radius of bending at the current section)

e formula for the double modulus of elasticity isderived by equating equations (6) and (7) and by solving Tlowast[7] as follows

Tlowast 1IEI1 + EtI2( ) (8)

As is obvious from equation (8) the double modulusdepends on the shape of the cross section of the rod eneutral axis divides the cross section into parts havingvarious moduli that allow nding the reduced stiness(Tlowast middot I) of the rod as the product of the moment of inertia (I)of the rod on the reduced modulus (Tlowast)

According to the second approach for calculatingthe stability of compressed elements (Shanleyrsquos theory)there will not be the unloaded zone in the cross sec-tion in the elastoplastic region of the material sincethe compressive force increases along with the bending[13]

At the beginning of stability loss the loading speed withthe longitudinal forces of the rod will be much more than theunloading speed of the bent bers and the stresses will in-crease throughout the section ie a small bendwill not lead tounloading erefore above the limits of elasticity the criticaltangential force will be the tangent according to modulus Et

close to the real values of critical loadsey will also be closeto the experimental data

In order for the critical curves to be determined not onlyin the elastoplastic region on the basis of the experimentaldata the authors proposed a new approach to the analyticalsolution of the formula for calculating critical stresses

32 Proposed New Approach for Obtaining Critical Stresses inthe Elastoplastic Region and Its eoretical Analysis ecalculation methods based on the results of the experimentalresearch have been the most common up to now ereforevarious authors have proposed formulas for calculating thelongitudinal bending beyond the limits of elasticity [12]

e authors suggested an original approach to the issuein particular the determination of values of the criticalstresses and the finding of the points of the bifurcation werecarried out by the tangent (Et) established by experimentalresults and by the approximation of the so-called doublemodulus (Tlowast)

If the modulus of elasticity E is replaced by the doublemodulus Tlowast in the Eulerrsquos formula the critical stress willhave the following form

σcr π2Tlowast

λ2 (11)

In this study the authors substituted the value of thedouble modulus (Tlowast) from equation (8) into the formula ofthe critical stress (equation (11)) and it was assumed thatEulerrsquos critical stress is valid until the critical slenderness(λcr)

e cross section was divided into the tensile andcompressed zones e constant modulus of elasticity E willbe used for the tensile zone and the tangent modulus Et fromequation (9) established by Shanley and proven by Stel-makhrsquos tests in the compressed zone

e joint work of both moduli in the cross section(modulus of elasticity E in the tensile zone and the tangentmodulus Et in the compressed zone) was used in the doublemodulus (Tlowast) (equation (8)) to obtain the followingequation

At the elastoplastic region and middle slenderness ratioλ isin [40 102] from Figure 4(b) it is seen that the curve ofcritical stresses constructed according to the reducedmodulus (T) of Engesser-Karman equation (4) is above allthe graphs

Curve 3 of the critical stresses (equation (10)) de-termined by the tangent modulus (Et) of Shanley is locatedbelow Curve 2 (Figure 4(b))

Curve 4 of the critical stresses (equation (17)) obtainedby approximating the double modulus proposed by authorsis located below the curve of Shanley which is very close tothe results obtained by the experimental data (Figure 4(b)asterisks-6) It confirms the accuracy of the new approach(Figure 4(b))

(rectangular) compressed elements is a relevant step towardsunderstanding and assessing the reliability of more complexstructures [9]

In steel columns the issues of buckling can be dividedinto three types overall buckling local buckling and in-teractive buckling [10 11] In prismatic columns withrectangular cross section and medium slenderness ratiooverall buckling is normally observed rst [12]

e buckling appearance (loss of stability) process wasassessed with critical forces (from which the values of re-duction factor are dened) e reduction factor approachdened from critical stresses appears in two alternativemethods in the standards (a) traditional method usingsemiempirical design equations and (b) computer-aidedmethod based on linear buckling analysis [12 13]

It is common knowledge that the physical action causingthe buckling of axially compressed columns is the depletionof its lateral stiness to a value of zero ere are a number ofproblems in actual engineering situations which complicatethe prediction of buckling loads eg initial (geometric)imperfection material nonlinearity and loading eccentric-ity e linear elastic Euler model of a prismatic simplysupported rod is still the fundamental tool for studyingbuckling stability [9 10]

In a similar way several empirical models for instanceEngesserrsquos [7 13 14] are proposed in the literature to

experimentally characterize the elastic-plastic and plasticbuckling Later Shanley [9 15] oered a dierent approachfor dening the buckling process with its semiempiricaldesign equation

In the literature [16 17] researchers presented a nu-merical method for computing the load-deection re-lationships of loaded square columns with various geometricparameters loading eccentricity and column slendernessratios

As mentioned above steel frames are an ecient ar-rangement for structural systems in seismic regions For thisreason they have been the subject of strong research interestin recent years In practice earthquakes generate multidi-rectional ground motions with the occurrence of yieldingand buckling eects [4 6 8] Previous research studies[3 18] indicate how the development of local bucklingrestricts the ability of the members to deform plastically alsohow cross-section geometry inuences strength ductilityand the energy absorption process

In literature [12] the researchers examined the simplysupported steel member with uniform cross section sub-jected to uniform forces e results showed buckling re-sistance for such members and were standardized by thereduction factor based on the AyrtonndashPerry formula [19]and calibrated by strong theoretical and empirical back-ground e local and overall stability of the columnsthrough simulating their geometric and material nonlinearbehavior was investigated [11] A methodology [20] wasdevised to estimate the elastoplastic properties of metallicmaterials from the hardness measurements using the twomost frequently used sharp indenters ie the Vickers in-denter and the Knoop indenter In the study [21] the re-searchers studied overall buckling behavior and design ofhigh-strength steel columns e study results indicated thatwith an increase of the yield strength of high-strength steelcompressive residual stresses ratio to the yield strengthbecomes evidently lower and possesses much less severeeects on the overall buckling behavior Dierent H-shapedsections of the welded steel columns were experimentallyand numerically investigated with their overall bucklingbehavior and their practical application was promoted [22]

e main disadvantage of the previously proposed de-sign methods to avoid risk due to loss of stability in theelastoplastic region was that the accuracy and limits of thedenition were not always known

e main objectives of the study were to (a) develop theapproaches that would allow specifying the values of criticalstresses of compressed elements beyond their proportionallimit (b) approximate and specify maximally the theoreticaland real values of critical loads (c) nd the possible points ofbifurcation in the elastoplastic region and (d) eliminate theexistence of residual deformations in the cross-section andeventually reduce the mass of the structure and increase itsreliability

e problem of the stability of the compressed elementswas studied according to the stability theory Methods basedon the equations of equilibrium of mechanics for slightlyperturbed systems around the initial position were used tostudy the stability

During the study these steps were followed

(a) e energy method was used(b) e principle of initial imperfections of the rod was

considered(c) Eulerrsquos analytical method was used in (during)

compression which in turn was based on Hookersquoslaw

(d) e process of stability loss (buckling) was studieddepending on the critical stresses and the slendernessratio [12 23ndash26]

e advantage of the proposed approach in determiningstability of the compressed elements compared to theexisting ones is that the critical stresses in the elastoplasticregion are derived analytically and they accurately reect theexperimental data

2 Stability Problem Formulation

21 General Aspects of Understanding Stability e load-carrying capacity of a compressed rod could be depleted as aresult of stability loss or as a result of the deection thatoccurs before the rod fails due to compression e equi-librium of a rigid body could be stable unstable or neutral e same condition occurs in deformable body mechanics e only dierence is that the type of equilibrium dependson the value of the acting load [8 27]

Figure 2 depicts a long thin (slender) cantilevered rodwith axial force loading e rod is compressed by a rela-tively small value of the force N and is present in a stableequilibrium since it assumes a slight deviation from thevertical as a result of any perturbed impact and after theremoval of the force it soon returns to the initial state(Figure 2(a))

e rod gradually returns to the initial position togetherwith the increase of the load and the state of the neutralequilibrium occurs at a certain value of the critical forceNcr e rod obtains equilibrium in the deected position duringthe modest deviation from the vertical position (dashed lineFigure 2(b)) At this time the bifurcation (the coexistence ofcontiguous equilibrium forms) is formed which is char-acterized by an ldquoexchangerdquo of stability between two equi-librium forms of the rod

e rectilinear form ldquolosesrdquo stability and the curvilinearform still ldquotriesrdquo to obtain it As it is known the force thattransfers the rod from the rectilinear stable position to thecurvilinear stable position is a critical force Ncr

e new equilibrium curvilinear form theoreticallybecomes stable at loading the value of which exceedscritical one (Figure 2(c)) is condition is practicallyunacceptable since the rod already works not for purecompression but for compression with bending ie whenthe force reaches its critical value the rectilinear form of therod is already unstable e rod will bend in a less rigidplane and obtain (get) a stable curvilinear form ecurvature of the rod begins to increase rapidly even whenthe load increases slightly and it loses its load-carryingcapacity [2 13]

22 eoretical Analysis and Eulerrsquos Critical Curves in theElastic Region Figure 3(a) depicts the long narrow pin-ended rod on which the compressive force is loadedalong the symmetrical axis Taking into account the principleof initial imperfections of the rod the rod is bent during theload by the axial force (Figure 3(b)) [12 24] In order toreveal the internal bending momentM it is necessary to cutthe column in the middle zone for creating the free body(Figure 3(c))

Moment equilibrium dictates that the bending moment isgiven byM minusNy Here y is the lateral deection From theresistance of materials it is known thatMEI asymp d2ydx2 eabove two relationships provide dening dierential equationfor Euler buckling In addition according to the energymethod the compressive force reaches its critical value whenthe ends of the rod approach each other and the workperformed by external forces is equal to the deformation workof the bending of the compressed rod [6 13 14]

A dierential equation of the curved axis for such rods isshown as follows

e geometrical and material characteristics of thecarbon steel (S235) columns with various grades are pre-sented in Table 1 A diagram depicting the stress-strainrelationship for carbon steel is constructed in Figure 4(a)according to Table 1 and a diagram depicting the slen-derness ratio of critical stresses (equation (2)) for carbonsteel is constructed in Figure 4(b) Curve 1 [9 15 21 28]

Equation (2) is valid for such rods that work in the elasticregion Critical stresses (σcr) are less than the proportionallimit (σpl) σcr lt σpl in this region (Figure 4(a)) and theslenderness ratio (λ) is higher than the critical slendernessratio (λcr) λgt λcr for carbon steel For example the diagramconstructed on Figure 4(b) depicts that the elastic regioncorresponds to λisin[102 200] the zone of slenderness forsteel-S235 Here λcr π

23 Critical Curves and eoretical Analysis in the Elasto-plastic Region When a perfectly straight column is

subjected to an axial force the state of internal stresses nearthe midpoint of the rodcolumn is uniform compressionFor a crooked column (the principle of initial imperfec-tions) the state of internal stress near the midpoint is notuniform and there arises the net tension stress on the outercurve of the column [12 24]

Figure 5 depicts a blowup of the middle slenderness ratioof the column and the stress distribution in the cross sectionof the middle zone (Figure 5(a)) e tensile zone ie theunloaded zone (area A1 in Figure 5(b)) together with thecompressed zone (area A2 in Figure 5(b)) arises in the crosssection during buckling in which (tensile zone) constantmodulus of elasticity E will exist because of the relativelysmall value of tensile stresses and Gerstnerrsquos law (see thezone where σ lt σel Figure 4(a)) [9 27]

ere is no increase in compressive force during thebuckling in the elastoplastic region in accordance with thefirst theory of calculating the stability of compressed ele-ments e compressive stresses will transfer from theunloaded zone to the compressed zone due to the crook-edness of the column [18 29] Consequently the stresses willbe increased in the compressed zone and instead of theconstant modulus of elasticity E the smaller value of thetangent modulus Et will exist (Figure 5(b))us in the crosssection there will be simultaneously two elastic moduli emodulus E will exist in the tensile zone and the tangentmodulus Et will exist in the compressed zone (Figure 5(b))

Only the constant modulus of elasticity E is no longeruseful in the elastoplastic working region of the materialthat is the zone of slendernessmdashλ isin [40 102] for the steelS235 in the cross section because the stress-strain re-lationship in this region becomes nonlinear (Figures 4(a)and 5(b) compressed zone) [22 30]

e formula for calculating critical stresses for theelastoplastic region is identical to the calculation formula forthe elastic region ere is just one difference between themeg instead of the constant elastic modulus E the reducedmodulus T of Engesser-Karman appears which has thefollowing form in the case of a rectangular cross section[13 27]

Curve 2 in Figure 4(b) depicts the dependency diagram[σcr minus λ] in the zone of medium slenderness λ isin [40 102]constructed by the use of equation (4)

If the sum of the moments of the internal forces will beequal to the external moment then the formula of thebending moment for any cross section with allowance forthe so-called tangent modulus will be equal to thefollowing

Hence

M 1ρEI1 + EtI2( ) (6)

where I1 and I2 are the moments of inertia of both partsof the cross section towards the neutral axis (Figure 6) e tangent modulus Et is obtained as constant (anaverage)

As commonly known the formula will be obtained usingthe elastoplastic modulus Tlowast instead of the elastic modulus Ein the formula M EIρ of the bending moment

M TlowastI

ρ (7)

whereM is the bending moment Tlowast is the double modulusI is the moment of inertia and ρ is the local bending radius(the radius of bending at the current section)

e formula for the double modulus of elasticity isderived by equating equations (6) and (7) and by solving Tlowast[7] as follows

Tlowast 1IEI1 + EtI2( ) (8)

As is obvious from equation (8) the double modulusdepends on the shape of the cross section of the rod eneutral axis divides the cross section into parts havingvarious moduli that allow nding the reduced stiness(Tlowast middot I) of the rod as the product of the moment of inertia (I)of the rod on the reduced modulus (Tlowast)

According to the second approach for calculatingthe stability of compressed elements (Shanleyrsquos theory)there will not be the unloaded zone in the cross sec-tion in the elastoplastic region of the material sincethe compressive force increases along with the bending[13]

At the beginning of stability loss the loading speed withthe longitudinal forces of the rod will be much more than theunloading speed of the bent bers and the stresses will in-crease throughout the section ie a small bendwill not lead tounloading erefore above the limits of elasticity the criticaltangential force will be the tangent according to modulus Et

close to the real values of critical loadsey will also be closeto the experimental data

In order for the critical curves to be determined not onlyin the elastoplastic region on the basis of the experimentaldata the authors proposed a new approach to the analyticalsolution of the formula for calculating critical stresses

32 Proposed New Approach for Obtaining Critical Stresses inthe Elastoplastic Region and Its eoretical Analysis ecalculation methods based on the results of the experimentalresearch have been the most common up to now ereforevarious authors have proposed formulas for calculating thelongitudinal bending beyond the limits of elasticity [12]

e authors suggested an original approach to the issuein particular the determination of values of the criticalstresses and the finding of the points of the bifurcation werecarried out by the tangent (Et) established by experimentalresults and by the approximation of the so-called doublemodulus (Tlowast)

If the modulus of elasticity E is replaced by the doublemodulus Tlowast in the Eulerrsquos formula the critical stress willhave the following form

σcr π2Tlowast

λ2 (11)

In this study the authors substituted the value of thedouble modulus (Tlowast) from equation (8) into the formula ofthe critical stress (equation (11)) and it was assumed thatEulerrsquos critical stress is valid until the critical slenderness(λcr)

e cross section was divided into the tensile andcompressed zones e constant modulus of elasticity E willbe used for the tensile zone and the tangent modulus Et fromequation (9) established by Shanley and proven by Stel-makhrsquos tests in the compressed zone

e joint work of both moduli in the cross section(modulus of elasticity E in the tensile zone and the tangentmodulus Et in the compressed zone) was used in the doublemodulus (Tlowast) (equation (8)) to obtain the followingequation

where σcrprime is the critical stress when the critical slendernesswithin the elasticity reaches the limit value (λcr 102) andλt le λcr is the critical slenderness that has low value incomparison with λcr (Figure 4(b))

σcrt is the critical stress for the tangent modulus (in theelastoplastic region) and is equal to the following

33 Numerical Analysis According to equation (17) of thecritical stresses obtained by the authors the dependencebetween the slenderness and the critical stresses in the regionof medium slenderness is constructed as Curve 4 inFigure 4(b)

e following data were used for obtaining the numericalvalues

e material carbon steel (S235) proportional limitσpl 196 kNcm2 elastic limit σel 20 kNcm2 yielding limitσy 24 kNcm2 modulus of elasticity E 21000 kNcm2design resistance Ry 235 kNcm2 slenderness ratio 40leλt le 102 critical slenderness ratio λcr asymp 102

At the elastoplastic region and middle slenderness ratioλ isin [40 102] from Figure 4(b) it is seen that the curve ofcritical stresses constructed according to the reducedmodulus (T) of Engesser-Karman equation (4) is above allthe graphs

Curve 3 of the critical stresses (equation (10)) de-termined by the tangent modulus (Et) of Shanley is locatedbelow Curve 2 (Figure 4(b))

Curve 4 of the critical stresses (equation (17)) obtainedby approximating the double modulus proposed by authorsis located below the curve of Shanley which is very close tothe results obtained by the experimental data (Figure 4(b)asterisks-6) It confirms the accuracy of the new approach(Figure 4(b))

Curve 5 depicts values of critical stresses defined bybuilding codes for the rectangular cross section(Figure 4(b))

On the basis of theoretical and numerical analysis thefollowing results were obtained

Advances in Civil Engineering 7

(1) A new approach to the determination of criticalstresses in the elastoplastic region was developed as aresult of which the values of critical stresses with ahigh accuracy were determined

(2) e locations of possible points of the bifurcation-buckling in the elastoplastic region were establishedese bifurcation points are on Curve 4 (authorsapproach) because this curve is the closest to the realbifurcation points ie the experimental data

(3) e approach for the elimination of the presence ofresidual deformations in the cross section was de-veloped because Curve 4 in Figure 4(b) is belowCurve 2 and Curve 3 and closer to the experimentaldata

(4) Approximation and accuracy of theoretical and realcritical loads were arisen because Curve 4 is theclosest to the real critical loads ie the experimentaldata

(5) e results obtained from the proposed new ap-proaches indicate that the structure reliability wasenhanced by almost 10ndash12 in comparison withexisting approaches

(6) Economic efficiency was increased by almost 12ndash14in comparison with the building codes Since the newcritical curve is located above the curves determinedby building codes which is defined by using a safetyfactor gained empirically

(7) e study of the buckling behavior of prismatic(rectangular) compressed elements is a relevant steptowards understanding and assessing the reliabilityof more complex structures For the column ofother cross sections eg circular and open-sectionthe formula for calculating critical stress (equation(17)) remains the same only some geometricalcharacteristics need to be changed eg moments ofinertia

4 Conclusions

From the results of this study the following conclusions canbe made

(1) It is recommended to use the tangent modulus-Et(equation (9)) compared with the reduced modulus-T (equation (3)) in determining the critical stressesin the elastoplastic region

(2) It is recommended to use the new approach pro-posed by the authors to determine the stability of thecompressed rod in the elastoplastic region where thevalues of the critical stresses (equation (17)) aredetermined by approximation of the doublemodulusTlowast (equation (8)) and the tangent modulus Et(equation (9)) established by the results of experi-mental studies

(3) A new approach to the determination of criticalstresses proposed by the authors increases reliabilityby almost 10ndash12

(4) In rods (columns) of medium slenderness the pointsbelow the critical curve obtained as a result of newapproaches will not experience stability loss and thedevelopment of residual plastic deformations andthe bifurcation points will be located on this Curve 4(Figure 4(b))

(5) A new approach to the determination of criticalstresses proposed by the authors achieves economicefficiency by almost 12ndash14

(6) Reduction of the mass of the structure respectivelyreduces CO2 emissions

During the study these steps were followed

(a) e energy method was used(b) e principle of initial imperfections of the rod was

considered(c) Eulerrsquos analytical method was used in (during)

compression which in turn was based on Hookersquoslaw

(d) e process of stability loss (buckling) was studieddepending on the critical stresses and the slendernessratio [12 23ndash26]

e advantage of the proposed approach in determiningstability of the compressed elements compared to theexisting ones is that the critical stresses in the elastoplasticregion are derived analytically and they accurately reect theexperimental data

2 Stability Problem Formulation

21 General Aspects of Understanding Stability e load-carrying capacity of a compressed rod could be depleted as aresult of stability loss or as a result of the deection thatoccurs before the rod fails due to compression e equi-librium of a rigid body could be stable unstable or neutral e same condition occurs in deformable body mechanics e only dierence is that the type of equilibrium dependson the value of the acting load [8 27]

Figure 2 depicts a long thin (slender) cantilevered rodwith axial force loading e rod is compressed by a rela-tively small value of the force N and is present in a stableequilibrium since it assumes a slight deviation from thevertical as a result of any perturbed impact and after theremoval of the force it soon returns to the initial state(Figure 2(a))

e rod gradually returns to the initial position togetherwith the increase of the load and the state of the neutralequilibrium occurs at a certain value of the critical forceNcr e rod obtains equilibrium in the deected position duringthe modest deviation from the vertical position (dashed lineFigure 2(b)) At this time the bifurcation (the coexistence ofcontiguous equilibrium forms) is formed which is char-acterized by an ldquoexchangerdquo of stability between two equi-librium forms of the rod

e rectilinear form ldquolosesrdquo stability and the curvilinearform still ldquotriesrdquo to obtain it As it is known the force thattransfers the rod from the rectilinear stable position to thecurvilinear stable position is a critical force Ncr

e new equilibrium curvilinear form theoreticallybecomes stable at loading the value of which exceedscritical one (Figure 2(c)) is condition is practicallyunacceptable since the rod already works not for purecompression but for compression with bending ie whenthe force reaches its critical value the rectilinear form of therod is already unstable e rod will bend in a less rigidplane and obtain (get) a stable curvilinear form ecurvature of the rod begins to increase rapidly even whenthe load increases slightly and it loses its load-carryingcapacity [2 13]

22 eoretical Analysis and Eulerrsquos Critical Curves in theElastic Region Figure 3(a) depicts the long narrow pin-ended rod on which the compressive force is loadedalong the symmetrical axis Taking into account the principleof initial imperfections of the rod the rod is bent during theload by the axial force (Figure 3(b)) [12 24] In order toreveal the internal bending momentM it is necessary to cutthe column in the middle zone for creating the free body(Figure 3(c))

Moment equilibrium dictates that the bending moment isgiven byM minusNy Here y is the lateral deection From theresistance of materials it is known thatMEI asymp d2ydx2 eabove two relationships provide dening dierential equationfor Euler buckling In addition according to the energymethod the compressive force reaches its critical value whenthe ends of the rod approach each other and the workperformed by external forces is equal to the deformation workof the bending of the compressed rod [6 13 14]

A dierential equation of the curved axis for such rods isshown as follows

e geometrical and material characteristics of thecarbon steel (S235) columns with various grades are pre-sented in Table 1 A diagram depicting the stress-strainrelationship for carbon steel is constructed in Figure 4(a)according to Table 1 and a diagram depicting the slen-derness ratio of critical stresses (equation (2)) for carbonsteel is constructed in Figure 4(b) Curve 1 [9 15 21 28]

Equation (2) is valid for such rods that work in the elasticregion Critical stresses (σcr) are less than the proportionallimit (σpl) σcr lt σpl in this region (Figure 4(a)) and theslenderness ratio (λ) is higher than the critical slendernessratio (λcr) λgt λcr for carbon steel For example the diagramconstructed on Figure 4(b) depicts that the elastic regioncorresponds to λisin[102 200] the zone of slenderness forsteel-S235 Here λcr π

23 Critical Curves and eoretical Analysis in the Elasto-plastic Region When a perfectly straight column is

subjected to an axial force the state of internal stresses nearthe midpoint of the rodcolumn is uniform compressionFor a crooked column (the principle of initial imperfec-tions) the state of internal stress near the midpoint is notuniform and there arises the net tension stress on the outercurve of the column [12 24]

Figure 5 depicts a blowup of the middle slenderness ratioof the column and the stress distribution in the cross sectionof the middle zone (Figure 5(a)) e tensile zone ie theunloaded zone (area A1 in Figure 5(b)) together with thecompressed zone (area A2 in Figure 5(b)) arises in the crosssection during buckling in which (tensile zone) constantmodulus of elasticity E will exist because of the relativelysmall value of tensile stresses and Gerstnerrsquos law (see thezone where σ lt σel Figure 4(a)) [9 27]

ere is no increase in compressive force during thebuckling in the elastoplastic region in accordance with thefirst theory of calculating the stability of compressed ele-ments e compressive stresses will transfer from theunloaded zone to the compressed zone due to the crook-edness of the column [18 29] Consequently the stresses willbe increased in the compressed zone and instead of theconstant modulus of elasticity E the smaller value of thetangent modulus Et will exist (Figure 5(b))us in the crosssection there will be simultaneously two elastic moduli emodulus E will exist in the tensile zone and the tangentmodulus Et will exist in the compressed zone (Figure 5(b))

Only the constant modulus of elasticity E is no longeruseful in the elastoplastic working region of the materialthat is the zone of slendernessmdashλ isin [40 102] for the steelS235 in the cross section because the stress-strain re-lationship in this region becomes nonlinear (Figures 4(a)and 5(b) compressed zone) [22 30]

e formula for calculating critical stresses for theelastoplastic region is identical to the calculation formula forthe elastic region ere is just one difference between themeg instead of the constant elastic modulus E the reducedmodulus T of Engesser-Karman appears which has thefollowing form in the case of a rectangular cross section[13 27]

Curve 2 in Figure 4(b) depicts the dependency diagram[σcr minus λ] in the zone of medium slenderness λ isin [40 102]constructed by the use of equation (4)

If the sum of the moments of the internal forces will beequal to the external moment then the formula of thebending moment for any cross section with allowance forthe so-called tangent modulus will be equal to thefollowing

Hence

M 1ρEI1 + EtI2( ) (6)

where I1 and I2 are the moments of inertia of both partsof the cross section towards the neutral axis (Figure 6) e tangent modulus Et is obtained as constant (anaverage)

As commonly known the formula will be obtained usingthe elastoplastic modulus Tlowast instead of the elastic modulus Ein the formula M EIρ of the bending moment

M TlowastI

ρ (7)

whereM is the bending moment Tlowast is the double modulusI is the moment of inertia and ρ is the local bending radius(the radius of bending at the current section)

e formula for the double modulus of elasticity isderived by equating equations (6) and (7) and by solving Tlowast[7] as follows

Tlowast 1IEI1 + EtI2( ) (8)

As is obvious from equation (8) the double modulusdepends on the shape of the cross section of the rod eneutral axis divides the cross section into parts havingvarious moduli that allow nding the reduced stiness(Tlowast middot I) of the rod as the product of the moment of inertia (I)of the rod on the reduced modulus (Tlowast)

According to the second approach for calculatingthe stability of compressed elements (Shanleyrsquos theory)there will not be the unloaded zone in the cross sec-tion in the elastoplastic region of the material sincethe compressive force increases along with the bending[13]

At the beginning of stability loss the loading speed withthe longitudinal forces of the rod will be much more than theunloading speed of the bent bers and the stresses will in-crease throughout the section ie a small bendwill not lead tounloading erefore above the limits of elasticity the criticaltangential force will be the tangent according to modulus Et

close to the real values of critical loadsey will also be closeto the experimental data

In order for the critical curves to be determined not onlyin the elastoplastic region on the basis of the experimentaldata the authors proposed a new approach to the analyticalsolution of the formula for calculating critical stresses

32 Proposed New Approach for Obtaining Critical Stresses inthe Elastoplastic Region and Its eoretical Analysis ecalculation methods based on the results of the experimentalresearch have been the most common up to now ereforevarious authors have proposed formulas for calculating thelongitudinal bending beyond the limits of elasticity [12]

e authors suggested an original approach to the issuein particular the determination of values of the criticalstresses and the finding of the points of the bifurcation werecarried out by the tangent (Et) established by experimentalresults and by the approximation of the so-called doublemodulus (Tlowast)

If the modulus of elasticity E is replaced by the doublemodulus Tlowast in the Eulerrsquos formula the critical stress willhave the following form

σcr π2Tlowast

λ2 (11)

In this study the authors substituted the value of thedouble modulus (Tlowast) from equation (8) into the formula ofthe critical stress (equation (11)) and it was assumed thatEulerrsquos critical stress is valid until the critical slenderness(λcr)

e cross section was divided into the tensile andcompressed zones e constant modulus of elasticity E willbe used for the tensile zone and the tangent modulus Et fromequation (9) established by Shanley and proven by Stel-makhrsquos tests in the compressed zone

e joint work of both moduli in the cross section(modulus of elasticity E in the tensile zone and the tangentmodulus Et in the compressed zone) was used in the doublemodulus (Tlowast) (equation (8)) to obtain the followingequation

where σcrprime is the critical stress when the critical slendernesswithin the elasticity reaches the limit value (λcr 102) andλt le λcr is the critical slenderness that has low value incomparison with λcr (Figure 4(b))

σcrt is the critical stress for the tangent modulus (in theelastoplastic region) and is equal to the following

33 Numerical Analysis According to equation (17) of thecritical stresses obtained by the authors the dependencebetween the slenderness and the critical stresses in the regionof medium slenderness is constructed as Curve 4 inFigure 4(b)

e following data were used for obtaining the numericalvalues

e material carbon steel (S235) proportional limitσpl 196 kNcm2 elastic limit σel 20 kNcm2 yielding limitσy 24 kNcm2 modulus of elasticity E 21000 kNcm2design resistance Ry 235 kNcm2 slenderness ratio 40leλt le 102 critical slenderness ratio λcr asymp 102

At the elastoplastic region and middle slenderness ratioλ isin [40 102] from Figure 4(b) it is seen that the curve ofcritical stresses constructed according to the reducedmodulus (T) of Engesser-Karman equation (4) is above allthe graphs

Curve 3 of the critical stresses (equation (10)) de-termined by the tangent modulus (Et) of Shanley is locatedbelow Curve 2 (Figure 4(b))

Curve 4 of the critical stresses (equation (17)) obtainedby approximating the double modulus proposed by authorsis located below the curve of Shanley which is very close tothe results obtained by the experimental data (Figure 4(b)asterisks-6) It confirms the accuracy of the new approach(Figure 4(b))

Curve 5 depicts values of critical stresses defined bybuilding codes for the rectangular cross section(Figure 4(b))

On the basis of theoretical and numerical analysis thefollowing results were obtained

Advances in Civil Engineering 7

(1) A new approach to the determination of criticalstresses in the elastoplastic region was developed as aresult of which the values of critical stresses with ahigh accuracy were determined

(2) e locations of possible points of the bifurcation-buckling in the elastoplastic region were establishedese bifurcation points are on Curve 4 (authorsapproach) because this curve is the closest to the realbifurcation points ie the experimental data

(3) e approach for the elimination of the presence ofresidual deformations in the cross section was de-veloped because Curve 4 in Figure 4(b) is belowCurve 2 and Curve 3 and closer to the experimentaldata

(4) Approximation and accuracy of theoretical and realcritical loads were arisen because Curve 4 is theclosest to the real critical loads ie the experimentaldata

(5) e results obtained from the proposed new ap-proaches indicate that the structure reliability wasenhanced by almost 10ndash12 in comparison withexisting approaches

(6) Economic efficiency was increased by almost 12ndash14in comparison with the building codes Since the newcritical curve is located above the curves determinedby building codes which is defined by using a safetyfactor gained empirically

(7) e study of the buckling behavior of prismatic(rectangular) compressed elements is a relevant steptowards understanding and assessing the reliabilityof more complex structures For the column ofother cross sections eg circular and open-sectionthe formula for calculating critical stress (equation(17)) remains the same only some geometricalcharacteristics need to be changed eg moments ofinertia

4 Conclusions

From the results of this study the following conclusions canbe made

(1) It is recommended to use the tangent modulus-Et(equation (9)) compared with the reduced modulus-T (equation (3)) in determining the critical stressesin the elastoplastic region

(2) It is recommended to use the new approach pro-posed by the authors to determine the stability of thecompressed rod in the elastoplastic region where thevalues of the critical stresses (equation (17)) aredetermined by approximation of the doublemodulusTlowast (equation (8)) and the tangent modulus Et(equation (9)) established by the results of experi-mental studies

(3) A new approach to the determination of criticalstresses proposed by the authors increases reliabilityby almost 10ndash12

(4) In rods (columns) of medium slenderness the pointsbelow the critical curve obtained as a result of newapproaches will not experience stability loss and thedevelopment of residual plastic deformations andthe bifurcation points will be located on this Curve 4(Figure 4(b))

(5) A new approach to the determination of criticalstresses proposed by the authors achieves economicefficiency by almost 12ndash14

(6) Reduction of the mass of the structure respectivelyreduces CO2 emissions

e geometrical and material characteristics of thecarbon steel (S235) columns with various grades are pre-sented in Table 1 A diagram depicting the stress-strainrelationship for carbon steel is constructed in Figure 4(a)according to Table 1 and a diagram depicting the slen-derness ratio of critical stresses (equation (2)) for carbonsteel is constructed in Figure 4(b) Curve 1 [9 15 21 28]

Equation (2) is valid for such rods that work in the elasticregion Critical stresses (σcr) are less than the proportionallimit (σpl) σcr lt σpl in this region (Figure 4(a)) and theslenderness ratio (λ) is higher than the critical slendernessratio (λcr) λgt λcr for carbon steel For example the diagramconstructed on Figure 4(b) depicts that the elastic regioncorresponds to λisin[102 200] the zone of slenderness forsteel-S235 Here λcr π

portional limit of the material e constant modulus ofelasticity (Youngrsquos modulus) E spreads in the whole crosssection of the rod A diagram constructed in the zone of thelarge slenderness is called Eulerrsquos quadratic hyperbola(Figure 4(b) Curve 1) [9] e points of bifurcation arelocated at the points existing on the hyperbola diagram Itshows the coexistence of the neighboring equilibrium formsfor long flexible rods (ie columns with slender pro-portions) working in the elastic region

23 Critical Curves and eoretical Analysis in the Elasto-plastic Region When a perfectly straight column is

subjected to an axial force the state of internal stresses nearthe midpoint of the rodcolumn is uniform compressionFor a crooked column (the principle of initial imperfec-tions) the state of internal stress near the midpoint is notuniform and there arises the net tension stress on the outercurve of the column [12 24]

Figure 5 depicts a blowup of the middle slenderness ratioof the column and the stress distribution in the cross sectionof the middle zone (Figure 5(a)) e tensile zone ie theunloaded zone (area A1 in Figure 5(b)) together with thecompressed zone (area A2 in Figure 5(b)) arises in the crosssection during buckling in which (tensile zone) constantmodulus of elasticity E will exist because of the relativelysmall value of tensile stresses and Gerstnerrsquos law (see thezone where σ lt σel Figure 4(a)) [9 27]

ere is no increase in compressive force during thebuckling in the elastoplastic region in accordance with thefirst theory of calculating the stability of compressed ele-ments e compressive stresses will transfer from theunloaded zone to the compressed zone due to the crook-edness of the column [18 29] Consequently the stresses willbe increased in the compressed zone and instead of theconstant modulus of elasticity E the smaller value of thetangent modulus Et will exist (Figure 5(b))us in the crosssection there will be simultaneously two elastic moduli emodulus E will exist in the tensile zone and the tangentmodulus Et will exist in the compressed zone (Figure 5(b))

Only the constant modulus of elasticity E is no longeruseful in the elastoplastic working region of the materialthat is the zone of slendernessmdashλ isin [40 102] for the steelS235 in the cross section because the stress-strain re-lationship in this region becomes nonlinear (Figures 4(a)and 5(b) compressed zone) [22 30]

e formula for calculating critical stresses for theelastoplastic region is identical to the calculation formula forthe elastic region ere is just one difference between themeg instead of the constant elastic modulus E the reducedmodulus T of Engesser-Karman appears which has thefollowing form in the case of a rectangular cross section[13 27]

Hence

M 1ρEI1 + EtI2( ) (6)

where I1 and I2 are the moments of inertia of both partsof the cross section towards the neutral axis (Figure 6) e tangent modulus Et is obtained as constant (anaverage)

As commonly known the formula will be obtained usingthe elastoplastic modulus Tlowast instead of the elastic modulus Ein the formula M EIρ of the bending moment

M TlowastI

ρ (7)

whereM is the bending moment Tlowast is the double modulusI is the moment of inertia and ρ is the local bending radius(the radius of bending at the current section)

e formula for the double modulus of elasticity isderived by equating equations (6) and (7) and by solving Tlowast[7] as follows

Tlowast 1IEI1 + EtI2( ) (8)

As is obvious from equation (8) the double modulusdepends on the shape of the cross section of the rod eneutral axis divides the cross section into parts havingvarious moduli that allow nding the reduced stiness(Tlowast middot I) of the rod as the product of the moment of inertia (I)of the rod on the reduced modulus (Tlowast)

According to the second approach for calculatingthe stability of compressed elements (Shanleyrsquos theory)there will not be the unloaded zone in the cross sec-tion in the elastoplastic region of the material sincethe compressive force increases along with the bending[13]

At the beginning of stability loss the loading speed withthe longitudinal forces of the rod will be much more than theunloading speed of the bent bers and the stresses will in-crease throughout the section ie a small bendwill not lead tounloading erefore above the limits of elasticity the criticaltangential force will be the tangent according to modulus Et

In order for the critical curves to be determined not onlyin the elastoplastic region on the basis of the experimentaldata the authors proposed a new approach to the analyticalsolution of the formula for calculating critical stresses

32 Proposed New Approach for Obtaining Critical Stresses inthe Elastoplastic Region and Its eoretical Analysis ecalculation methods based on the results of the experimentalresearch have been the most common up to now ereforevarious authors have proposed formulas for calculating thelongitudinal bending beyond the limits of elasticity [12]

e authors suggested an original approach to the issuein particular the determination of values of the criticalstresses and the finding of the points of the bifurcation werecarried out by the tangent (Et) established by experimentalresults and by the approximation of the so-called doublemodulus (Tlowast)

If the modulus of elasticity E is replaced by the doublemodulus Tlowast in the Eulerrsquos formula the critical stress willhave the following form

In this study the authors substituted the value of thedouble modulus (Tlowast) from equation (8) into the formula ofthe critical stress (equation (11)) and it was assumed thatEulerrsquos critical stress is valid until the critical slenderness(λcr)

e cross section was divided into the tensile andcompressed zones e constant modulus of elasticity E willbe used for the tensile zone and the tangent modulus Et fromequation (9) established by Shanley and proven by Stel-makhrsquos tests in the compressed zone

e joint work of both moduli in the cross section(modulus of elasticity E in the tensile zone and the tangentmodulus Et in the compressed zone) was used in the doublemodulus (Tlowast) (equation (8)) to obtain the followingequation

33 Numerical Analysis According to equation (17) of thecritical stresses obtained by the authors the dependencebetween the slenderness and the critical stresses in the regionof medium slenderness is constructed as Curve 4 inFigure 4(b)

e following data were used for obtaining the numericalvalues

At the elastoplastic region and middle slenderness ratioλ isin [40 102] from Figure 4(b) it is seen that the curve ofcritical stresses constructed according to the reducedmodulus (T) of Engesser-Karman equation (4) is above allthe graphs

Curve 3 of the critical stresses (equation (10)) de-termined by the tangent modulus (Et) of Shanley is locatedbelow Curve 2 (Figure 4(b))

Curve 4 of the critical stresses (equation (17)) obtainedby approximating the double modulus proposed by authorsis located below the curve of Shanley which is very close tothe results obtained by the experimental data (Figure 4(b)asterisks-6) It confirms the accuracy of the new approach(Figure 4(b))

Curve 5 depicts values of critical stresses defined bybuilding codes for the rectangular cross section(Figure 4(b))

On the basis of theoretical and numerical analysis thefollowing results were obtained

(1) A new approach to the determination of criticalstresses in the elastoplastic region was developed as aresult of which the values of critical stresses with ahigh accuracy were determined

(2) e locations of possible points of the bifurcation-buckling in the elastoplastic region were establishedese bifurcation points are on Curve 4 (authorsapproach) because this curve is the closest to the realbifurcation points ie the experimental data

(3) e approach for the elimination of the presence ofresidual deformations in the cross section was de-veloped because Curve 4 in Figure 4(b) is belowCurve 2 and Curve 3 and closer to the experimentaldata

(4) Approximation and accuracy of theoretical and realcritical loads were arisen because Curve 4 is theclosest to the real critical loads ie the experimentaldata

(5) e results obtained from the proposed new ap-proaches indicate that the structure reliability wasenhanced by almost 10ndash12 in comparison withexisting approaches

(6) Economic efficiency was increased by almost 12ndash14in comparison with the building codes Since the newcritical curve is located above the curves determinedby building codes which is defined by using a safetyfactor gained empirically

(7) e study of the buckling behavior of prismatic(rectangular) compressed elements is a relevant steptowards understanding and assessing the reliabilityof more complex structures For the column ofother cross sections eg circular and open-sectionthe formula for calculating critical stress (equation(17)) remains the same only some geometricalcharacteristics need to be changed eg moments ofinertia

Curve 2 in Figure 4(b) depicts the dependency diagram[σcr minus λ] in the zone of medium slenderness λ isin [40 102]constructed by the use of equation (4)

If the sum of the moments of the internal forces will beequal to the external moment then the formula of thebending moment for any cross section with allowance forthe so-called tangent modulus will be equal to thefollowing

Hence

M 1ρEI1 + EtI2( ) (6)

where I1 and I2 are the moments of inertia of both partsof the cross section towards the neutral axis (Figure 6) e tangent modulus Et is obtained as constant (anaverage)

As commonly known the formula will be obtained usingthe elastoplastic modulus Tlowast instead of the elastic modulus Ein the formula M EIρ of the bending moment

M TlowastI

ρ (7)

whereM is the bending moment Tlowast is the double modulusI is the moment of inertia and ρ is the local bending radius(the radius of bending at the current section)

e formula for the double modulus of elasticity isderived by equating equations (6) and (7) and by solving Tlowast[7] as follows

Tlowast 1IEI1 + EtI2( ) (8)

As is obvious from equation (8) the double modulusdepends on the shape of the cross section of the rod eneutral axis divides the cross section into parts havingvarious moduli that allow nding the reduced stiness(Tlowast middot I) of the rod as the product of the moment of inertia (I)of the rod on the reduced modulus (Tlowast)

According to the second approach for calculatingthe stability of compressed elements (Shanleyrsquos theory)there will not be the unloaded zone in the cross sec-tion in the elastoplastic region of the material sincethe compressive force increases along with the bending[13]

At the beginning of stability loss the loading speed withthe longitudinal forces of the rod will be much more than theunloading speed of the bent bers and the stresses will in-crease throughout the section ie a small bendwill not lead tounloading erefore above the limits of elasticity the criticaltangential force will be the tangent according to modulus Et

close to the real values of critical loadsey will also be closeto the experimental data

In order for the critical curves to be determined not onlyin the elastoplastic region on the basis of the experimentaldata the authors proposed a new approach to the analyticalsolution of the formula for calculating critical stresses

32 Proposed New Approach for Obtaining Critical Stresses inthe Elastoplastic Region and Its eoretical Analysis ecalculation methods based on the results of the experimentalresearch have been the most common up to now ereforevarious authors have proposed formulas for calculating thelongitudinal bending beyond the limits of elasticity [12]

e authors suggested an original approach to the issuein particular the determination of values of the criticalstresses and the finding of the points of the bifurcation werecarried out by the tangent (Et) established by experimentalresults and by the approximation of the so-called doublemodulus (Tlowast)

If the modulus of elasticity E is replaced by the doublemodulus Tlowast in the Eulerrsquos formula the critical stress willhave the following form

σcr π2Tlowast

λ2 (11)

In this study the authors substituted the value of thedouble modulus (Tlowast) from equation (8) into the formula ofthe critical stress (equation (11)) and it was assumed thatEulerrsquos critical stress is valid until the critical slenderness(λcr)

e cross section was divided into the tensile andcompressed zones e constant modulus of elasticity E willbe used for the tensile zone and the tangent modulus Et fromequation (9) established by Shanley and proven by Stel-makhrsquos tests in the compressed zone

e joint work of both moduli in the cross section(modulus of elasticity E in the tensile zone and the tangentmodulus Et in the compressed zone) was used in the doublemodulus (Tlowast) (equation (8)) to obtain the followingequation

From equation (12) the following equation is obtained

where σcrprime is the critical stress when the critical slendernesswithin the elasticity reaches the limit value (λcr 102) andλt le λcr is the critical slenderness that has low value incomparison with λcr (Figure 4(b))

σcrt is the critical stress for the tangent modulus (in theelastoplastic region) and is equal to the following

33 Numerical Analysis According to equation (17) of thecritical stresses obtained by the authors the dependencebetween the slenderness and the critical stresses in the regionof medium slenderness is constructed as Curve 4 inFigure 4(b)

e following data were used for obtaining the numericalvalues

e material carbon steel (S235) proportional limitσpl 196 kNcm2 elastic limit σel 20 kNcm2 yielding limitσy 24 kNcm2 modulus of elasticity E 21000 kNcm2design resistance Ry 235 kNcm2 slenderness ratio 40leλt le 102 critical slenderness ratio λcr asymp 102

At the elastoplastic region and middle slenderness ratioλ isin [40 102] from Figure 4(b) it is seen that the curve ofcritical stresses constructed according to the reducedmodulus (T) of Engesser-Karman equation (4) is above allthe graphs

Curve 3 of the critical stresses (equation (10)) de-termined by the tangent modulus (Et) of Shanley is locatedbelow Curve 2 (Figure 4(b))

Curve 4 of the critical stresses (equation (17)) obtainedby approximating the double modulus proposed by authorsis located below the curve of Shanley which is very close tothe results obtained by the experimental data (Figure 4(b)asterisks-6) It confirms the accuracy of the new approach(Figure 4(b))

Curve 5 depicts values of critical stresses defined bybuilding codes for the rectangular cross section(Figure 4(b))

On the basis of theoretical and numerical analysis thefollowing results were obtained

Advances in Civil Engineering 7

(1) A new approach to the determination of criticalstresses in the elastoplastic region was developed as aresult of which the values of critical stresses with ahigh accuracy were determined

(2) e locations of possible points of the bifurcation-buckling in the elastoplastic region were establishedese bifurcation points are on Curve 4 (authorsapproach) because this curve is the closest to the realbifurcation points ie the experimental data

(3) e approach for the elimination of the presence ofresidual deformations in the cross section was de-veloped because Curve 4 in Figure 4(b) is belowCurve 2 and Curve 3 and closer to the experimentaldata

(4) Approximation and accuracy of theoretical and realcritical loads were arisen because Curve 4 is theclosest to the real critical loads ie the experimentaldata

(5) e results obtained from the proposed new ap-proaches indicate that the structure reliability wasenhanced by almost 10ndash12 in comparison withexisting approaches

(6) Economic efficiency was increased by almost 12ndash14in comparison with the building codes Since the newcritical curve is located above the curves determinedby building codes which is defined by using a safetyfactor gained empirically

(7) e study of the buckling behavior of prismatic(rectangular) compressed elements is a relevant steptowards understanding and assessing the reliabilityof more complex structures For the column ofother cross sections eg circular and open-sectionthe formula for calculating critical stress (equation(17)) remains the same only some geometricalcharacteristics need to be changed eg moments ofinertia

4 Conclusions

From the results of this study the following conclusions canbe made

(1) It is recommended to use the tangent modulus-Et(equation (9)) compared with the reduced modulus-T (equation (3)) in determining the critical stressesin the elastoplastic region

(2) It is recommended to use the new approach pro-posed by the authors to determine the stability of thecompressed rod in the elastoplastic region where thevalues of the critical stresses (equation (17)) aredetermined by approximation of the doublemodulusTlowast (equation (8)) and the tangent modulus Et(equation (9)) established by the results of experi-mental studies

(3) A new approach to the determination of criticalstresses proposed by the authors increases reliabilityby almost 10ndash12

(4) In rods (columns) of medium slenderness the pointsbelow the critical curve obtained as a result of newapproaches will not experience stability loss and thedevelopment of residual plastic deformations andthe bifurcation points will be located on this Curve 4(Figure 4(b))

(5) A new approach to the determination of criticalstresses proposed by the authors achieves economicefficiency by almost 12ndash14

(6) Reduction of the mass of the structure respectivelyreduces CO2 emissions

e joint work of both moduli in the cross section(modulus of elasticity E in the tensile zone and the tangentmodulus Et in the compressed zone) was used in the doublemodulus (Tlowast) (equation (8)) to obtain the followingequation

where σcrprime is the critical stress when the critical slendernesswithin the elasticity reaches the limit value (λcr 102) andλt le λcr is the critical slenderness that has low value incomparison with λcr (Figure 4(b))

σcrt is the critical stress for the tangent modulus (in theelastoplastic region) and is equal to the following

33 Numerical Analysis According to equation (17) of thecritical stresses obtained by the authors the dependencebetween the slenderness and the critical stresses in the regionof medium slenderness is constructed as Curve 4 inFigure 4(b)

e following data were used for obtaining the numericalvalues

e material carbon steel (S235) proportional limitσpl 196 kNcm2 elastic limit σel 20 kNcm2 yielding limitσy 24 kNcm2 modulus of elasticity E 21000 kNcm2design resistance Ry 235 kNcm2 slenderness ratio 40leλt le 102 critical slenderness ratio λcr asymp 102

At the elastoplastic region and middle slenderness ratioλ isin [40 102] from Figure 4(b) it is seen that the curve ofcritical stresses constructed according to the reducedmodulus (T) of Engesser-Karman equation (4) is above allthe graphs

Curve 3 of the critical stresses (equation (10)) de-termined by the tangent modulus (Et) of Shanley is locatedbelow Curve 2 (Figure 4(b))

Curve 4 of the critical stresses (equation (17)) obtainedby approximating the double modulus proposed by authorsis located below the curve of Shanley which is very close tothe results obtained by the experimental data (Figure 4(b)asterisks-6) It confirms the accuracy of the new approach(Figure 4(b))

Curve 5 depicts values of critical stresses defined bybuilding codes for the rectangular cross section(Figure 4(b))

On the basis of theoretical and numerical analysis thefollowing results were obtained

Advances in Civil Engineering 7

(1) A new approach to the determination of criticalstresses in the elastoplastic region was developed as aresult of which the values of critical stresses with ahigh accuracy were determined

(2) e locations of possible points of the bifurcation-buckling in the elastoplastic region were establishedese bifurcation points are on Curve 4 (authorsapproach) because this curve is the closest to the realbifurcation points ie the experimental data

(3) e approach for the elimination of the presence ofresidual deformations in the cross section was de-veloped because Curve 4 in Figure 4(b) is belowCurve 2 and Curve 3 and closer to the experimentaldata

(4) Approximation and accuracy of theoretical and realcritical loads were arisen because Curve 4 is theclosest to the real critical loads ie the experimentaldata

(5) e results obtained from the proposed new ap-proaches indicate that the structure reliability wasenhanced by almost 10ndash12 in comparison withexisting approaches

(6) Economic efficiency was increased by almost 12ndash14in comparison with the building codes Since the newcritical curve is located above the curves determinedby building codes which is defined by using a safetyfactor gained empirically

(7) e study of the buckling behavior of prismatic(rectangular) compressed elements is a relevant steptowards understanding and assessing the reliabilityof more complex structures For the column ofother cross sections eg circular and open-sectionthe formula for calculating critical stress (equation(17)) remains the same only some geometricalcharacteristics need to be changed eg moments ofinertia

4 Conclusions

From the results of this study the following conclusions canbe made

(1) It is recommended to use the tangent modulus-Et(equation (9)) compared with the reduced modulus-T (equation (3)) in determining the critical stressesin the elastoplastic region

(2) It is recommended to use the new approach pro-posed by the authors to determine the stability of thecompressed rod in the elastoplastic region where thevalues of the critical stresses (equation (17)) aredetermined by approximation of the doublemodulusTlowast (equation (8)) and the tangent modulus Et(equation (9)) established by the results of experi-mental studies

(3) A new approach to the determination of criticalstresses proposed by the authors increases reliabilityby almost 10ndash12

(4) In rods (columns) of medium slenderness the pointsbelow the critical curve obtained as a result of newapproaches will not experience stability loss and thedevelopment of residual plastic deformations andthe bifurcation points will be located on this Curve 4(Figure 4(b))

(5) A new approach to the determination of criticalstresses proposed by the authors achieves economicefficiency by almost 12ndash14

(6) Reduction of the mass of the structure respectivelyreduces CO2 emissions
