BUCKLING OF SIGMOID TIMOSHENKO BEAM ON 2-PARAMETER VARIABLE ELASTIC FOUNDATION
Abstract
A sigmoid Timoshenko beam resting on two parameter variable elastic foundation is investigated for its buckling behavior. Finite element method is used for simply supported end condition of the beam. The static part of the governing differential equation of the beam is solved to determine the shape functions to obtain accurate results. The effect of geometry, power index, foundation stiffness and foundation parameter on critical buckling load of the beam is investigated for various foundations. Key words: sigmoid, foundation parameter, foundation modulus, power index sinusoidal foundation.
