    Nonlinear buckling

    Nonlinear buckling may be evaluated in using Nonlinear static analysis. This procedure takes an iterative approach while SAP2000
    implementing and Large-Displacement effect. Structural response is shown by plotting selected displacements against load P-Delta joint
    application. A softening behavior may be observed in this plot, indicating the onset of buckling, and the condition of instability which follows.
    Modeling tips
    Symmetric structures. When analyzing symmetrical structures, a geometric or loading imperfection should be introduced to initiate
    buckling.
    Subdivision. Structural objects should be subdivided into lengths small enough to capture . Four to eight or geometric nonlinearity frame
    objects are typically necessary per span. shell
    Convergence. In the definition, multiple output steps should be requested to improve convergence, and to better indicate load-case
    buckling response. may need to be tightened, possibly to the order of 1e-6. Convergence tolerance
    Displacement control. If a structure loses load-carrying capacity, displacement control should be implemented, rather than load control.
    This refers to the load-case control definition, and not how the load is actually applied.
    Extreme conditions. When instability is severe, nonlinear static analysis should be converted to direct-integration analysis. time-history
    Difference between Linear and Nonlinear buckling
    Linear (Eigenvalue) analysis. During Linear buckling analysis, perturbations are applied to the undeformed structural configuration. A
    specified set of loads are observed for which deflections could induce instability under effect. Linear buckling analysis produces a P-Delta
    set of buckling factors and corresponding . When loading is multiplied by these buckling factors, the resultant scaled loading mode shapes
    conditions represent those which induce buckling. Similarly, the mode shapes are normalized displacement sets which indicate the
    configuration of the buckled structure.
    Nonlinear analysis. During Nonlinear-static buckling analysis, the total load is applied incrementally. Stiffness and response are
    evaluated at each increment. Between each displacement step, stiffness may change due to the following effects:
    P-Delta effect, which involves large tensile or compressive stresses on transverse bending and shear behavior.
    Large-Displacement effect, in which deformed configuration is considered when assembling the equilibrium equations.
    Nonlinear material behavior, in which performance incorporates inelastic response. implements SAP2000 material nonlinearity
    using frame and nonlinear objects. hinges layered-shell
    Comparison. Because Nonlinear-static buckling analysis considers material nonlinearity while generating buckling response, results are
    often more realistic than those of Linear buckling analysis. The results of Nonlinear-static analysis are indicated by a plot of deformed
    configuration against load application. This plot displays the softening behavior which indicates the onset of buckling.
