Buckling Studies of a Short-Span Steel Girder Bridge Part 1
This document aims to introduce the various ways one can study buckling behavior in S-FRAME. We will examine this using a generic steel girder bridge structure, which has been deliberately altered to weaken it, hence allowing us to illustrate buckling behavior. The modifications from the original design include: Reduction…

Flutter Analysis with OptiStruct
Introduction Flutter is a dynamic aeroelastic phenomenon in which the aerodynamic loads on a flexible body couple with its natural modes of vibration to produce oscillatory motions with increasing amplitude. This may lead to catastrophic structural failure and hence structures exposed to aerodynamic loads must be carefully…
