∙ + ∙ = ∙ <br />

The equation for the response of the spring is: ∙ = <br />

Substituting S we get:<br />

Dividing by L:<br />

∙ + ∙ = ( ∙ ) ∙ <br />

+ <br />

∙ = ∙ <br />

And grouping terms we have:<br />

= − <br />

∙ <br />

<br />

This can further be re-written if we define the geometric stiffness as:<br />

= <br />

<br />

giving the final form as:<br />

= ( − ) ∙ <br />

Of: − ∙ = <br />

When the normal force N is multiplied with a factor αcr so that the total rigidity becomes zero:<br />

The structure will buckle and become “unstable”.<br />

<strong>Scaffolding</strong><br />

As an alternative to Global and Local imperfections, paragraph 13. Non linear combinations allows<br />

the use of a buckling shape as a unique imperfection.<br />

To input geometrical imperfections, the functionality Nonlinearity > Initial deformations and<br />

curvature and Stability must be activated.
