The effects of earthquake excitations on reticulated domes
… were made on the behavior of two full-sized reticulated domes subjected to uniform static loads only and uniform static loads with earthquake excitations. Space truss elements were used in the dome models. The stiffness matrix of the space truss element allows for the nonlinear …

Stability of reticulated domes under multiple static and dynamic loads
… dissertation is to investigate the stability of reticulated domes under multiple static and dynamic loads. Two elastic geometrically nonlinear structural models of a reticulated dome with 21 and 39 degrees of freedom are considered. The nonlinear response of the system to static loads is obtained …

Linear and nonlinear analysis of space trusses relative to cylindrical coordinates
… Riks/Wempner method. Two radially symmetric reticulated domes which exhibit snap-through instability and which were subjected to radially symmetric loads were analyzed both linearly and nonlinearly. Along with the entire structures, "pie slices" of the structures were also analyzed. Accuracy …

A study of a moving contact algorithm
… the postbuckling equilibrium path of shallow reticulated domes. This algorithm, with some modifications, is used to move from one load step to another step in this study. As in most nonlinear problems, the size of the load step influences the rate of convergence. In addition, in the moving …
