Arch Buckling

Buckling of a Circular Arch

In this project I ran a static structural analysis of an arch to determine at what pressure it would buckle.  I solved for the Eigenvalue Buckling.  This image displays the Total deformation across the arch and solves for the maximum and minimum values across the figure.  This would be useful in determining the maximum amount of pressure that can be applied before buckling occurs and determine the necessary location for reinforcements if we wish to apply more weight.  This process is one that is essential for safety and performance.
