| Summary: | The present study investigates elastic buckling behavior of open-section shell segments under action of a central radial load. A design parameter is expressed to characterize the influence of fillet radius on load-bearing capacity. A reduction factor equation is developed as a multivariate function of shell parameters, which evaluates the amount of decrease in load-bearing capacity of the structure caused by the corner fillet. In addition, an expression to predict limit load of the shell structure under clamped end conditions is introduced. Furthermore, a parametric study is performed to reveal the influence of fillet radius and radius-to-thickness ratio on the limit load as well as deformation patterns of the open-section shells. Results show that corner fillets has a significant effect on the limit load of the open-section shell segments under in-plane loading. |
