Self-locking and Stability of the Bowline Knot
Bastien F. G. Aymon, Fani Derveni, Michael Gomez +2
We investigate the self-locking of the bowline knot through numerical simulations, experiments, and theoretical analysis. Specifically, we perform two complementary types of simula…
The most severe imperfection governs the buckling strength of pressurized multi-defect hemispherical shells
Fani Derveni, Florian Choquart, Arefeh Abbasi +2
We perform a probabilistic investigation on the effect of systematically removing imperfections on the buckling behavior of pressurized thin, elastic, hemispherical shells containi…
Defect-Defect Interactions in the Buckling of Imperfect Spherical Shells
Fani Derveni, Arefeh Abbasi, Pedro M. Reis
We perform finite element simulations to study the impact of defect-defect interactions on the pressure-induced buckling of thin, elastic, spherical shells containing two dimpled i…
Comparing the buckling strength of spherical shells with dimpled versus bumpy defects
Arefeh Abbasi, Fani Derveni, Pedro M. Reis
We investigate the effect of defect geometry in dictating the sensitivity of the critical buckling conditions of spherical shells under external pressure loading. Specifically, we…
Probabilistic buckling of imperfect hemispherical shells containing a distribution of defects
Fani Derveni, William Gueissaz, Dong Yan +1
The buckling of spherical shells is plagued by a strong sensitivity to imperfections. Traditionally, imperfect shells tend to be characterized empirically by the knockdown factor,…
