Shock-Sensitivity in Shell-Like Structures: with Simulations of Spherical Shell Buckling
J. Michael T. Thompson, Jan Sieber
Under increasing compression, an unbuckled shell is in a metastable state which becomes increasingly precarious as the buckling load is approached. So to induce premature buckling…
Nonlinear dynamic interactions between flow-induced galloping and shell-like buckling
J. Michael T. Thompson, Jan Sieber
For an elastic system that is non-conservative but autonomous, subjected for example to time-independent loading by a steadily flowing fluid (air or water), a dangerous bifurcation…
Quantified 'shock sensitivity' above the Maxwell load
J. M. T. Thompson, G. H. M. van der Heijden
Using the static-dynamic analogy, work at Bath and Bristol has uncovered the vital organizing role of the Maxwell 'energy criterion' load in the advanced post-buckling of long-thin…
Climate tipping as a noisy bifurcation: a predictive technique
J. M. T. Thompson, Jan Sieber
It is often known, from modelling studies, that a certain mode of climate tipping (of the oceanic thermohaline circulation, for example) is governed by an underlying fold bifurcati…
Dynamics of the Nearly Parametric Pendulum
B. Horton, J. Sieber, J. M. T. Thompson +1
Dynamically stable periodic rotations of a driven pendulum provide a unique mechanism for generating a uniform rotation from bounded excitations. This paper studies the effects of…
