Abstract
The postbuckling behavior of imperfect columns made of a
nonlinear viscoelastic material is investigated. The material
is modeled according to the Schapery representation of
nonlinear viscoelasticity. Solutions are developed to
calculate the growth of the initial imperfection in time and
within the elastica. The numerical results show that unlike
the case of the post-buckling analysis of linear elastic or
viscoelastic materials, here the ratio of h/l plays an important
part in the structure response. It is shown that the
postbuckling behavior of columns made of nonlinear
viscoelastic materials is qualitatively and quantitatively
betters then in the linear viscoelastic case. Conclusions
concerning creep buckling within the small deflection theory
are also presented.
