Summary
This paper presents an algorithm for thermal buckling analysis of thin-walled beamtype
structures. A one-dimensional finite element is employed subject to the
assumptions of large displacements, large rotational effects but small strains. The
geometric stiffness matrix of the thin-walled beam finite element is derived.
Stability analysis is performed in a load deflection manner using the co-rotational
formulation. The cross- section mid-line contour is assumed to remain undeformed
in its own plane and the shear strains of the middle surface are neglected. The
analysis is restricted to constant material properties. The results are validated on test
examples.
