Structural instability mechanisms on bridges neoprene bearings
Keywords
Abstract
Bearings are subjected to several structural instability mechanisms due to their loads. Several mechanisms involving buckling are to be analyzed in this article, like strain limit, sliding limit, tensile in steel sheet, rotation limit verification, curvature instability and friction instability to different kinds of loads. Finite Element Method and Symbolic Algebraic Computation were employed in order to analyze behavior in several bearings sections in compliance with European Codes.
