Abstract

The dynamic response of linear viscoelastic temperature-dependent prismatic columns is investigated under axial compressive loads and due to thermal stresses and moments. Creep buckling instabilities and probabilities of material failures are analyzed to determine column life or survival times. Optimum designer materials are studied to minimize thermal stress and axial load effects while concurrently lowering failure probabilities and extending survival times.
