Unsymmetrical Bending – Derivation of Constitutive Relationships for Analysis in Displacement Method

This thesis investigates how unsymmetrical bending can be expressed by the displacement method. It derives and solves ordinary differential equations with real and complex solutions. In turn, the solutions are used to derive closed-form constitutive relations that describe unsymmetrical bending.

The thesis focuses on deformations and internal forces of first and second order analysis. Furthermore, the relations are applied to exemplary systems and compared with the structural frame and truss analysis software RSTAB 9. They are used to prove Euler's buckling load of a pinned-pinned column. This thesis extends upon existing theories for symmetrical bending and makes them applicable to unsymmetrical bending.
