Abstract:
      In order to study the stability of a large thin-walled structure, a kind of single-bay frame in symmetrical structure with arbitrary constraints under asymmetric loadings has been built.The frame is modelled as a number of Timoshenko beams.Based on the finite difference method and optimization method, using nodal deflections, critical load, axial force, shear force and bending moment as the design variables, nonlinear differential equations are built.An optimization algorithm of critical load based on improved particle swarm with competitive thought is put forward.JAVA computer language is used to develop the optimization procedure and ABAQUS used to obtain the simulation results of the example.Fewer design variables are needed to get effective position and critical load with high precision.A mechanical relation of position and loading on the frame could be better described to give a further support for engineering design and analysis.
