I'm investigating buckling of cellular structures and started off with a simple two-cell case which worked as expected. I've started effectively building up combinations of these two cell units but even by the time I get to a six-cell structure I get negative eigenvalue results. Whenever this...
I'm doing an eignenvector buckling analysis for a box girder bridge and am using the buckle linear perturbation load. The displacements for the deformations all come out as fractions of the maximum. How do I find the actual displacements?
Thanks.
