| Abstract | The post-buckling equilibrium states are determined analytically. To obtain a consistent formulation of the problem, use is made of the principle of virtual displacements and the variational calculus for variable matching points. The obtained formulations are nonlinear, but can be solved exactly. Solutions are presented for four buckled configurations. The results are presented graphically for a typical railroad track now in use on main lines. The obtained results are compared with the corresponding results of other investigators. |
