Original Abstract

The paper deals with the stability problems of steep von Mises trusses with or without influence of initial geometrical imperfections. The complicated nonlinear problem is concerned which was solved by the method form finding. This method seeks an ideal shape of the von Mises truss at displacement of top joint. The paper presents a detailed description of calculation by this method. Applying the method form finding, areas of static equilibrium states of three steep von Mises trusses at displacement of top joint both in vertical and horizontal directions were obtained. The calculation process of these areas, and their drawing are described. These areas are illustrated for the von Mises trusses with influence or without influence of initial curvature of one bar.
