Determination of interaction curves for the stability of a three degree of freedom, shallow arch model under multiple dynamic loads

The primary purpose of this study is to determine stability boundaries (interaction curves) for a three degree of freedom, shallow arch model under multiple dynamic loads. The model consists of four rigid bars connected by frictionless pins, with rotational springs and dashpots at the three interior...
