dc.description.abstractThe object of this study is to incorporate a nonlinear material law for wood in the finite element program ABAQUS to develop effective finite element models of glulam domes, and to investigate the buckling behavior of glulam domes using this finite element program. The material law is implemented with a FORTRAN subroutine. Results from thorough testing of the subroutine are presented. The dome is then modeled with I-DEAS and, analyzed with ABAQUS. The modeling procedure is briefly discussed, and the results from the stability analysis of the dome are presented. Finally, conclusions and further research scope based on this study are presented.en
