Comparison study of elasto-plastic behavior on static and dynamic responses for single layer lattice domes under vertical loading

This paper focuses on the elasto - plastic behavior of static and dynamic responses for single layer lattice domes, which are subjected to vertical loads. The purpose is to make clear the relationship between seismic responses and static responses from the view point of input strain energy properties after and before yielding and to estimate bearable seismic levels with the information of static elasto plastic behaviors. The static response compared is the relationships between equivalent velocities of strain energies and displacements. The dynamic response compared is that between earthquake input acceleration PGA and equivalent velocities of strain energies.
