Abstract
In this paper, the transfer matrix method is applied to the thin-walled members with wave-type cross section, where the curvatures of the consecutive shell panels are different directions each other. In the derivation of the transfer matrix, the minus radiuses of curvature and transfer angles are introduced. To demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method, the results obtained by the method are compared with those obtained with folded plate approximation. The buckling strength and mode shapes of the members with wave-type cross sections are compared with those of the members with other types of cross sections.
