Dynamic Stability Analysis of the Tower Structure of Construction Elevators

This paper proposed a method of dynamic stability analysis for the tower structure of construction elevators based on dynamic eigenvalue method. The method employed the time frozen formulation to model the problem, and the stress field from transient analysis was utilized to simulate the pre-stress effect of buckling analysis. The proposed method was applied to estimate the dynamic stability of the tower structure of construction elevators under moving loads, and the results suggest that high coefficients of lateral load and inclined tower structure will dramatically reduce the stability of the elevator in the construction process.
