Understanding Buckling!

Buckling is a failure mode that occurs in columns and other members that are loaded in compression. It is a sudden change deformation that occurs at a certain critical load. In this video we explore ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The dynamic buckling of a finite damped imperfect column which rests on a nonlinear foundation and which is subjected to axial step-loading is ...
In my previous column, I discussed the influence of column buckling of the composite material test specimen on its measured compressive strength (see "Buckling of composite material compression ...
An engineer has designed a model to guide better design of thin-walled structures, like planes, cars and submersibles, to avoid catastrophe like sudden collapse due to buckling. A University of ...
