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 ...

A novel approach using the smeared stiffener method has been proposed, which effectively predicts the critical buckling load and optimizes the design of both perfect and imperfect shells.

Witnessing a small pony buckling under a load too heavy to cart, a SPCA inspector didn’t hesitate to intervene ...

"Localised deformation and randomly shaped imperfections are salient features of buckling-type instabilities in thin-walled load-bearing structures," the PNAS study said. "However, it is generally ...

These methods are crucial for understanding how such structures respond to various loads and conditions, including buckling, bending, and shear forces. Recent research has focused on enhancing the ...
