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 ...

Engineers looked to nature to find a shape that could improve all kinds of slender structures, from building columns to bicycle spokes -- they found an answer in sea sponges. Judging by their name ...

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 ...
