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 ...

A new study examines structural buckling as a control method for solar sails, detailing kirigami cuts, simulations, and experiments to adjust spacecraft orientation efficiently.
