Buckling and Postbuckling of Beams, Plates, and Shells

More about the book

Focusing on the stability of structures, this book delves into flexural theory across various chapters. It examines how structures respond to mechanical and thermal loads, considering different structural and material types, including homogeneous and functionally graded materials. Key phenomena like bifurcation and postbuckling behavior are explored, providing a comprehensive understanding of stability in engineering contexts. Detailed explanations enhance the reader's grasp of complex structural responses.
