Abstract

While derivation of the asymptotic theory of elastic postbuckling of structures with a distinct lowest buckling load is in principle fairly straight forward, albeit somewhat lengthy, see Chap. 19, a similar theory valid for the behavior of geometrically imperfect structures is much more complicated, and only the most important formulas
