Abstract: Several nonclassical stability problems dealing with simple cantilever columns of practical engineering importance are comprehensively presented. The salient feature of these rather peculiar problems is that column instability ...

Abstract: This paper deals with simple frames having latticed members of varying moments of inertia. Critical loads are established in a closed form by means of a bifurcational analysis. The individual and coupling effects of various ...

Abstract: An elastica post‐buckling response of a uniform, axially compressed, pinned bar of nonlinearly elastic “soft” material is presented. A stability analysis is performed using two approximate analytical approaches based on a ...
