Synopsis

Written by eminent researchers and renown authors of numerous publications in the buckling structures field.

  • Deals with experimental investigation in the industry.
  • Covers the conventional and more unconventional methods for testing for a wide variety of structures.

Various parameters which may influence the test results are systemically highlighted including, imperfections, boundary conditions, loading conditions as well as the effects of holes and cut-outs.

From the Back Cover

This two-volume book covers a wide range of experimental methods for testing and assessing buckling behavior for a variety of structures. It summarizes the state of the art of buckling theory and computations, and then investigates systematically the parameters that influence test results such as imperfections, boundary conditions, loading conditions, and residual stresses. Many typical tests are discussed and evaluated in detail in both volumes.

This first volume addresses basic concepts, columns, beams, arches, and plates. The second volume covers shells, stiffened plates and composite structures, plastic buckling, cutout and damage effects, buckling under dynamic loads, thermal buckling and nondestructive tests.
