Review

'This book delivers a clear attempt to come to terms with this unpredictability by probabilistic, rather than deterministic, means.' Chemistry & Industry

'This substantial and attractive volume is a well-organized and superbly written one that should be warmly welcomed.' Current Engineering Practice

Book Description

When a structure is put under an increasing compressive load, it becomes unstable and buckling occurs. Buckling is a particularly significant concern in designing shell structures such as aircraft and automobiles. This book discusses stability analysis and buckling problems and offers practical tools for dealing with uncertainties that exist in real systems.
