Imperfections can significantly reduce the buckling load of a structure, especially if they are in the direction of the buckling mode. For example, a column with a slight initial curvature will ...

MWNTs under hydrostatic pressure experience radial buckling. As a result of this, different buckling modes are obtained depending on the inter-tube separation d as well as the number of constituent ...

A new vertical suspension technique utilising the remarkable properties of column springs in Euler buckling mode allows the mass of suspension springs to be reduced towards their ultimate minimum, ...

Helical Buckling: A deformation mode in which a structure spirals into a helix shape under compressive or torsional loads. Critical Load: The minimum load at which a structure becomes unstable and ...

Thick cylindrical shells under transverse loading exhibit an elephant foot buckling mode, whereas moderately thick cylindrical shells show a diamond buckling mode. There exists some intermediate ...
