Non-Classical Problems in the Theory of Elastic Stability

Klappentext Presents techniques for stability analysis based on the probabilistic theory of stability or 'anti-optimization' theory. Zusammenfassung 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.
