Nonlinear buckling analysis of steel arch structures examines their stability under loads that induce large deformations, geometric imperfections and material nonlinearities. Unlike classical ...

Functionally graded shell structures combine spatially varying material properties with curved geometries to achieve tailored strength, stiffness and stability characteristics. These shells often ...

We have studied for the first time the scaling of controlled nonlinear buckling processes in materials with dimensions in the molecular range (i.e., ~1 nm) through experimental and theoretical studies ...

In previous studies of thin film wrinkling on soft substrates, the mechanics models usually assume plane-strain deformation, which was found to disagree with experimental observations for narrow thin ...

Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...
