Seyranian A.P., Elishakoff I. (Eds.) Modern Problems of Structural Stability

Springer-Verlag, Wien, 2002. — 398 p. — ISBN: 3211836977.Stability of structures is one of the most important and interesting fields in mechanics. This book is dedicated to fundamental concepts, problems and methods of structural stability along with qualitative understanding of instability phenomena. The methods presented are constructive and easy to implement in computer programs.Stability Bounds and Optimal Shape of Elastic Rods
The Odd Stability of the Euler Beam
Some Unconventional Elastic Stability Problems
The Effect of Initial Imperfections on Shell Stability
Bifurcations of Eigenvalues and Stability Problems in Mechanics
Sensitivity Analysis for Dynamic Stability Problems
Experimental Approach to Nonconservative Stability Problems
