Stability of Structures
The subject of this book is the stability of structures subjected to external
loading that induces compressive stresses in the body of the structures. The
structural elements examined are beams, columns, beam-columns, frames,
rectangular plates, circular plates, cylindrical shells, and general shells.
Emphasis is on understanding the behavior of structures in terms of loaddisplacement
characteristics; on formulation of the governing equations;
and on calculation of the critical load.
