Non-Classical Problems in the Theory of Elastic Stability

by Yiwei Li, James H. Starnes Jr., Isaac Elishakoff

Book Overview

When a structure is put under an increasing compressive load, it becomes unstable and buckling occurs. This important work discusses stability analysis and buckling problems and offers practical tools for dealing with uncertainties that exist in real systems. The techniques are based on two complementary theories that are developed in the text: the probabilistic theory of stability and anti-optimization, a theory that is valid when the necessary information...
