Theory on Buckling and Linear Perturbation

This content provides a comprehensive overview of structural buckling - a critical failure mode in engineering structures, particularly beam or shell structures. It outlines the concept of Eigenbuckling analysis, its computational advantages, and limitations. Furthermore, it delves into the technicalities of buckling load determination and explores advanced methods like the Newton-Raphson and Arc-length methods for buckling analysis. Lastly, it highlights a key limitation related to the use of tabular loads in the Arc-length method.
