* Edited by Josef Singer, the world's foremost authority on structural buckling.
* Time-saving and cost-effective design data for all structural, mechanical, and aerospace engineering researchers.

Written by eminent researchers and renown authors of numerous publications in the buckling structures field.
* Deals with experimental investigation in the industry.
* Covers the conventional and more unconventional methods for testing for a wide variety of structures.
* Various parameters which may influence the test results are systemically highlighted including, imperfections, boundary conditions, loading conditions as well as the effects of holes and cut-outs.

The four lectures presented in this volume discuss recent ideas such as bifurcation, catastrophe and singular theory in elastic post-buckling but avoid advanced mathematics. The influence of imperfections and boundary conditions on the maximal load of stiffened shells of revolution is studied by numerical methods. Experimental methods to test compressed structures are presented and will serve as a useful guide for engineers and physicists. Also of practical importance is the thorough discussion of the state of the art in plastic buckling of plates and shells under the influence of the...
