Description

This book deals with the elastic stability of solids and structures.

It begins with fundamental aspects of stability, relating the basic notions of dynamic stability to more traditional quasi-static approaches.

The book is concerned not only with buckling, or linear instability, but most importantly with nonlinear post-buckling behavior and imperfection-sensitivity.

After laying out the general theory, Koiter applies the theory to a number of applications, with a chapter devoted to each.

These include a variety of beam, plate, and shell structural problems and some basic continuum elasticity problems.

Koiter's classic results on the nonlinear buckling and imperfection-sensitivity of cylindrical and spherical shells are included.

The treatments of both the fundamental aspects and the applications are completely self contained.

This book was recorded as a detailed set of notes by Arnold van der Heijden from W.

T. Koiter's last set of lectures on stability theory, at TU Delft.
