    Buckling, Postbuckling and Collapse Analysis

    Buckling and postbuckling behavior is critical to the success of certain designs. For example, crashworthiness of an automobile requires that particular vehicle components collapse in ways that maximize energy absorption. On the other hand, successful designs of imperfection-sensitive, thin-walled shell structures, ranging from beverage containers to large pressure vessels, must prevent unintentional buckling. This course blends the theoretical background on such topics as geometric nonlinearity and the Riks method together with examples, guidelines and workshops to illustrate how to simulate buckling and postbuckling behavior.
