Buckling problems of thin elastic shells [PDF]
The article covers several mathematical problems relating to elastic stability of thin shells in view of inconsistencies that have been recently identified between the experimental data and the predictions based on the shallow- shell theory.

Helical buckling of thin rods: FE modelling
In this paper, we utilize the Finite Element (FE) method to model twisting of long thin rods and capture the bifurcation scenarios leading to heli- cal buckling and various further post-buckling states.

Active Metamaterials with Tunable Shear Nonreciprocity and Nonlinear Dynamics. [PDF]
Active gear‐based mechanical metamaterials enable simultaneous control of translational and torsional stiffnesses by 30–100×, break shear reciprocity under positive versus negative loads, broadly tune resonant frequencies, and offer programmable dynamic responses.

Post-Buckling Behaviour of Steel Structures with Different Types of Imperfections
In this paper, the stability of steel members with a complex initial geometrical imperfection pattern are analysed. This issue is extremely important in the case of slender structures, characterised by multiple close critical loads and modal interactions,
