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.

Automated classification of linear bifurcation buckling eigenmodes in thin-walled cylindrical shell structures [PDF]
Computational problems in structural engineering are growing ever larger and solutions must increasingly be based on correspondingly large datasets obtained from detailed parametric sweeps.

Efficient handling of stability problems in shell optimization by asymmetric ‘worst-case’ shape imperfection [PDF]
The paper presents an approach to shape optimization of proportionally loaded elastic shell structures under stability constraints. To reduce the stability-related problems, a special technique is utilized, by which the response analysis is always ...

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,

Buckling of an axisymmetric vesicle under compression: the effects of resistance to shear [PDF]
We consider the axisymmetric deformation of an initially spherical, porous vesicle with incompressible membrane having finite resistance to in-plane shearing, as the vesicle is compressed between parallel plates.

Probing Shells Against Buckling: A Nondestructive Technique for Laboratory Testing [PDF]
This paper addresses testing of compressed structures, such as shells, that exhibit catastrophic buckling and notorious imperfection sensitivity. The central concept is the probing of a loaded structural specimen by a controlled lateral displacement to ...
