In my previous column, I discussed the influence of column buckling of the composite material test specimen on its measured compressive strength (see "Buckling of composite material compression ...

An engineer has designed a model to guide better design of thin-walled structures, like planes, cars and submersibles, to avoid catastrophe like sudden collapse due to buckling. A University of ...

In 1968, a gas explosion on the 18th floor of a high-rise in London’s Ronan Point area blew out a load-bearing wall. All the rooms directly above the damaged apartment collapsed, which then caused the ...

A new drill pipe buckling model provided excellent predictions for each full-scale buckling test performed, not only in terms of deformed buckling shape but also in terms of weight transfer. Existing ...
