A course entitled "Buckling of Structures" held at the Technical University of Delft, September - November 2013. This course was taught by Dr. ir. R. De Breuker.
De Breuker writes:
"The course is concerned with the concept of structural stability. This concept is applied to basic discrete and continuous structural elements such as beams, plates and shells. The fundamental concepts are introduced on the basis of the governing differential equations. The course includes the following topics:
1. Equations of motion, nonlinear equilibrium equations, stationary potential energy criterion.
2. Design methods for stability of structural elements.
