Benjamin Schafer and Gregory Hancock, “A detailed history of distortional buckling of columns”
ABSTRACT: Research in the behavior of cold-formed steel columns spans approximately fifty years. Through that time distortional buckling, under many different names, has come in and out of the spotlight. This brief account highlights the major experimental work in cold-formed steel column research. Theoretical trends are also briefly mentioned, particularly as they relate to distortional buckling. Though distortional buckling in beams and columns is intimately tied together an attempt is made to focus only on the column research.
