Happy Catastrophe: Recent Progress in Analysis and Exploitation of Elastic Instability

A synthesis of recent progress is presented on a topic that lies at the heart of both structural engineering and non-linear science. The emphasis is on thin elastic structures that lose stability subcritically—without a nearby stable post-buckled state—a canonical example being a uniformly axially-l...
