Buckling is a failure mode that occurs in columns and other members that are loaded in compression. It is a sudden change deformation that occurs at a certain critical load. In this video we explore ...

Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...

Roberto Ballarini, University of Houston Thomas and Laura Hsu Professor and department chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is leading the effort to predict the detrimental effects of ...
