Bifurcation and Buckling in Structures describes the theory and analysis of bifurcation and buckling in structures. Emphasis is placed on a general procedure for solving nonlinear governing equations and an analysis procedure related to the finite-element method. Simple structural examples using trusses columns and frames illustrate the principles.Part I presents fundamental issues such as the general mathematical framework for bifurcation and buckling procedures for the buckling load/mode analy
