Instability due to material
and geometric nonlinearity
Think-walled structure failure – linear vs nonlinear postbuckling Dynamic approach – consists of writing the equation of dynamic
path equilibrium of the system. Solving the equation to determine the
natural frequency () of the system. Instability corresponds to
the reduction of to zero. (not covered here)

Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. In fact,
you can use different methods to answer different questions Example Prob. – Three rigid bar system with two rotational springs

Bifurcation Analysis Bifurcation Analysis
This is the classical eigenvalue problem. [K]-[I]){x}={0}. Each eigenvalue or critical buckling load (Pcr) corresponds to a buckling shape
that can be determined as follows
We are searching for the eigenvalues () of the stiffness matrix [K].
These eigenvalues cause the stiffness matrix to become singular Pcr=k/L. Therefore substitute in the equations to determine 1 and 2
Singular stiffness matrix means that it has a zero value, which means that k (21 2 ) P L 1 0 k (2 2 1 ) P L 2 0
the determinant of the matrix is equal to zero. Let P Pcr k Let P Pcr k

All we could find is the relationship between 1 and 2. Not their specific
(2k PL k ) (2k PL k ) 0 values. Remember that this is a small deflection analysis. So, the values are
(3k PL) (k PL) 0 negligible. What we have found is the buckling shape – not its magnitude.
