The study of structural instability plays a role of primary
importance in the field of applied mechanics. Despite the
remarkable progresses made in the recent past years, the structural
instability remains one of the most challenging topics in applied -
chanics. Many problems have bee:: solved in the last decades but
still many others remain to be solved satisfactorily. The
increasing number of papers published in jo- nals and conferences
organized by ECCS, SSRC, IUTAM, and EUROMECH strongly indicates the
interest of scientists and engineers in the subject. A careful
examination of these publications shows that they tend to fall into
one of the two categories. The first is that of practical design
direction in which methods for analyzing specific stability
problems related to some specific structural typologies are
developed. The research works are restricted to determining the
critical load, considering that it is sufficient to know the limits
of stability range. These studies are invaluable since their aim is
to provide solutions to practical problems, to supply the designer
with data useful for design and prepare norms, specifications and
codes. The second direction is that of theoretical studies, aiming
at a mathematical modeling of the instability problems, for a
better understanding of the phenomena. In these studies, special
emphasis is placed on the behavior of structures after the loss of
stability in the post-critical range. This approach is less
familiar to designers as its results have not yet become part of
current structural design practice.
