POST-BUCKLING BEHAVIOR OF DETERMINATE BEAMS

A rigorous and uncomplicated theory for the large elastic deformations of beams is presented, and the theory is verified experimentally by investigating the post-buckling behavior of I-section and narrow rectangular section beams. The post-buckling strength of determinate beams is found to be small until the deformations become gross. The theory provides a basis for the investigation of the post-buckling behavior of redundant beams.
