Buckling is a stability challenge in slender, thin-walled, shell, lattice, and flexible structures where compression, combined loading, thermal effects, imperfections, or time-dependent deformation can cause premature loss of load capacity. This collection brings together analyses of local, global, torsional, and mode-specific behavior, covering material and geometry optimization, stiffening, finite-element prediction, monitoring, reliability, and application-specific risk control.
