Abstract

The buckling and post-buckling of curved beams under mechanical distributed and concentrated loads and thermal loads with different types of boundary conditions are discussed in detail in this chapter. The existence of bifurcation points are examined for each type of loading. For those cases that bifurcation do not occur, the limit load is discussed. The chapter ends with the discussion of buckling and post-buckling of rings under hydrostatic pressure.
