Constrained Buckling of Variable Length Elastica
… in this thesis is especially concerned with the buckling response of an elastic rod (the elastica) subjected to unilateral constraints under axial compression. It seeks to address two main issues: (i) the conditions that lead to the onset of instability, and (ii) the factors that define the …

Confined wrinkling of thin elastic rods, sheets and cones
… a prescribed confinement to ensure higher-mode buckling and hence a reasonable post-buckling capacity. The main aim is to understand and predict this confined buckling behaviour of some simple thin-walled structural forms: a rod, rectangular sheet, trapezium, rectangle with a central hole, cone …
