Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...

Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) are widely used in engineering practice as both load-bearing and energy-dissipating components. However, the application of traditional BRBs is often limited by their ...

Cylindrical storage tanks are critical assets in the oil, chemical and water industries. Their thin‐walled steel or composite shells are susceptible to stability loss when subjected to wind loads, ...
