The mechanics of a buckling structure is modeled using P.D.E.'s of varying complexity. Column models are presented: 1. Columns of stable cross-section, which may be long (euler), intermediate (johnson) or short (hookean) and 2. Flat plates, which may have constrained or unconstrained edges. The formulation and solution of which is outside the scope of this course.
