Earlier looked at Simple Beam Theory in which one considers a beam in the x-z plane with the beam along the x-direction and the load in the z-direction Figure 14.1 Representation of Simple Beam Now look at a more general case Loading can be in any direction

Now consider the case of compressive loads and the instability they can cause. Consider only static instabilities (static loading as opposed to dynamic loading [ e.g., flutter) From Unified, defined instability via a system becomes unstable when a negative stiffness overcomes

Have dealt, thus far, with perfect columns, loading eccentricities, and beam-columns. There are, however, many more issues in buckling/(static) structural instability, most of which will try to touch on a) Buckling versus Fracture Have looked at columns that are long enough such that they buckle

Thus far have considered separately beam - takes bending loads column -takes axial loads Now combine the two and look at the beam-column (Note: same geometrical restrictions as on others

There are many structural configurations where we do not have to deal with the full 3-D case. First let's consider the models Let's then see under what conditions we can apply them A. Plane Stress

As we've previously noted, we may often want to describe a structure in various axis systems. This involves... Transformations (Axis, Deflection, Stress, Strain, Elasticity Tensors) e.g., loading axes material principal axis Figure 7.1 Unidirectional Composite with Fibers at an Angle
