Bifurcations in the optimal elastic foundation for a buckling column
Daniel Rayneau-Kirkhope, Robert Farr, K. Ding +1
We investigate the buckling under compression of a slender beam with a distributed lateral elastic support, for which there is an associated cost. For a given cost, we study the op…
