Engineering Stability Evaluations
This chapter discusses some common engineering approaches to stability problems, of which at least a few should be well-known to a reader. The objectives are to set the basis for the following treatment, and to add aspects to the common methods, where more general approaches can provide further information. The demonstration examples primarily give expressions for limit and buckling states, often interpreted as maximum forcing levels for the considered structure, even if secondary equilibrium states may exist. As the present book will promote a view on stability, which differs from many common approaches, the engineering examples will be accompanied by analyses where dynamic aspects of stability are in focus. An energy view on structural equilibrium will thereby allow the unification of common static and dynamic stability criteria. The present treatise will also emphasize that stability is parameter dependent property of one particular state, and not just a limit for a certain qualitative response of the structure. This view is introduced in loose terms already in this Chapter, and will be a theme for coming Chapters, where more comprehensive settings are introduced.
