The early books on stability of structures by S.P. Timoshenko, and F. Bleich treat a variety of problems normally encountered in engineering. However, the discussion in these excellent texts is limited to classical techniques and to metallic materials. In view of the rapid advancement in computer technology and the development of new techniques for solving engineering problems, the classical techniques have become purely of academic interest. Further, new materials such as fibre reinforced composites are increasingly being used because of the many advantages they have over the conventional metallic materials. Today, the numerical techniques, for example, the finite element and finite difference techniques, are extensively applied for the solution of real-life problems. Accordingly, a large number of good books covering such techniques is available. However, each presents the applicability of only one or the other technique to structural stability problems. This text, on the other...
