Abstract
Interaction of nearly simultaneous buckling modes in the presence of imperfections is studied. The investigation is concerned with thin-walled trapezoidal columns under uniform compression. The asymptotic expansion established by Byskov and Hutchinson is also used here. The present paper is devoted to an improved study of the equilibrium path in the initial post-buckling behaviour of imperfect structures. The results obtained include the effect of interaction of the ‘primary’ local mode and a ‘secondary’ local mode having the same wavelength as the primary. In this paper the analysis of a few buckling mode interactions is presented.
