surface buckling
1Buckling — In engineering, buckling is a failure mode characterized by a sudden failure of a structural member subjected to high compressive stresses, where the actual compressive stress at the point of failure is less than the ultimate compressive stresses …
2buckling — A state of unstable equilibrium of a thin walled body when compressive loads are applied on its walls. The resultant deformation may be elastic (i.e., the body regains its shape once compressive loads are removed) or permanent. In some cases, it… …
3solids, mechanics of — ▪ physics Introduction science concerned with the stressing (stress), deformation (deformation and flow), and failure of solid materials and structures. What, then, is a solid? Any material, fluid or solid, can support normal forces.… …
