Analyses of thin-walled sections under localised loading for general end boundary conditions - Part 2: Buckling

For different support and applied loading conditions, different functions are required for flexural and membrane displacements. In Part 1- Pre-buckling described in the companion paper, the analysis provides the computation of the stresses for use in the buckling analyses in this paper. Numerical examples of buckling analyses of thin-walled sections under localised loading with different end boundary conditions are also given in the paper in comparison with the FEM.
