Stability of rods with initial imperfections in the form of eccentricity of of load application under linear and non-linear creep conditions

Abstract

Stability of a compressed rod having initial imperfections in the form of eccentricity of applied loan under conditions of linear and nonlinear creep is considered. It is noted that all real elements have some initial imperfections in the form of technological deflections, eccentricities of applied loads,etc., so they begin to bulge from the very beginning of loading.
