His several papers on the propagation of instability in structures are really interesting.</p> <p>His PhD work was on the propagating buckle and its arrest.</p> <p>In the presence of sufficiently large external pressure, an offshore pipeline buckle initiates and propagates, until encounters a region of low pressure or an arresting device. </p> <br class="clear" /> Sat, 17 Mar 2007 23:33:55 -0400 Henry Tan comment 1810 at http://imechanica.org
