Can a single-degree-of-freedom elastic structure have two buckling loads?
We provide a positive answer to this question, see http://www.ing.unitn.it/~bigoni/multiple_bifurcations.html
Have you ever seen a structure subject to flutter instability?
Can flutter instability be connected to dry friction?
We provide positive answers to the above questions, watch the video at

We all know Euler buckling of a beam under axial thrust, but can buckling occur in an elastic structure in which all elements are subject to tensile dead loading?
