✦ Synopsis

Procedures to handle critical points with coincident or nearly coincident buckling loads in a geometrically nonlinear continuation process are presented. The proposed branch switching algorithm is based on a Liapunov-Schmidt-Koiter-type asymptotic reduction which is used for the prediction step into the post-buckling range. A critical review of the existing methodology for the numerical treatment of post-bifurcation branches at a multiple bifurcation point is also given. In the review the main emphasis is given to robustness, but also implementational issues and computational requirements are addressed. Some modiÿcations to the existing algorithms are proposed in order to improve their robustness or e ciency. Numerical examples of a at plate and a thin-walled structure are shown.

The paper describes an incremental procedure for tracing with uniform accuracy the equilibrium paths of elastic reticulated structures subject to conservative proportional loads. Like most traditional arc-length methods, the length of the secant vector is chosen as the increment of the representatio
