Focusing on the theory and analysis of bifurcation and buckling in structures, this textbook outlines a general procedure for solving nonlinear governing equations, emphasizing its relation to the finite-element method. It features straightforward structural examples, including trusses, columns, and frames, to effectively illustrate these principles.

This book presents a modern static imperfect bifurcation theory relevant to physical and engineering challenges, bridging mathematical theory and engineering practice. It utilizes systematic methods to analyze various materials and includes practical applications, making it accessible for both mathematicians and engineers. The third edition enhances group representation and provides numerous examples and exercises.
