Lateral Torsional Buckling Explained
Lateral torsional buckling (LTB) is a stability phenomenon that affects slender beams subjected to bending. It occurs when a beam, instead of simply bending about its major axis, experiences simultaneous lateral displacement and twist, leading to a sudden out-of-plane failure. Understanding and preventing LTB is critical in the design of steel and aluminium structures where…
