An overview of a specific reduced order modelling technique for Finite Element nonlinear buckling analysis of structures under static and dynamic loading is presented. The reduction method applied makes use of an available, well-established analytical perturbation procedure for static buckling and dynamic buckling analysis. This procedure has in the past years been used as the foundation for the development and implementation of a Finite Element framework for reduced order nonlinear buckling analysis. These achievements are reported, including a concise description of the underlying theory and certain characteristic examples. A basic example of a composite plate and other examples related to aircraft applications demonstrate the capabilities of this reduced order modelling framework for nonlinear buckling and dynamic response analysis and illustrate the current status of its development.

In order to analyze the buckling behavior of lattice shells stiffened by cables or slender braces without pre-tension, it is necessary to consider the no-compression property of braces. This paper proposes an innovative method of linear buckling analysis that considers the no-compression property of braces. Moreover, in order to examine the proposed method's validity, its results are compared with the results from a nonlinear buckling analysis with geometrical nonlinearity and material nonlinearity to express the no-compression property of braces. The results show that the proposed method can well-predict the buckling behaviors of lattice shells stiffened by tension braces.
