CIVL Pablo Hurtado Assignment

The document is an assignment containing problems to calculate critical loads and buckling modes of bar-spring systems using bifurcation and energy approaches. It contains 5 problems: 1) Find critical loads of two bar-spring systems using bifurcation and energy approaches. 2) Calculate the two buckling eigenvalues and plot eigenvectors for a system of two rigid bars connected by hinges. 3) Solutions for problems 1 and 2 are shown using mathematical equations to determine critical loads and eigenvectors.
