Abstract
This paper summarizes a part of the first author's Ph.D. Thesis(1) com pletely devoted to multimode elastic buckling within an FEM strategy. The theoretical arguments unfold among critical points on radial paths (the unique post-critical paths variationally defined), algebraic cha racterizations, proposition demonstrations and so on, by aiming to pro ve that the complexity of the phenomenon of multimode buckling (second ary bifurcations, post-critical attractive paths) can be theoretically explained.
