Abstract
The exact solutions for the stability analysis of a one-step bar of va rying cross-section subjected to concentrated and distributed axial lo ads are found first. Then the exact solution of that bar is used to de rive the eigenvalue equation of a multi-step bar of varying cross-sect ion subjected to more complicated loads by using transition matrices. All of the exact solutions are expressed in terms of Bessel's function s and super-geometric series.
