Abstract
An authoritative review on stochastic buckling of structures was written by Amazigo some quarter century ago. The present review summarizes some of th e developments which took place since then. A brief overview of the effect of uncertainty in the initial geometric imperfections, elastic moduli, appl ied forces, and thickness variation is given. For the benefit of the though tful reader, the review is of critical nature. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevi er Science Ltd.
