Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling analyseras olika typer av stabilitets fenomen. Först studeras det kvasi-statiska uppförandet av en elastisk struktur som lastas med en växande last. Beteenden vid laster som är högre än bucklingslasten studeras med en vägföljande metod där gränspunkter (limit-points) och bifurkationspunkter kan bestämmas med god noggrannhet och jämviktslösningarna kanIn this thesis different kinds of stability phenomena are analysed. Firstly the quasi-static behaviour of an elastic structure is studied for increasing loading. The post-buckling behaviour is studied numerically with a path-following method where limit points and bifurcation points can be determined with good accuracy and the solutions may be followed out on the secondary branches. Secondly, an a
