In this paper numerical studies on global buckling of thin-walled members are presented. Various methods are used including classical analytical solutions, the semi-analytical finite strip method, the generalized beam theory, shell finite element method and the recently derived shell-model-based analytical formulae. Critical forces are calculated for flexural, pure torsional and flexural–torsional...
