The stability phenomenon of a structure is defined by its state of equilibrium. The equilibrium of a designed structure is stable if small imperfections or defects will cause correspondingly small deviations from the idealized operating condition. Buckling or structural instability is considered one of the main modes of failure of ship structure members subjected to compressive forces. The design of an idealized column differs from the actual structure of the column. This difference is due to the presence of numerous small imperfections, defects or deviations. The buckling mode of a column corresponds to the lowest buckling load which is referred to as the critical buckling load. Structural stability should be provided for the structure as a whole and also for each of its structural members. Because of the inevitable presence of geometric imperfections in fabricated structures, actual instabilities may be expected to occur at a load rather less than the load of an ideal column.
