An investigation was made of the loss of stability of polymer rods exposed to disturbances in the form of camber of the rod and eccentricity of load application. At present, polymeric materials are being used not only as fencing constructions and as constructions of 'secondary' value but also as bearing elements. Polymer rods for the strengthening of suspended constructions are an example. These rods undergo both elongation and compression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
