摘要

This paper corresponds to the text version of the presentation delivered on April 11, 2018, at the SSRC Annual Stability Conference, in the context of the 2017 SSRC McGuire Award for Junior Researchers. The paper reviews the most relevant research in which the author has been involved, in the topic of stability of thin-walled members and held in the past ten years. In particular, the paper addresses three main areas: Generalized Beam Theory, geometrically exact beam formulations and structural design aspects.
