term describing bending behavior
term describing bending behavior
(OP)
Problem: Take a u-channel and bend it with the legs facing away from the bend axis. The channel bends uniformly, stretching the legs. If you then bend the same u-channel with the legs facing toward the inside of the bend, the legs quickly buckle. What is the term that describes this behavior? Can someone point me to a reference that speacks to this subject?
Many thanks!
Many thanks!

Compressive buckling?
Metal structures usually do not fracture in compression. They buckle.
