Geometric buckling and material buckling are two concepts in structural engineering and mechanics that describe different failure modes of structures under compressive loads. Here’s a breakdown of each: ### Geometric Buckling **Definition**: Geometric buckling refers to the instability that occurs in slender structures when they reach a critical load, causing a sudden lateral deflection or deformation. This type of buckling is primarily influenced by the geometry or slenderness of the structure rather than the material properties.
